I'm finally starting to feel normal again. And I actually have a voice - ok, not much of one, but I can now talk again! Its been quiet around here the last few days since I couldn't talk :)

Not much to talk about tonight. The circus is in town and it looks like we'll be going on Sunday. Should be good.... I just don't know what to expect. Jason went out on Wednesday night to get some nighttime shots of the bigtop, as it had just been set up. As he was taking the pictures, someone came up to him and asked him what he was doing. Jason explained what he does and why he does it, and the guy asked if he wouldn't prefer to take shots at the show. When Jason said that we weren't planning on going to the show, the guy told Jason to bring the family and show up at the ticket booth and we'd be his guests for day! I'm excited, but a little apprehensive... what if he makes us part of the show?!? "Here's the clowns" or "Weirdest family on earth display"! You just never know. So once again, I should have more pictures to post next week.

Chris is really starting to come along with his words. This morning he woke up really early, so I brought him into bed with me hoping that he would fall back asleep. He put my hand on his head and said "rub my hair mom". Impressed! So of course, I did it. Then he moved my hand and said "rub my arm mom". Wow! Again, I did it. I thought that he had fallen asleep after a minute of this so I stopped. Wrong! He rolled over and said "rub my back mom"! I tell you - he was pushing his luck, because I was tired too!!! I rubbed his back for a minute then I stopped. He rolled over and looked at me, put his little leg up in the air and said "rub my feet mom"!!! Needless to say, I woke right up and told him nope, he could rub his own feet! What a kid, I tell ya, crazy :)

Joey will be finished school next week. Report cards should be home soon and I can't wait! I know he did well and that he's going on to Grade 2 in September, but I just can't wait to see what kind of grades he got! He had track & field days last week and he apparently did really well. He was proud of himself for kicking a soccer ball with his sandals on! He didn't think that he could do it, I guess! Monday is his last school trip for the year and they are headed to the African Lion Safari. I love that place, and Joey does as well!!! Can't wait to go in August, right Auntie Laney?!

I went to the library last night with Joey and we got a book on origami. Its a lot harder than I thought it would be! Hopefully Joey will figure it out... he's pretty smart! Then he can teach me!

We're heading out now, the kids have too much energy and I need fresh air. Have a good weekend. Bye!!!
