August 5th, 2011

Today is Friday, and that means that Suzanne came to clean the house! YAY!! Gus was still sleeping when I woke up this morning, so I decided to take advantage and hop in the shower while I had time. Just as I was done, he woke up, so the timing was pretty perfect.

He and I headed downstairs and had breakfast. Suzanne arrived and we played downstairs while she cleaned upstairs. Here are some pictures from this morning:

 

Gus LOVES his telephone

 

Deep in thought

 

Playing with his elephant

I took him up for his morning nap around 10:45 and he fell asleep right away. 

While Gus napped, I logged into Career Step and decided to finish the module that I couldn't finish last night. It was a HUGE unit... there were like 60 pages and I started at 7:00 last night and when I got to 11:00... I was only 80% done. I decided to stop while I was at a new section before trying to complete the remaining 20% and unit test.

I was able to finish the unit and take the unit test... I was really nervous about it, but I scored a 100% on it!!! Woot! Woot!! :)

I was able to start the next module, which is all about the keyboard. I did a practice typing game and it said my WPM was like 49.9 (not good), but when I took three different speed tests, my average WPM was 80 (which technically, because I scored an 80 or above, I can opt out of the module). I decided to do the module and get more practice... it can't hurt!!

Gus woke up and that was the end of my studies for today. 

We headed downstairs and played for the afternoon:

 

He loves to put blankets/towels on his head and walk around!

 

Thinking about what to do next...

Steve got home and I had just put Gus down for his afternoon nap. He slept for almost two hours and woke up in a FABULOUS mood! He was hungry, but SOOOOO happy! :D

Here are some pictures from a year ago:

 

Me and Gus at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher

It's crazy to think that it's been a year since I last saw Aimee! I miss her so much! We had hoped to see her when we went to MI in February, but the timing was bad... and then we went back in April, but we weren't able to see anyone other than family because we were only there for the weekend. We're going to see them for sure this trip at the end of the month!!

Today I completed two Cat's Custom Classroom Creations orders that I got... I'll put them in the mail tomorrow on my way to get my hair done. I'm getting it cut and colored... should be fun!! I haven't seen Shannon (my hair girl) for MONTHS!!

I'll be sure to post pictures in tomorrow's blog... we've got dinner plans with the Dudding family tomorrow and I can't wait!!

See you tomorrow!
