summer update

I've written two blog posts between this one and the last but they were lame-o so they were discarded.

So as an update, here's my summer so far.

I went swimming twice so far. It just won't stop raining long enough to thoroughly enjoy the pool. The boys will have swim lessons soon though so there will be a lot of morning pool time with that. And I may just head up to Cape Cod to visit my aunt who is recovering from back surgery but that's still up in the air.

I haven't read a lick. I haven't really worked on any of my favorite hobbies lately. It has everything to do with being tired and lazy. It's a whole lot easier to just lay down and watch a couple episodes of Buffy before I go to sleep (that and the second season expires from Hulu on July 1, so I have to finish watching those episodes before then...they are some of the best of the show really where Angel goes all bad). I do still have a nice pile of books that will be going with me should I go to Cape Cod.

I helped out and attending a friend's wedding. It was fun. Next up is the Fourth of July. I have a lot to get done around the house before then. I'm hoping that party is a success. It will be nice to have the house organized and clean for at least a couple of hours.

Monkey is pretty much successfully potty trained. We are still working on the whining. I'm hoping it's a phase and the whining will at least happen a little less often. His attitude has gotten a lot better the closer he gets to age four and I'm fairly confident he will be a much happier kid (and quieter) once he gets his tonsils and adnoids removed and new ear tubes put in. A lot of his temperments are directly related to how he is feeling health wise.

Bug is still pretty much the cutest kid on earth. He's started acting up a little and he's been in time out now a few times, but he is cute even sitting in time out! haha. He spends a lot of his time at home lining up cars. There are lines of matchbox cars all over the place. He still likes to dance all the time and I can almost always distract him with a song or a dance or an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. If I ask him if he wants to watch a show, he expects Yo Gabba Gabba to come on. The plus side is, he'll sit on the couch and watch the whole thing most of the time so I know it's a good distraction. He is also starting to say more things, most importantly "Zizi." :)
