A Pool Party

Today we went to Amber's pool party!

We started off the day by going to Barnes and Noble for a National reading of Eric Carle's "The Hungary Caterpillar". Basically they played the audio version read by the author on C.D. and the kids got to follow along with the book. When they were done the kids got to do arts and crafts. It was Fun and we got some new books too.

After that was done we went to the pool party!
Lots of swimming. Lots of good food. Lots of hanging out with awesome friends.

June 18th 2009, My munchkin was only 8 weeks 3 days old. This is the first time he was in a pool. It also happens to be the first day that he gave me a "real" smile.

My little Rock Star!


Around here we like music. At almost any point in the day there is some type of music playing. We like a little bit of everything, but the majority of what is listened to is rock, metal, things with awesome guitar riffs. And apparently drum sounds. Because I have got a drummer in the making!!

Tomorrow we are going to Barnes and Noble for a "National" reading of "The Hungary Caterpillar" with Tammy and Rosaleigh, and then afterwards we are going to a pool party at Amber's!! Should be lots of fun.

How is it two weeks into March already?!

Wow.
I always thought that I was busy before, but this is C.R.A.Z.Y.

I am taking 4 classes this semester. Two of them are reading and writing intensive (Pyschology and The Developing Person). It does not help that both subjects are very dry to me so I literally start to fall asleep reading the material. But I am doing good in the classes.

I am loving my Anatomy and Physiology class. It is so neat to see how we are put together and how our bodies work and function together. The class is broken into two classes and this semester I am learning The integumentary system, skeletal and muscular system and the nervous system. I think I am most excited for BIO202 where we learn all the other systems.

Math class is moving along. I am learning a lot in this math class that was taught to us in our previous math class. I am really hoping to pass this class with a C grade, because if I do I am done with math! Yay!

I am looking forward to the end of this semester, not just for the break that we will get but because it means that next semester I only have two more classes to take until I apply for the Nursing program! I cannot wait! Taking two classes is going to be so nice! The only downer is that it is a two year wait to get into the nursing program, so I'll have to work on support courses inbetween.

Cain is getting so big. I cannot believe that my baby will be two in two short months. Where does the time go? As I got older I noticed that time really does fly, but I think having a kid really does put an emphasis on that. I mean, I just had Cain yesterday right? And now he's TWO? Two whole years? Again, C.R.A.Z.Y.
He is starting to talk more and more. He says some words really well like: Hi, Bye, Choochoo, shoe dad, fish, ball and shit. yes, my son has picked up a curse word. It's my fault really, as I use that word all the time. When I drop something, trip, hurt myself, mess something up (I am not very coordinated most of the time). I am trying to be more mindful of what I say, but it is hard. Which is weird cause I can go to work and turn it off no problem (I work in childcare). He is good at imitating animal noises, he loves to climb and he loves animals and other children. I wish I could take him to work with me. If he could be there more often he would love to have kids to play with.

I have been trying to get in some exercise too. I think that my weight may be causing heel issues (my heels hurt all the time) so I am trying to lose some weight. We have netflix so I have been trying out some of the work outs you can stream online. I like the ten minute pilates one. It is 5 different ten minute pilates work outs that target different areas. It is so hard to do them when Cain is awake though. He thinks it is a game and climbs all over me. It is so not easy trying to do pilates with a 30 pound almost two year old on you.

Homework Time! My munchkin is napping, and when you take online classes you don't get the luxury of a week off, so I am going to put up some pics, and do some homework.
