Things have gotten crazy lately with me. My workload has doubled. They laid off a colleague of mine and gave me all her work. So, I've been working at night and on the weekends to get things done. I'm hoping that once I get used to her duties, things will get easier for me and take less time. We'll see, because working "Randy hours" is tough. Especially when you have to be the mommy and run the house. I actually told Randy the other day, that I needed a Crackberry. I just can't stay on top of my work unless I'm online all the time. :-( I guess I'm earning those big bucks now.
Anyway, Nate has continued to amaze us. Yesterday we noticed him doing "pretend" play with his cars. I thought kids didn't start that until they were older, but this little man continues to be pretty freakin advanced.
It was so cute to hear him play. He was saying to one car in a high voice "you gonna be nice?" Then in a deep voice "NO!!!" Then in a high voice "YOU go to time out!" I wonder where he picked up that scenario...
Yes, Nate has a strong personality and says "NO!" and "YOU stop it!" quite a bit. But when he gets in trouble and makes mommy have a mad face, he smiles and looks at me sweetly and says "hi mommy." He's a little charmer, that one.
Ryan finished First grade with almost ALL perfect scores on his report card!! His conduct marks weren't the best, but I'm not worried about that (right now). It's obviously not interfering with his learning at all. He is such a warm caring little boy. But he's also the class clown. Which isn't a bad thing really. It takes someone with a strong, confident, interesting personality to make the class laugh. I actually admire that in him, as it's a trait that I never had growing up.
He's also finishing up his baseball season. We have a really bad coach this season, but Randy is the pitcher (it's coach pitch) and helps with the practices. Ryan hit 2 homeruns in the last game! He's got some skills. Randy is going to coach the team in the summer league and we hopefully go AA in the fall. I'm not looking forward to the hot summer baseball season... we'll see how that works out.
On Wednesday we are leaving for Gulf Shores, AL for a condo on the beach with Bret, Wendy and Sydney. We'll be gone 6 whole nights. I cannot WAIT!!! I need the vacation so bad! So does Randy. And you know, I don't really care (that much) about what happens at work while I'm gone. (yeah, but I'm bringing my laptop) Anyway, I'm gonna try really hard to relax.
Two days after we return, Robin, Jim, Samantha, Lauren, and Gramma Karen are coming for a long weekend! I can't wait to see them! We haven't seen them since Disney World in September.
The week after that, my mom and step-dad are taking Ryan on a special trip to Yellowstone! They are going to do so many fun things, I'm jealous! He is going to have an amazing time.
After that, we get a few weeks to rest and then Ryan and I are taking a special trip to Boston to go camping with Robin et al. I'm so excited about that. And looking forward to seeing Robin's new crib. I've seen pics and videos and it's just gorgeous.
So that's what we have planned. Hopefully I'll check in with pics from each event!
