For about a month I was unable to load my blog-- or any blog because I downloaded a dumb widget that blocked them I guess. It just confirmed my fear of technology and that I shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions without Ben.
So to catch up we'll profile our inhabitants.
Anna - just turned 9 this week! She had an excellent President's Day Birthday and was spoiled most royally. Shopping and mani pedi's and she picked Tucanos for her birthday dinner. Much better than her last birthday which she spent on the couch with a broken leg. Anna is enduring the basketball season. She isn't quite aggressive or tall enough to get into the thick of it, but she's a good defender and she made a basket at her last game.
Eliza - is reading up a storm. Even as I write this, she's sounding out the words. Her kindergarten teacher loves her (who doesn't) because she's always quietly on task. She has a play date every Friday with her BF Penny. She has mastered some gymnastic tricks like wall kickovers and her beam routine.
Calvin - is quite a character. Since the Elf Incident he has not been super excited to go to school, but he's reading some words and loves mazes and puzzles and brain bending exercises. His other hobbies are playing Wii and teasing his older sisters -- Anna especially, she gives the best feedback.
Becca - is still a total cutie. She loves and has always loved sticking her arm down the front of shirts. It's like a comfort thing. Also if you hold out your hand to her she might pretend to pick up something and pretend to eat it. Of course your hand is empty, but she just does this really cute pinch and eat pantomime. She started walking a few weeks ago and is doing great with her new independence.
Ben is in the thick of his busiest time of year but we still see him 60% of the month. So that's pretty good.
I have too many projects to keep track of and complete in timely order. It's a real trial. I guess I'll just have to give up on keeping my house clean. Hey- somethings gotta give.
