A few minutes of downtime...

Last night as I was laying in bed, I decided to check out my blog and look back on what we were doing last december. It's always fun to see how much the kids have changed. Gabby wasn't even close to walking and I was beginning to get anxious about sending Cam to Kindergarten. And yet, here I sit and our new "normal" of having a full-time walk/runner/getting-into-everything-er and an almost 6 year old boy who despises homework seems like what we've been doing for ages. Weird how that works out, isn't it?
.
Anyhow, I took my math final last Saturday and am anxiously awaiting my grade. Nguyen and I have a bet going...If I get an A in the class, I owe him $100 and if I get a B, he owes me a Ben Franklin. This is because he says I always doubt myself and I always end up doing better than I assume. Just this once, I hope I lose the bet. :)
.
That being said, for the next six weeks, I am a free bird! No late night homework. No Saturday test-taking...nothing. It's just me, my family, and whatever we want to do! I love it and I am cherishing being lazy.
.
As for the rest of the Phamily...they're all doing great. I am happy to report that we have been fairly healthy (knock on some wood for me!) and the only recent "urgent care" trip we've had to take was for this dude:
.
.
Turns out he had a case of Kennel Cough which is not really a big deal except sometimes it can turn into pneumonia (what's with my babies and pneumonia?!) and Sir Cain was running a nice little fever so the vet treated it as so. Since he's been on meds, the coughing has stopped and he's back to his normal, goofy, HUGE self. Speaking of huge: Cain weighed in at 98.5 pounds and the vet said she'd like to see him put on a few more pounds in the next couple of weeks (whaaa?) so we've been adding 3 cups of puppy food to his EIGHT cups of adult food PER DAY. That's right folks...11 cups of dog food per day. Let's just say the pet store knows me by name now. Oh, and you know how there's those "pooper scooper" businesses out there now where they'll actually come out to your house once a week and scoop your dogs poop? I'm calling them tomorrow. My backyard has never seen more mountains! Blech!

.Cam, as of today, is OFFICIALLY on winter break. The kid is ecstatic. And it's not because he gets to stay home with me and Gabby...it's because he doesn't have to do homework for 14 days. I'm going to be in BIG trouble in a couple of years.

.Gabbers is still her ornery little self and has recently discovered the art of a "time-out." I was quite shocked the first time I made her sit down on a time-out and she actually sat there for two full minutes...quietly. She's recently learned to make her displeasure known amongst anyone fortunate enough to witness the T.O. but I think it's making an impact...sort of. This girl of mine is getting so big. There's been talks of saying bye-bye to the crib and I can hardly bare to think about it but I'm pretty sure she's ready. :(

.I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. I can't wait to see the kids tear into their gifts this year. So exciting! The year has gone by so fast and before I know it, I'll be another year older. Crazy.

.Well, I think that's enough from me...I should try and get to sleep before 1:00am (a very trying task lately...not sure why) so goodnight and sweet dreams. We're going to visit the aunties and G-G-Ma in the morning for our annual cookie-palooza and I need to get my rest!
