Update!

Well howdy do out there!

I just realized it has been a whole 10 days since I posted! Has life really been that busy? I guess it has! Well the kids went back to school. Their first week was a little rocky. Nobody wanted to get back into the swing of getting up early, homework, studying, etc. I can't say I was overjoyed either. I don't think Alyssa and I did much at all that week. We just sorta sat and played, took some walks, went to the park and realized "geez, everyone is gone" all dang day long.

Our 2nd week back got a little more hectic, a little more involved. I think I mentioned awhile back that I was elected PTO VP in November. Well the gal who was President (who had been VP but moved up when the orig President resigned~follow so far? LOL) decided that after 2 months it was too much for her so SHE resigned. Guess what that made me? Ya, you guessed right. Now I'M President. It has gone well so far. I got all the information from her and had my first PTO meeting on the 11th. It went smoothly even though I was a nervous wreck. We have a lot of great events planned from Family Game Night, Movie Night, Family Valentine Dance, Spring Fling, Fun Run and so on. I have two great ladies still on the board to serve with me and I feel very lucky to have them.

Shane is good, keeping up at work. He's been doing a lot more outside too. He showed the kids how to putt a golf ball so they did that night after night for a week. Then he got them a new soccer ball and a new football. They play toss many nights during the week. Alyssa has overcome her fear of the slide so now everyday we go out and she slides for forever (ok, it just feels like forever). She has also gotten really good at peddling her trike so she does that indoors and out. Yes, I let her ride her trike in the house :P  The big kids are good too. Cassandra started riding lessons at her Papa's house. She gets 2 more on her own and then Savannah will do some on her own. Then they will do lessons together. She has a great time, rides for about 2 hours and comes home SORE for a couple of days. She wants to join an after school Lego club run by her teacher. We'll see if that pans out as well. That would have her gone 4 afternoons a week which seems like a lot to me with homework and all. I guess we'll try it because we can cut back if it's too much.

That's about it here. The weathermen say rain all next week. I hope they are right. I sure was wondering where winter went, it was 76 degrees today. Now, I am not complaining because it sure as hell isn't 110 out but I would have taken a month or so more of the 50's. So we'll see if this rain shows up. They are calling for quite a bit of snow in the northern and eastern part of the state too. My fingers are crossed!

Take care!
