Catching up..

So Christmas is over, New Years is over, hubby's vacay is over.... is it too late to say bah-humbug? We had a great, relaxing christmas. We got to see some family we haven't seen in forever. That was nice, except all the kids, i remembered as kids, somehow grew up and had kids? That can't be, because that would mean i'm really old.. :)
The kids had a great Christmas. Monkey got his airsoft gun, a bb-like gun that shoots little plastic balls. Not metal bb's. He thinks he's the coolest kid ever. He even got to have his friend sleep over, and he brought his too. So they were playing in the back yard, rolling around being Rambo. IT was quite funny. :) Safety goggles were worn by all!
Midget got her Calico Critter trailer, cutbacks and all, Santa couldn't do the mansion. Besides i hear they like to be mobile. Hubby went with her to ballet class several times, and she loved that. He got so into it with her, he talked to the teacher and they added a day, so now she's up to 2 times a week... and wait for it... The angels are making that "AAAAHHHH" sound, her teacher said if she keeps up the hard work.... (it's every little girls dream), she can MAYBE get her toe shoes next fall. That little girl was giddy... So her dad built her her very own ballet bar to practice with. He even went and priced toe shoes. Not sure why he thought they were so pricey, but it was funny :)
We also made some decisions on my future, i'm about a year away of my degree, so we went to the school and talked to the advisor. I am now the world's oldest college student :) Even scarier is i have enrolled in an online class, one of them wasn't offered at a time i could do, so since it's a tech class, it's offered lots online. Not sure how that will work?! I've got two on campus. Monkey just wants me to finish before he starts :) Seeing how much it is, i think we better get in shape so our organs are worth selling, because i don't know how we are affording two in college! Especially with their choices. It's coincidentally college week at monkey's school this coming week. So what are my sweet boys choices.... not Texas A and M, or University of Texas, where i can just grab the shirts at target or wal mart. No, my boy chooses MIT and The Naval Academy... I love that he dreams big. :) I hate that i found out at the last minute and had to order online. But, who can't support those dreams, and he researched them and all. He's going to be a nvay seal, join the CIA get kidnapped, not harmed, and write a novel about it. :) Oddly enough, with that boy, i can see it!
Midget makes my life easy, she likes Texas A&M. She's going to live in a mansion and build a nature reserve to provide a home for the animals she is going to rescue. I so <3 her.
