Phew!

Its been a while, huh? Almost a whole entire month. Quite honestly, there hasn't been a whole lot to talk about. Life has been crazy, as usual, but nothing exciting has occurred. I guess a bullet list of some "maybe" interesting things and tidbits from my life, and maybe some totally random comments would be a good format for today's blog.

  • I am extremely proud of my little girl. She got her report card, and while they do not get letter grades until 3rd grade, she had all 91-100 on all subjects, and the 91 was in penmanship! She also had all 1's for behaviors except for a 2 in something like talking. Apples don't fall far from the tree. That saying is true.
  • Its been good to get to see family more often. Ray's sister Katie and her hubby Eddie moved to Orlando and we've seen them a couple of times already. Only problem is, that when I saw them in the past I was either on vacation or its been Christmas, so my brain is constantly confused, thinking its Christmas every other weekend. Ha! Glad to have you back, KT
  • Whoa, really. Is it TOO much to ask to just be a smidgen cooler? I mean seriously, its been 90 degrees or higher for almost the whole month of October with no end in sight. Please, just let it get a little cooler. It's Fall for Pete's sake.
  • Nate has this obsession with cars lately. He's always asking what this does and what that does. He knows that the age to drive is 16. He's 3. What 3 yr old is counting the days until he can drive? I don't even think I thought about driving until I was like 13 or 14. Anyway, tonight I was playing around with him and I told him that when he's 15 he's going to turn 17 next and poor kid thought if he skipped 16 he wouldn't ever be able to drive. So cute.
  • The other day, Nate was so cute (when isn't he cute?). He asked for some monies (which what he was looking at was some change in my car) and said he wanted to use it to buy a gift for Grace. Awww. Isn't that sweet?
  • 7 more weeks until I get a school break. Yay!
  • Its really fun seeing some of Grace's work from school make it home. Some of her assignments require her to answer questions in sentences. Its cute to see what she writes because there are a lot of words she doesn't yet know how to spell. some of the words are: PEPUL (people), PISIFIC (Pacific), MENE (many). My favorite is pepul. That's how I think it should be spelled, too.
Well, that's about all I've got for now.
