overwhelmed

I am ashamed a little at myself in one way, but in another way, there are a lot of reasons for my not posting. we have been so very busy! sorry, this is a little of complaining. BUT, on the bright side, it is THURSDAY! one more day closer to the weekend.

I "get" to take my licensing test, AGAIN. long story short, i took the wrong test because the right test was not create when I signed up and passed the general elementary test. now, i have to retake the early childhood test and I'm praying that i remember enough and can pass it the first time. UGGH!! so this is this saturday. one more saturday almost completely wasted.

then, i have my first year teacher classes so often, not to mention the homework for those. i still have things to do just for my kinder class above that!! i'm barely staying afloat here.

trevor has been so wonderful and understanding. he has been great. he always is.

craig is so fun! He's talking more and more every day! the other morning, when taking trevor to work, he saw the moon and he said moon!! i didn't even know where he learned that word! i don't think we've talked about it with him. he's picking up so many things and becoming less and less of a baby every day.

he jumped in his crib (we still haven't gotten his big boy bed yet, ugh) and it fell out from under him three times in one night. the last time, i just pulled the mattress out and put it on the floor. so two nights he has been on the floor. but last night, he woke up around 1 and started crying and walking downstairs. i called him (me still being out of it) and followed him, calling his name several times. finally i caught up to him on the landing of the stairs and carried him back up to bed. he slept the rest of the night with us. which meant i didn't sleep very well. so tonight, i need to make sure to put up a fence over his door in case he wakes up again.

off to school!

i'm still not sleeping

i was determined i should get to bed early tonight and then i just couldn't fall asleep. after lying in bed for 45 minutes, i finally just got up. normally, i fall right to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. however, i've been sleeping in since with school we had a 4 day weekend, and i keep thinking about tomorrow and i just get a little anxious about all i need to do for school and craig tomorrow. and of course trevor. o-well. i'm gunna try again.

So much fun!!

We have had a lot of fun pictures recently and I love them all! First, Craig loves playing with hats and so he had fun having him and I try on hats so I had to get pics.

Then, he is so cute when he sleeps!! tonight, he was cuddling with books again.

It is alternating between hot and cold still. Saturday it was shorts and flip flop weather in the middle of the day, but Sunday was a nice coat weather! Here are some fun bundling up weather. He loves playing outside so much, and sometimes during the day he just doesn't get enough of it. Especially when Grandpa or someone has to do something outside, he likes to be out there with them.

Luke had a competition and we went and saw the half-time show review. Craig loved it, of course! he was singing and clapping along. but beforehand, he drank his chocolate milk.

Then, on Sunday, my mom had a lot of us over for dinner and after dinner, we all went outside and were jumping and swinging! I had to grab my camera and get pics of the fun cousin times! i LOVE taking pictures and went a little overboard, but o-well. :D

At one point, Craig and Matthew were both on a two person seesaw type of swing and Trevor was pushing them. Matthew told Trevor to slow down, so he did. As soon as Trevor slowed them down, Craig says "GO, GO!" they are so funny! i love that they play together really well. Matthew, Craig and Sara were jumping a lot. Craig did pretty good with them, but if both Sara and Matthew were jumping, he had a hard time staying up. but they were so patient and helpful!
