No I didn't forget..

Ok lets be honest I guess I sorta did forget but hey life happens! So since we last ended our tale....
Andy has adjusted to Pre-school (thank the lord) and now we get to traverse the oh so rocky path of him becoming a "non-napper" *collective scream* yes, it's harder than one thinks! he's been at it for two weeks and like any addict is still having withdrawls. He'll have the occasional shaking fit where he's screaming "why, why why" and "just let me sleep" or maybe thats just how I am interpreting his screaming fits....
Joey is loving first grade. He loves having 2 extra recesses and buying hot lunch in the cafeteria. Paul's child through and through. He made it through his second year of soccer and learned some new skills and lots of patience. He is the reigning wall ball champ in the house and dares anyone to try and beat him. He likes to brag how he has major skills but I think it is more proximity to the ground and general agile-ness that is his real secret weapon!
Haley is loving 6th grade and we love her teacher. He for all he is worth is teaching the kids organization...which of course they do fantastic at school but not so much at home. She had a friend from school (who's mom is a friend of mine) move in right next door. That has been awesome although we have seen a significant rise in sleepovers both here and there usually with no less than three girls at a time...good think we keep Vodka and red wine on hand at all times!
Paul changed positions at work and is loving being the support person for the sales team (a.k.a the dark side). It's very challenging and lately has been given more responsibility...*cough* Don't blow it....we had a great x-mas. He and I got to take a week off after christmas to just hang..which is all we did because Paul was sick the entire time...but it gave me time to read 4 books and play on the computer alot..my farm has never looked so good :0)
I have been working, working, working. I love my job and the people I work with. I also have been given extra things to do and love being so busy that the days fly by. I have also been having semi-regular girls nights with the aforementioned neighbor and another mom friend. We all have girls the same age and it is nice to know I'm not the only one who loses my mind when my daughter tries to go out in 30 degree weather in a tank top! UGH stupid trend...I am slowly coming to grips that I will be 30 this year..and seriously toying with the idea of a tattoo to commemorate the occasion...I have a little time to decide.

That is the news for now..I will really try and get on here more often than once every six months I swear!!
