It's been a weird week. The weather has been sunny, rainy, sunny then rainy. I'll admit that it's making me feel a little wonky. Not sad, but not happy either. It's almost like the fall blues but in the spring. Okay, enough of that. I'd really like some sunshine. And to feel all sunny inside. Is that even possible?
Princess Cranky Pants is in her last week of school. It's hard to believe that another school year has gone by and I've got a soon-to-be third grader. Where did that time go? It's been a wonderful crazy busy year. And I wouldn't change one minute of it! From Student of the Quarter to improving her grades to more ME's in Math and Science and improving her reading to match up to her grade level, it's been a wild ride that I'm glad I've been here for. She has worked so hard to get where she is and I'm very proud of her!
In gearing up for summer vacation, it means a trip to the mainland. Visiting with my parents and bringing Princess to Minnesota. I'm looking forward to traveling but I'm a bit apprehensive about traveling on a plane with Sweet'no'Lo. I've never flown with a baby that small. I flew with Princess when she was 16 months old so this will be an experience. It's an overnight flight, so I'm hoping both girls will sleep. :D
Sweet'no'Lo will be six-month-old on the 30th. WHAT?! How did that happen. Too quick, I say. She is babbling more and more and she is very close to sitting up unassisted. She loves oatmeal, bananas and sweet potatoes. She is a very good eater and loves to attempt to feed herself. It's so cute to watch. She is getting to the age where she has some separation anxiety and she'll grab for Mama. It melts my heart but at the same time it's frustrating because sometimes she only wants me for comfort. And sometimes I just need a break (which pains me to say). It's all part of parenthood.
Last weekend I went to my first Scentsy party. I have to say that I LOVE it. So many yummy smells! And cute burners! I ended up winning a plug in and a scent bar, My Wish. I'll admit it wasn't one that I would have picked out but it ended up smelling delicious! I can't wait for my order to come in! I'm also waiting on an order of fluff mail! More Kissaluvs fitted diapers, biosoakers (which will come in handy for travels) and some diaper rash ointment that is cloth diaper safe. Silly how I get excited over fluff! Although, I have to say that it is making an impact on Princess. They just had a unit on Reuse and Recycle and she was telling me that it takes 500 years (or something like that) for a disposable diaper to break down and she told the class that we cloth diaper in our family. I'm so proud that she is making that connection. I feel like I'm doing some small part in the world.
And that sums up what I've been doing for the last couple of weeks. Crazy, busy, wonderful life!
A hui hou!
