Spring Has Sprung

Today is the first day of Spring, and I feel great! I started a diet (again) three weeks ago, and I've lost 5lbs so far. Not bad, considering the kids and I have all taken turns being sick for the last few weeks. We all seem to be feeling better now, so fingers crossed that I can fit in some exercise.

Today was also the last day of school for #1 and #2- they're on Spring break for the next 3 weeks. We have homework over the break though. #1 has an assigned report, plus math practice. #2 has some areas on his recent progress report that he is seriously falling behind on. He has difficulty focusing sometimes (what 1st grader doesn't, right?) and has missed some stuff that we have to catch up on. Plus, I want to take some day trips to the zoo, and the aquarium. My plan is to keep everyone really busy this break, so nobody can get on anybody's nerves!

We just celebrated #2's birthday, but the photos are still in the camera. I'll try to upload them tomorrow and get them posted. I can't believe he's 7 already. When I look at the pictures of him from when he first came to live with us, it's hard to believe he was that little, quiet toddler. He's far from quiet now!
