Speaking of the kids, they are definitely keeping me busy. Hannah is in girl scouts and soccer which means a lot of running around for her. She is about to finish kindergarten, and she is ready for first grade. We are still waiting for the gifted program testing to see where she will be placed for first grade. She lost her first tooth last month. She had been waiting to lose a tooth since the second day of kindergarten.
She also learned how to ride her bike without training wheels and how to tie her shoes. I can't take credit for those because E tackled those after he came home.
Meeghan is the same old Meeghan. She is still a quiet mouse at school and a nonstop talker at home. She is still pretty tiny, but the terrible threes have hit. Many meltdowns and power struggles lately.
I haven't been doing much lately. Basically I try to survive the days without eating all the chocolate in the house. Hopefully I will have a review of the Disney Star Wars Dark Side Half coming soon. Oh, I also registered for the Goofy Challenge at Disney in January. I will run the half on Saturday and then the full on Sunday. I told myself no more marathons after Marine Corps, and E said no more marathons period. Somehow we talked each other into, and now we are both running it.
The last big thing is we bought an RV. We went to look one afternoon, and somehow we walked out of there the owners of one. We have wanted one for years, but financially it was never a good decision. Now that we are more stable, we decided to look again. I never thought we would buy one this quickly. It is a little travel trailer. It isn't huge. Our minivan can't pull anything too large, but I think it is a good start. If we like it, we may upgrade in a few years.

Yay for running the Goofy Challenge! Super excited for you guys. :)
ReplyDeleteI am terrified and excited at the same time! :)
DeleteThe RV looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun. It will come in handy next time we have to move.
DeleteWhy do kids want to lose their teeth so badly when they go to school? I remember wanting my teeth to fall out when I was in grade school.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine once told me, "If you can survive age 3 you are rewarded with age 4." I'm not sure how true that actually rings (we have dealt with some pretty epic tantrums and meltdowns lately), but hang in there.
The Goofy!! I've been dreaming of doing that challenge for years! I cannot wait to hear how it goes for you.
Lastly - that RV! So, so jealous. Scott and I are looking into renting an RV at the end of summer so we can road trip to Utah. You're going to have some awesome adventures with that thing!
