Field Trip

On Friday, I got to help chaperone Houghton's 4th grade field trip to the AZ-Sonora Desert Museum. I am glad I finally was on the ball about something!!! There was a waiting list....can you believe it?? (and they need 5 per class!!) So, I am proud to finally get to something first!
We had a great time and it was way better than I expected.

Houghton has the State swim meet coming up next weekend. He has qualified for 4 events! He gets to miss school on Friday too! I am so proud of him. He seems genuinely excited but also nonchalant. He sees it as no big deal. I suppose that's good. He is also going to be moving into the next training group after the spring break. He'll be swimming 1&1/2 hours and 4-5 days a week. He's ready for it, he doesn't get worn out like he used to :)

Mary is enjoying her time at preschool. She got to go on her first field trip last Thursday to the Firestation. No chaperones were needed :( (Paul wanted to go on that one) I can imagine how cute all 15 4-5 year olds were! Mary did demonstrate the "stop, drop & roll"
She also has an appointment coming up with the ENT, hopefully we can get some answers to the constant stuffy and sinus infections she has.

Simon is CRAWLING!! Our house will never be the same! He is adorable, no more injured soldier army crawl. He's also pulling up on any and everything. Our house is in chaos from having to chase around him and pick up stuff he shouldn't get into (or that we should have put away!) He is really such a good baby and is always smiling :) He's usually in such good spirits, we forget he needs his naps!!

A quick update. I am usually not on the computer much and with my crazy work schedule, I am off to bed...yup at 8:15pm (late, even) so that I can be up at 3:15am!!!

Night!!
