Spring, summer, whatever!

Spring has sprung in a big way around here, or maybe it's summer. I don't know. I think a few weeks ago it was in the 60's. I took the boys to the park yesterday for a play date and lunch and it was 90. And so goes the spring in So. Cal. Anyway, all this warm weather has really gotten us out and enjoying life. We've been spending tons of time riding tricycles (not me personally) around the neighborhood, playing at the park, playing on my college campus (Easter Sunday), visiting the farmer's market, and so on and so on.

My brother and his bride-to-be (Jessi) were here about a week and a half ago. I threw her a "family" shower and we had a great weekend. We won't see them again until days before the wedding. I can't believe how close we are to June.

I am currently on "half" a spring break. Since I am taking classes withing two different college districts, of course, the spring breaks ended up on different weeks. It is actually fine. I am getting a little catch up time, which is great.

I made a big decision last weekend and decided NOT to start my nursing program in August. I am having my application "held" and will reactivate it for the May 2009 term. I just need a little more time with "the baby" and with the big boys in their first year of "real" school before I make this leap. I think the revised timing will be better for all of us. The nicest thing is that because I am taking 17 units now and will take one class at UCLA this summer, my time between the end of August and May will be completely free. I am really excited about that and looking forward to lots of new adventures with Carter while J and C are in school!

That's about it for now. For those watching for it, we have yet to see Jadon's commercial which was slated to start running at the end of this month (on PBS- Sprout). If I see it, I will try to get a link to it and get it up here on the blog.

Why?

No, this isn't one of those philosophical questions which I want you to ponder and respond with a 500 word essay on. This is my ONE year olds new favorite phrase. Jadon and Cole never went through a "why" phase. Most kids go through it at about three, I think. Now Arnie and I find ourselves justifying our actions and statements to a 21 month old child. Why?

Blogger is so funny!

So I started a post weeks ago with the boys pictures from the jobs they had done, but the pictures wouldn't upload so the email got saved in a draft file. Well, on this site if you do that, the post retains the date that you started writing it...SO see Feb. 9th for out latest update! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Oh, and like Feb. 9th, I once again am off to school today for 7 hours. Fun!
