The kids got up early to see their little treat bags. It wasn’t much-I went major budget. But they were excited anyway. It was plenty since they also got treats from Aunt Tami and Grandma stopped by and brought treat bags as well. Julio got me tickets to see Juanes (a Spanish singer) in May. I am soooo excited! He also brought me some flowers and chocolate. Aww, what a sweet guy. I’ m go lucky. I love ALL my Valentine’s!
Well, January has passed already! I remember a few years ago, when I was homeschooling Lucia, it was the longest, slowest month ever! I was dreading it again back in December, but January went by pretty quickly this year. Probably because I’m so busy. Looking at my calendar, there is something written on most days: Activity Days for Lucia, Occupational therapy for Sylvie, Recorder Class for Lucia, book club, feed the missionaries, Policy Committee meeting for Head Start, Stake Leadership meeting, watch my friend’s kids, visiting teaching, visit less-actives, Activity planning meeting and Julio and I even got a date to the temple and out to dinner. I have also been going to the gym every morning after I drop Marco off at school. I love going and Tessa loves the daycare there. I do zumba on Mondays, Group Strength Training on Tuesdays, yoga on Wednesdays, and kick-boxing on Thursdays. I’m feeling stronger and have more energy and it puts me in a better mood when I have that total-me time. I guess (I’m) pretty busy! It’s good though.
Marco got an award at school in January for Self-Discipline. His teacher and I figured out a system to help him improve his reading. It’s accountability and trying his best everyday-he gets a good note to bring home and a sticker on his chart if he does all his reading. Lucia did a performance of Gangnam Style with her class at the awards assembly. It was funny. I’ll have to post the video to You Tube.
