Hello, is anybody out there?

If you are and are interested in the goings on of the family then I apologize! It has been a very busy couple of months with the odds and ends of girl scouts, and school stuff. No earth shattering mothering moments or anything to report so we are just plugging along. I have been busy doing some cakes for pay the last couple of weeks and Leslie has been a big help with tinting fondant and even made me a mothers day cake all by herself!

The boys are busy learning to get along these days and are working on it constantly! We are working on using the English language, instead of screaming and fist throwing (just to phrase things in a positive manner). LOL. It is amazing how many times I can say "use your words instead of yelling" in a single day! Of course the moments of them laughing and playing together so well can melt away all of that in an instant.

Leslie has been reading like crazy the last few months and it is amazing how many books she has read. I should ask her to keep a list of all of them, it would be neat to look back at all she has read, and helpful when meeting with the teachers at the school! She has been very independent with her school work this year and I am really proud of how she can be self motivated to get the work done. I feel like this has been one of her most productive school years yet!

We are now looking forward to some really fun stuff coming up in the next few weeks and I will try and get back to share all the fun soon!
