Life is Fine in 2009!!!

We are doing great so far this year. I know, I know we are only 10 days in but it has been a pretty good 10 days!

Scott has been working really hard. I know that you are all shocked by that :-). But he is working on our bathroom and trying hard to get it done. So at least he is not only working hard @ work. He joined a bunch of people at work who are competing in a weight loss competition. As of January 1st he has already lost 6 pounds. Go Scott!!! We are all rooting for him!!! We now own a spin cycle so that should help him in his efforts!

James is back to school as of the 5th. I am not sure how excited he is about that but I know he is partly glad to not be at home 24 hours a day! :-) He is busy doing homework Monday through Friday, trying to earn time on the Wii. Right now we are reading "The Tale of Despereaux". James kept seeing the ad for the movie and we made a deal, if he reads the book with me I will take him to the movie. Carter is in on that deal too. We are almost done with the book so they are pretty excited!

Carter is busy with preschool. It's good for him to have something that he doesn't have to share with James or Loreli. He loves the Wii too and kicks all of our butts boxing! James always proclaims "Good job Carter, now lets play something else." James doesn't like losing. Too bad! ;-)

Loreli. Well what can I say more than that. Anyone who knows her knows that her name means "mischief" or "one who gets into everything one is not supposed to" or "Princess get's whatever she demands" or something like that. Is that how it's supposed to go? I didn't think so but Loreli explained the truth to me :-)! Hey at least she is happy, right?

I am busy being mom. I am just plain busy with trying to keep or get or sonthing my house in order (good luck to me!) I can't seem to get my children on board with that concept. I will not give up. I am Woman!!! (haha! another funny!) Besides the everyday stuff, I am working on yet another crochet project, reading as many books as I can, and playing Wii fit. It is kicking my butt, but that is the point right! I joined the masses on Facebook this weekend. I found a few long lost friends from high school. That was kind of fun!

That is our life at this moment. It may not be exciting to some, but the fact that it is mellow and happy is the excitment for us!!! If only everyone could be so lucky!!!
