Been busy, busy! My sister, Jessica, graduated college in May, and then my cousin, Stuart, graduated from high school the week after that. So the boys and I spent a whole week up in Pojoaque with my parents, brother, and sister.
When I got back, I got a paper route. It took me about a week and a half to really get into a groove but I'm really enjoying it now. I've almost completely cut my time to 4 total hours out of the house. Except on Sundays, when the papers weigh 1 lb each and are extremely difficult to roll. The only thing I haven't learned (and am afraid to try) is how to roll and drive at the same time.
Someone asked me the other day which of my kids was the most difficult. I laughed and told her that they both are. Justin is my most difficult child in that he gets into the most mischief. He's always getting into things he's not supposed to, and swallowed a dime the other day. I still haven't seen the dime, but that doesn't mean it didn't pass. He loves to color and draw and he's very smart and observant. He talks a lot and it is fascinating to watch him express himself so much more.
Loren is my most difficult child in that he's got a very strong temperament. Loren (hubby) is out of town to New York this week and little Loren has been seriously pushing my buttons. He can count to 10 without help and can count to 20 with help. He knows all of his letters and their sounds and we're working on teaching him how to read and write. He's still addicted to Transformers and has requested a Transformers cake for his 5th birthday.
Um, not sure what else to update on right now. It's getting late and I gotta get the boys to bed before I have to put them in the car to take them on my route with me. Can't wait until Loren gets home so I can go all by myself again!
