Lately

One minute it's January and the next it's March. How did that happen?

We've had a pretty uneventful few weeks lately. The boys have been healthy, which is always nice in the winter. Garrett had a stomach bug last week and Cooper has had a cold but other than that we've been well. They stay busy going to school 2 days a week along with church on Sundays and Wednesdays and occasionally going to the library for Story Hour.

Keith has been staying really busy with work. This is his very busy time of year, though he stays pretty busy year-round. He works at least 12 hours a day, 5 days a week right now. He's also been traveling some lately, but hopefully that will end soon.

I'm staying busy with my part time job at our church and just trying to keep on top of keeping the house (relatively) clean and everything else being a SAHM entails, like being a mom. (I apparently am trying to see how many times I can write the word "busy" in one blog post...)

In a couple of weeks, we will have kindergarten registration to attend. I'm alternately excited and scared. You can't help but be scared when it seems as if every other night, the local news is talking about bullying in schools. Not to mention the budget crunch that Texas schools are facing. I really hope that won't have a major impact on his school district, but it seems as if it's affecting everyone right now.

I have a few blog post ideas that I will hopefully be motivated to post soon. My apologies, yet again, for how infrequent I've been posting lately. I feel like I'm walking a line as to what I should and should not post as far as Garrett is concerned. He's getting old enough to care about what I would share about him in a public forum so I want to be respectful of him and what he may read about himself one day. However, I won't be able to keep myself from posting the funny things he says. He really does keep me laughing!

Just today he decided that he and Cooper needed to be dressed up as super heroes. So Garrett put on his Batman suit and then asked me to tie a blanket around Cooper to be a cape (though he has a Superman cape, but he didn't want to use it for some reason.) The blanket I tied around Cooper has cats on it, so I said Cooper was Catman and Garrett was Batman. But Garrett said "No, he's Superman who fights bad guys with cats." For some reason that just gave me this mental image of Superman running around with a cat in his hand and I could not stop laughing. Garrett didn't appreciate it at first because he thought I was laughing at him (and he hates the thought of being laughed at). But I managed to explain that wasn't the case so then he wouldn't stop talking about Superman and his cats because he thought it was the punchline to a joke.
