Bragging Rights

So lemme just take a moment to tell you about my amazing niece and nephew! Seriously, I know everyone says stuff like their kids are the greatest, but I truly believe that not many can top mine.

So lets start with Brant. He is AMAZING! He just turned 5 in December, and the other night he called me up to read an entire book to me! I am so proud of him. OK so, yea, it wasn't War and Peace. However, I am super proud of him! Not to mention he is the best darn soccer player ever! Seriously, the parents of the opponents would complain until the coach started pulling him during the game. Poor Brant, don't blame him for his unnatural athletic abilities!

Now Brylee, check her out, she is too cute! She will be two later this month, and she is COMPLETELY potty trained! I was so surprised when she woke up at 2 A.M. to wake Mommy cause she needed to tee tee in the potty. She is so funny! I love her attitude, she is soooo sassy!

Anyway, I know that some of you are like, those aren't amazing accomplishments. Well I know they are! :)

Ta-da!

So I finally got bored with the other background.  The truth, I was bored with it a long time ago, but laziness/ procrastination forced me to press on with the look. Maybe this is an improvement, maybe not.

I am wishing away school.  The faster the better. I'm down to 15 more weeks of school.  Now there aren't actually the correct number of days, but I don't feel like getting that technically when there's still so much time left.

The kids have gotten me sick again.  I am miserable. Hopefully, my immune system will toughen up for next year! I don't want to get sick like this again- or as often!

I think third grade is kicking my butt. I honestly don't want to think about it, but I have to at times.  Maybe I should have taken the middle school position I was offered.  But I can keep with the 'what-ifs,' in fact they will drive me crazy!

So I am keeping myself busy with crafts for my niece.  Her birthday is coming up, and I think she and my sister will be pleasantly surprised.  I have even convinced several teachers at school that they need to pay me to make similar items for their daughters! I never considered myself an artist, never considered myself artistic in any form, but apparently I have some ability or I wouldn't be able to create funky stuff for Brylee.  I don't want to go into too much detail right now.  Mainly because my sister reads this, and I want it to be a surprise! So we are just going to have to wait like the rest of them.  By the way, her birthday is Feb 21.

I am also planning several trips to keep myself occupied! I am going on a trip during Spring Break, not sure where yet though. And I am going to Disney World this summer! I am very excited about both! Oh and any ideas for the Spring Break trip would be welcomed!
