January 1st-9th

After the first nine days of January,

I am finally getting back into a homeschooling groove...

Highlights from this "week" include:

*My 36th birthday-

I am a New Year's Baby!

My kiddos made me waffle for breakfast,

but other than that,

I just spent to day not doing much,

except craftin' and pinning and watching TV...

Ahhhhhhhh.....

I was R-E-A-L-L-Y lazy the first 

few days of the new year.

I revealed in lounging in my PJ's,

letting the laundry pile up,

and eating junk.

BUT.

Laziness cannot last forever,

and, frankly,

I was getting sick of it.

Therefore...

*We put up Christmas decor,

started the laundry,

and started school back up.

*Smiley B, Mad Max, and Girlie V

all started coming back 

for childcare this week.

It turns out that

while they were away,

Mad Max 

(age 10 months)

cut his first tooth

AND 

took his first steps!

Man,

I forgot how much a baby can learn

in the short span of two weeks...

*I have been recently 

"hired"

to watch a couple more kiddos

2 and a half days a week.

"The Fantastic Five"

could now refer to the

5 little tots

(ages 7 months, 10 months, 2, 3, and 3)

I will be watching

during the week.

I do not watch any of them

"full time,"

so it really works out well

for our homeschooling schedule,

and these extra kiddos

are certainly a bump in our income.

*The girls are now

signed up for dance classes again.

We took a "break" last semester

for financial reasons,

so we are glad to be starting 

back up again.

*Super Dad and I have gotten back on track

to being a healthier "us"

in 

2013.

I am already feeling better

since cutting back on the 

carb and sugar fest extravaganza 

we experienced

during 2012.

Also,

we have begun the 

T-Tapp

instructional DVD. 

D-U-D-E-

it is awesomely challenging,

and yet

easy to fit in to our day.

I will be interested to see what results

we can achieve 

after a month or so 

using it...

Here's to a healthier

us

in the

New Year!
