I'm going to be MIA for the next little while (until the 12th to be exact)... it's reportcardwriting season again. Yay? Boooo... please remind me again why I decided to go back before September?
In other news... Ben is good (as usual)... Adam is good (as usual)... I'm stressed (also as usual). We've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. Ben's birthday celebration was last weekend at the park. Thankfully Mr. Sun got his invitation early and made an appearance. Ben had fun... eating cake (and liking it), and dandelions. Lovely. We also had a really nice visit from Grandpa Jerry, Auntie Marce and Uncle Dave. They came bearing really awesome gifts for Ben (including a plush bird house and a UMass tshirt). Ben now has Harvard, Penn and UMass. Such an academic kid already. He needs a U of T one ;-) (...the "my dad and my money go to the University of Toronto" tshirt...haha!!)
This weekend we were at an engagement party (congrats Susana + Miki) and Uncle Jesse's 30th (surprise) birthday party. (A happy birthday to Papa Rick too!). I'm exhausted. Ben did great though...so that's good. He's a social butterfly.
On Saturday, we ran into Adam's cousin, Jordan, on Queen Street... he was out promoting the play that he's in. Jordan was dressed up in a funky outfit and was carrying a rather creepy puppet. Ben was a bit apprehensive of the whole thing. When the puppet tried sharing Ben's sippy of milk, that's when he totally lost it. Tears... waving bye bye... wanting up + out of his stroller. He couldn't get to Adam fast enough. Guess puppets aren't quite his thing. I couldn't help but laugh though... it was so stinkin' cute.
I'll post some updated photos later... once I find the time. With a core class of 28 students + 5 science classes (one of which is 34 students)... I have a lot of marking to get through. Sucks.
Is it Friday yet?
