Bens plans for the future are: Sign up for more years in the army since his original three years are up this year. Move to wherever they let us go, hopefully hawaii. Go to retraining for a month then go to Warrent Officer school for three months in Georgia whenever he finally hands in his paperwork for warrent officer school. Who knows when that'll be. He has to get ahold of his old school records and wait for other officers to sign papers, then wait for the board to approve him. In the meantime he is working on getting sargeant. this also takes paperwork and a boards approval as well but it'll mean a nicer house and more pay. They still have yet to get back to us about where we might be living next or when we're moving. In army time, it might take years. who knows
The kids are still doing great. Tosh isn't talking much more but seems to get aggrivated now that we can't understand him. He also gets mad when the dog steals his toys or crayons. The dog is becoming a nausence bc he chews on all the toys the kids have that are plastic so we end up throwing them out. Tosh cries about Joey stealing things from right in his hand but I can't understand what he says most of the time so I can't help. Only today did I realize this is such a problem for poor low-to-the-ground Toshypoo. Samya loves to pick the dog up and she won't be fooled by him. She certainly won't let him steal any of her food or toys from her hands. She is getting very smart and tells me how we need to put all of her toys up high so the dog can't eat them.
She now figures out ways to get high up herself. She pulled a computer chair into the kitchen, climbed up it to the counter, stood up and now can reach the top shelve where mommy hides her cookies!! well needless to say I don't 'hide' anything there anymore. I have no more hiding spots now that I am determined to stay on Nutrisystem.
Tosh is no closer to potty training still. any ideas? Samya is cute. she picks a movie on Netflicks to watch and for every movie she says it is her favorite.
Ben is enjoying the nice weather to go golfing in and next weekend we are having a garage sale. we have soo much stuff to put up for sale. it takes up more than one closet in our house. we still have baby items even. so anyone who wants stuff, come by this weekend!
I've been listening to Adele often, rediscovered circle puzzles and needlework and discovered Paradise Island app for my phone. The kids are nice enough to spend time watching movies so I can do these things when I need my alone time. How I love them. Can't get much better than it is now. So how are you doing Elsa? Since you're the only one who reads this I should just address it to you... hehe Love ya -hgrm
