One more down 5 to go

Tonight I finished my research paper for this Mod and I am done with all of the homework for this class so I just have 2 more days in class and it is done. After this mod is done I have 5 more to go and only 4 of them are medical classes. I can't wait until I am done it seems like I have been going to school for a such a long time. I think the kids are just as ready as I am for me to be done with school. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out with this crazy adventure and I hope that you know what it means to me.

Having some fun

Well this last weekend was pretty fun and spontaneous. We decided to take the kids to build a bear because they have never been there. They each got an animal and they were able to wash them and then get birth certificates for them. Caelum got a very hairy do and he named him Ruffy. Tavin got a black bear and he named him Beary. Jessery got a dog with spots and named her Puffer. We decided to spend the night up there Saturday night so we stayed at the Shilo Inn. The kids have never been to a hotel before so they thought it was so awesome. Caelum loves kindergarten and I am really amazed at how much he has learned since he started. His teacher is sending home books for him to read and pass off to her and she said at the rate he is going he should be reading chapter books by the end of the school year. He also got tested at the beginning of the year to see where he was and they estimated bench marks that they want the kids to improve to before the end of the year. Well with 9 weeks left of school he has already passed his benchmark by double on most and triple on the rest. I was surprised and very pleased that he has improved this much. Tavin is working on his name right now and he knows how to spell it and he knows how to write his T and a and almost has the rest of it down. We will be doing an at home preschool for him when Caelum starts 1st grade this fall so that he can learn everything he needs to know before he goes to kindergarten in 2012. Jessery loves reading and trying to do everything her brothers do like drawing and running, We are probably going to try to get her to so some preschool stuff this fall along with Tavin so that she has something to do because she wants to stay busy. Tomorrow morning we are going to sign up for Planet fitness so that Steve and I can get healthier. I am going to be going at 5:30am every morning with my friend so that we both can encourage each other to lose the weight that we want and need to. Steve will be going with a friend from work possibly after they get off of work because that is what will work best for them. I can't wait to hop on those treadmills and get jogging. I really do love to run but I am so out of condition that I haven't been able to for a long time.

Home full of sickies

Well it is official I think we are all sick. I wish that there was some sort of a Mommy is sick nanny so that when mommy is sick someone can come in and take care of the kids and the Mommy and Daddy. Jessery has RSV and I think that we might have the RSV virus and so that really sucks. I was going to go and go wedding dress shopping for my older sister with all of my other sisters and my Mom but I decided to stay home so that I wouldn't get anyone else sick which is a bummer for me but I am pretty sure everyone else was glad that I didn't spread the illness. I hope that we can get better soon because I am sick of being cooped up in the house all day with only minor breaks. I love the snow, but I want the summer so bad right now.
