The load of a grade 2'er.

After trying on 50,000,000 pairs of shoes on... we chose these.


"This is me in grade two baby YEAH this is me in grade two!"


"She was a skater girl she said see ya later boy!"


"Uh mom, watch the road."



So there you have it folks, I had a child, blinked, then sent her off to grade 2. Her being super pumped to start this new year helps me be happy too, and only a little sad.

Things she's pumped about:

-having a "boy teacher"

-seeing all her friends

-having our neighbor from across the street in her class this year

-gym

-getting notes in her lunches from mommy

-her new skater shoes


My son:

-is reminding us how smart he is everyday

-loves to brush his teeth at the sink all by himself

-loves to jump on ma and da's bed

-loves to color on everything (except paper) including couches, walls, doors, sister's books and various belongings, and recently, Elishah's back and Isaiah's bedding.

-is turning TWO in 22 sleeps! Am already mentally preparing and planning!


My hubby:

-has been such a rock these last few hard weeks, how did I get to be lucky?

-washed 99.9% of the dishes while we awaited a new dishwasher (I say 99.9% because I washed dishes once, and I need to make mention of it, because it sucked.)

-loves me in the good and loves me extra in the bad


Me:

-still feeling much better

-excited about new seasons

-a little nervous, but ready to let go of what I need to, to receive the new things that are coming



Miscellaneous, but equally important:

-My daughter's dad and stepmom are expecting baby #2 in April!

-My mother-in-law is coming over to plant more strawberries in my planter (so that hopefully next year I get more than 6, 3 of those don't count as Daniel stomped on and squished them)

-I was able to meet Rebekah, Kim, and Angie on Tuesday! It was such a blessing to put faces and bodies to these blogs that have blessed me so much! I forgot my stupid camera, so I'll have to wait for my sis to send me the pics....... Sarah are you reading this?
-I am sick of doing NOTHING! And am ready to get my butt back in gear! Running, strength, getting up and ready in the mornings... Let's go people!

"I don't need a man to complete my life"
"I don't need a man to complete my life"
"I'm perfect the way the I am"
"I'm perfect the way that I am"
"and I hate Charles"
"and I hate Charles"
(-Drop dead fred-)
(the latest movie quote that kept me distracted last time we did the stairs)


Coming next...

"This, is my brother Ted, his wife Melissa, and their children, Anita Dianne and Nick. Over here, my brother Tommy, his wife Anzee, and their children, Anita, Dianne and Nick. Over here, my brother George, his wife Frida, and their children, Anita, Dianne and Nick, Tacki, Sophie, Carrie, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, uh, Nikki, and I, am Gus."
