Hello Everyone! Sorry it's been so long! Let's see where should I start this time? As you can see from the slide show above Dwayne took Calvin and Zach to the NASCAR race while it was here in February. Zach really liked all the cars, because that's his thing. If it has wheels he's in love!We found out that Calvin is on the Dodgers this season. It seems to be a great team with lots of Dads involved. He had his first game on my birthday and did pretty good. He improves so much every year.
He's our superstar for March. He was Student of the Month! He was recognized for his academic accomplishments. His big brain sort of got us in trouble this month though. I never moved him to his new school after we moved and they sent the letter announcing his achievement to our old address and it was sent back to them saying we moved. Oops! They wanted him moved to his new school by the following week. Thankfully his teacher loves him, so she went to the principle to see if he would make an exception for him to finish out the year. He said of course, so we filled out the paper work and he gets to stay! Then, last week, he left his lunch pail on the bus and I called the transportation department to see if I could get it back and they found out he still rode the bus home (I picked him up at his old stop) and they kicked him off the bus for good! Grrrr! Oh well.
Both boys were very sick last month. Calvin had walking pneumonia and was sent home from school twice in one week. He had the OK from the doctor to go back but his cough was so bad he was tearing up and disrupting class. Zach had a bad ear infection that spread to his sinuses and down to his chest. When we went to pick up all their drugs after the doctor visit it looked like we robbed the pharmacy, we had so many bags! It was a VERY long week for us.....especially me! LOL
Zach is growing by leaps and bounds. He's talking so much and he's still so funny. He is definitely ALL BOY! Loves cars, balls and playing in the dirt. He's also a bit of a bully, we're working on that, the brat! We will start potty training him soon. I'm not looking forward to that because I don't think he'll be as easy as Calvin was. I'm crossing my fingers though.
Both boys have made a new friend in the neighborhood, the boy across the street named Connor. He's a little older but he seems to be a good kid and both the boys really like him. We live very close to Sandi and Eddie and Zach has befriended a few boys on her street as well. It is sooooo much better to live here in this neighborhood. We love living on a dead end street, it's so refreshing to let the boys go outside and not worry about them being hit by a car.
I've been seriously considering going back to school. First I thought about going to be a dental assistant. Then Lynn came to town to visit and suggested being a mammogram technician. That sounded much better to me. I've looked in to it and it's not cheap at all. They only offer a program at one school here, it's a 2 year program and it's 30,000!!!! That's a boat load of money!!! We are scheduled to go to the open house in a few weeks, so we'll see what happens.
Dwayne's mom Lynn came to visit for a few days. As usual it was a great visit full of many laughs and lots of wine! She babysat so we could go out for a night out on the town. We went to see Penn & Teller, and I had a few too many drinks! Come on now, it was my birthday! Yes, that's right, I'm another year older. Yuck! I went to bed wishing for the body I had when I was 22 and woke up in the same old droopy body that had 2 kids! Grrr! What good are birthday wishes if they don't come true!!!!????
Below is a video I made of the boys dancing. We had a dance party one night and this is made of 8 short clips strung together. It has a soundtrack to it but it may not work. I've tried posting it on different websites but as of the first of the year artists are really cracking down on copy writes. I know I emailed it to some of you it's worth another look see. I laugh everytime I play it. I hope the sound works. Click on the pause button on the music player to the right of this post to stop the music that normally plays on this page. I hope the music plays cuz it's a lot funnier to that. Watch it while it's still here cuz I'm sure google will pull it. Enjoy!
