We do still exist!

Whew!  Life is busy with kids and a military man husband!

Plus the weather has been beautiful so we have spent lots of time outside (thus leaving the blog neglected!)





Finished a puzzle as big as he is... all by himself!
This was a Christmas Present from G'ma and G'pa



Celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday

Went to the science fair to watch Shawn

He got to present to the Principal

Went to the Jazz Festival -

Chris had a solo, in 2 of the 3 songs they played

"Mom, Can you take a picture of us,  pweeze?"

Took Pictures of his shadow - Love me some eyelashes!

Love his little lips - smiling!

Exhaustion.... and this was after a 2 hour nap in his bed....
He woke up long enough to walk out to the kitchen, cry for about 10 minutes and then
lay down at the sliding door to sleep some more.

I am tired too!

So Proud!!!

So -

Last weekend, I began a new adventure....

Solo Parenting

Chad began working the weekend shift (Friday - Monday) last weekend so I in turn became a solo parent.  Not single parent b/c we are still very much married it's just that he is not AS available as he used to be on the weekends.

Lo & Behold...

Shawn comes home with a HUGE project to do ... by March 5th... last weekend!

We got off to a GREAT Rough start (he and I didn't have the same "experiment" in mind)

We worked all last Sunday on the project by completing the experiment and taking data. 

Then today.... We put the project together!

Shawn did a great, no... super... no.... FABULOUS job! 

Here is the final product -  

Now we are off to enter it into the Science Fair at school on Tuesday!

So Proud of You SHAWN...

(Lesson in Parenting.... Weekends.... yeah - they no longer belong to you when you have kids!  Especially ones that are in school!)
