So me and the boys are still trying to get used to Tom's new schedule. I pick him up at the airport tomorrow night : ). He was gone for a week, came home for a day and a half, then left for another week and a half! I must say I am not too found of taking the trash and the recyclables out by myself, or plunging the over flowing toilet that Brandon decided to fill with waaaaay too much toilet paper! Although those chores are not the funnest, we're surviving just fine. At least I have the boys and the animals ; ) to keep me company (and busy!) school, both mine and Brandon's also does a good job of that. The only difficult thing with an accelerated online school is that you do not have any days off for most holidays. I'm trying to get a little ahead so that I won't have to worry about it for at least the day before Thanksgiving, while we're in the car, and Thanksgiving itself. Brandon's school, however, is a different story! I had a Parent/Teacher conference with his teacher, Mrs. Mc Cain, and she gave me a whole lot of homework! Brandon still needs to catch up a bit, so that means a lot of sit down time with Mommy. The good thing though, Brandon really enjoys this time, even if it means working hard : ).
So, this town is not getting anymore exciting, but we are trying to make the best of it. Westin and I go to a toddler sing/dance play group on Wed. and a simple arts/crafts group on Thurs. and he has a lot of fun! I also just heard about a story group they do for little ones at the library every Tues., so Wes and I are going to be busy little bees! And Wes is talking up a storm now! He loves to mimic brother so he says things like cool : ). He also says please, thank you, base ball, all the basic words. He also loves to yell.... "Peka!!" It's quite humorous! But my favorite is his version of I love you..."I yuv dee." It makes my heart melt every time!! One great thing about this base is that there are tons and tons of parks here! So, Wes also quickly learned the word park. All of them are within a decent walking distance as well, and Bamma got the boys a really cute wagon with built in seats and a sun shade, so we've had plenty of fun trips to the park in their wagon.
Well, I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving, and I will do my best to get a camera (and keep it away from Wes) so that the next blog will have some fun pictures!
