1. Fresh Cuts

The boys were long over due for some fresh cuts.  Cameron has had a TERRIBLE haircut that has needed to grow out a bit. Owen's hair has been extremely long.  Yesterday I had the day off so I took them in.  They now look like they did when they were 2 & 3.  It is so sweet.  

2. Paint Night
We had another paint night/date night last night.  I don't know why we don't do this more often.  I have a feeling we are going to start doing more soon.  This week I did TERRIBLE.  Usually by then end of the evening, or even in the morning, my painting will start to grow on me.  Not this time.  It sucks.

3. No more late night wake ups
Last night Jack woke up a few times and I even woke up and gave him a bottle.  To be honest, I loved holding him and rocking him.  BUT it did remind me of those nights that I would be exhausted and it would be an every night occurrence.  So -- I am grateful that he is pretty much done with late night wake ups.  ....but yes....glad for the few moments alone with him last night.

4. Volunteering at school
Yesterday when I was volunteering at school Owen made sure to point out the girl that he likes.  This is how I know... I said, "So you like Brielle like Veda likes Owen." He quickly said, "yes."  Being there reminded me that I need to continue to actually sit and let them read.  It is so easy at night to do the reading ourselves but being in such a large class it is imperative that sit down and make sure they figure it out as well.  On the other hand, I think that they have reading in Spanish down pretty well.

5.  I started Jack's photobook
Yesterday after I volunteered at Forest Glen I sat down on the couch and worked on the photobook. First -- I HATE these damn books.  Second -- I was able to sit and watch TV.  I ate lots of pasta, drank diet coke and just sat there with no one else in the house....and I worked on the book.  It was pretty amazing.
