January was a busy month for us. Grandpa and grandma arrive just in time to complete lots of projects in the house :-). My dad got busy and made me shelves in my garage, and a workbench. The running joke was "the list". If we did something, anything at all, it went on the list. So we could cross it off of course! Our list got quite big by the end, and we had lots of things crossed off!
The boys celebrated their birthdays at the karate school this year. It was a great birthday party with 12 kids that had loads of energy! I think that was the best $200 I have ever spent on a birthday party! The Bakers at the karate school ran those kids Ragged! They play dodgeball, did karate moves, popped balloons, ran around, they were busy and wore out in the end! :-) in the end, the birthday party was a major success!
Grandma was lucky to celebrate her birthday with us once again this year. We took her out to Phillies, for some broasted wings and good beer! The Casterton clan joined us. Minus Ryan of course. He stayed home to watch the boys.
I guess that leads us to February... This is where you say squirrel!! Did I mention that in January I started back at school and a new job? Well I did. I started working for Lutheran social services working at their place spots. It isn't the greatest job, but it's a job. Okay now we're in February. LOL
The first weekend in February the boys went with their dad to do a spartan race. They both did really great and had loads of fun. Then came the inevitable Valentine's Day. Which of course I personally dislike the holiday. So on Valentine's Day we woke up, and I put the boys to work! We were running around cleaning the house, organizing the house and getting ready to have a good afternoon. When my phone rang. It was Robert. Yes yes I know a lot of you were like what Robert you still talk to him? After he broke your heart? Well the answer to all of it is yes. We are very good friends in fact. So anyways, he invited me and the boys over for the day. Of course my kids are ecstatic! Me on the other hand is a little nervous because I'm always worried about what type of behavior they are going to have. So we headed out 76 miles later we landed in surprise. What was going to be a day trip, turned into a night, then turned into another night. We didn't end up leaving until Monday at 6 pm. Clearly we had a good time!
We had some fun safety too..
Robert really is a great guy. And I'm glad that he cares for me and my boys. Also for a man who supposedly doesn't have those feelings for me he sure did treat me nicer Valentine's Day! I got to Kashmir scarf from Afghanistan, and a subscription to ancestry.com world edition for six months! Lol
I guess that kind of brings us to this week. We did this...
Doesn't he look thrilled! Lol
Then headed over to cook the dosed family dinner. I got a little more than I bargained for! But I guess my friend Maria would be happy. I am now addicted to T 25. We celebrated as you can see!
Now prepping to finish my week. Jacob has a counseling appointment today and then I am kid free until Sunday. What's a mom to do with yourself? Well that's easy! Homework, homework, clean, laundry the list goes on and on!!
Oh and happy Ash Wednesday...
Until next time.
