Natalie is doing great at school. She's getting past the point where reading is a chore and seems to be enjoying it more. She's really enjoying the snow we've gotten recently. She LOVES snow! She's quite the little outdoors person. She doesn't seem to mind when its super hot or super cold....guess she got that trait from Daddy cause I sure am an indoor kinda gal! Natalie is also excited about Valentine's day. She's already got plans to make V-day cookies using the cookie cutters Mema and Papa gave her for Christmas. I never really know what to do for v-day cause they both want to get a box of v-day cards at the store, but since we don't have a whole class of kids to give them to then we just have 80 trillion cards floating about the house for the next month. Oh well, at least they're cheap! : )
Mason....well....he's Mason. Still working on the whole potty training thing, but now that I think of it he's only had a couple accidents since I've been back from the hospital which is a marked improvement. He's been interested lately in learning letter sounds, so we've been working on that. We were watching coverage of the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction the other day and he asked what the car that was on the tv just then was. It happened to be a 68 Camaro, which I told him. Then he walked around talking about 68 Camaro this and that for quite awhile. There's something funny about a 3 year old talking about classic cars. Also he's been taking apart the booster seat with his screw driver. I saw him doing it the other day, but I thought he was putting it back together....turns out his was taking it apart. So Andy put the arm back on the chair and then a few hours later it was back on the floor with the screwdriver sitting next to it. So Mason put it back together that time and now he's left it. He's a funny guy.
Andy semi recently acquired a new (to him) truck to tinker with since the frame on his brown truck is nearly rusted through. So he's been spending some spare time playing with that. I'm never quite sure what he's up to with that cause I don't speak car-ese, but I try to listen and pick up some info along the way.
And then there's me....what am I doing....it seems like I'm awfully busy but its with boring mom stuff like a zillion appointments and and household chores and paying bills...nothing too exciting. Lydia and I recently started a workout plan(ish) together. It's not much of a plan, but she and I are trying to work out on our own throughout the week and then together once a week with a weigh in. The thinking being that if we do it together maybe we'll each have more success.
So that's it in a nutshell.
