Soooo... February has been fun!

Yeah, so I've been away from the blog for most of the month, as our dear friend Ted pointed out.... My only excuse is this: I'm too darn busy to sit down and write about any of the craziness that's been going on this month!
I'll try to recap, but I'm sure I'll miss most of the good and funny stuff:
-Our van is broken. Really broken. We have not had it for the last week. It's back now, not repaired, and we're waiting to take it somewhere else on Monday. It's the only vehicle we have.... so needless to say, we're hoping for a QUICK fix.
-Sweet Pea rolled over today. We didn't see it because she was in her crib, but I know she did it because when I put her down, she was on her back. I went in to check on her and she was on her tummy, screaming bloody murder.
-Ladybug turned 3! at the beginning of the month. The same day, Sweet Pea turned 5 months! We had a fun party for Ladybug's birthday and she had a blast! She has gone from the sweet 2's to the wretched and ridiculous threes. We're hoping this year or this phase go by very QUICKLY!
-Superman is part rooster- the other night, when he was supposed to be sleeping, he was in his sisters' room, cock-a-doodle-doing his heart out. He had turned on the light and was attempting to wake the two sleeping princesses. Thankfully, he was unsuccessful, but not for lack of trying.
-Jefferson and I have lost a combined 50lbs. since January 1st. He's lost 26 and I've lost 24. I couldn't be more proud of him for how hard he is working! We both work out most everyday- and for the most part, actually want to! I can honestly say it's the first time in my life I have ever wanted to be physically active. I enjoy it and I miss working out if I skip a day.
-I have learned that I am a stress eater through and through. Yesterday was a truly bizzare day and the first thing I wanted to do was ransack the kitchen. Thank God for His grip on me. I know it was only because of Him that I didn't. I literally prayed myself out of the kitchen most of the day. Unless you're a stress eater, you have no idea what I'm talking about! :)
-Sweet Pea likes to rock! We've discovered that anytime there's music- she rocks it out! We love it!
- Superman is doing great! He's loving preschool and can't wait for homeschool kindergarten... which is the other thing that's been taking a lot of my time and thought. I am researching and beginning to plan and think about what next year will look like and everything that comes with it. I'm alternatingly excited and overwhelemd. I also found out that I am able to renew my lapsed PA certificate if I complete 180 hours of continuing ed. credit, which I could do several ways. I would really like to do that because then I will be able to evaluate Superman's work myself and also offer my services as a homeschool evaluator to other families. I am still trying to figure out how to squeeze the courses in to an already busy life.
- More updates coming soon, I promise. Well, I promise to try anyway. :)

This must be the calm after the storm. :)
