We have a guest!!

That's right we have a guest in our home this week. His name is Bandit and he is a sweet guinea pig. We were lucky enough to watch the little guy while his owner is busy in Washington D.C. at the National Spelling Bee!!

So far it has been interesting. My hubby has never liked the little critters much, but I love them. So this is a kind of test drive to see if one day we can have one or a rabbit of our own. Our chihuahua, Buffy is very interested. It was love at first sight for her. She just can't get enough of the little guy. Every move he makes, she goes nuts. She whines and he peeps at her. It is hilarious.

My hopes and prayers are with TT's friend and his family as they travel to D.C. for him to compete in the bee.

Long time...

Yes, I know it has been a while since I blogged. A good friend and obviously an actual reader of my blog noted this evening that she has missed reading my blogs. It was nice to hear that someone actually reads about all my rambling and daily drama.

Well, life has been busy these last few months, I won't lie to ya. Between dance, swim team, play dates, social events and just daily life I have been running myself crazy. After next week dance ends for Poogie, but what a week it will be. We have studio and dress rehearsals several days and then recital on Saturday. Plus, we have swim practice and our first swim meet. Thank goodness I have a great network of fellow homeschoolers and girlfriends that help me out when I need it.

I have also been shopping for curriculum for next year and planning science lessons to teach at the YMCA program next year. That's right I am slipping on my teaching hat and will be teaching my favorite subject, science. We will see how it all goes.

I just wanted to take a moment to publish the latest pics of my kids with their swim team buddies at our swim-a-thon. The kids swam and raised money for their suits and other team necessities. I have to say that the swim team has been a great activity to be involved in. It has improved my kids focus, determination and overall health. They are in the best shape ever, especially TT and they love it.

Well, I must take a little mommy time now that the sweet ones are in bed.
