I suppose that it is time for me to update the world on the Palfreyman Family happenings....here goes nothing!
not much going on here.
Well, there has been some excitement, but it mostly stems from the fact that Rick's world traveling will be coming to and end soon. June is the magical month where Rick and I are taking ALL four of the kids to Washington D.C. for his big graduation from the Executive Leadership Training....blah blah....all I know is that he will be DONE!!!! Yay for Ricker!!! But mostly.... Yay for me and my sanity!
Okay now an update on the kids....
Clarissa continues strong on the fiddle! She performs every chance she gets....school is a blessing beyond compare, she is so happy!!!! She entered the ever popular 4-eyes club 2 weeks ago...and very proud of it! She looks more like me with her "lavender" spectacles!
Sam....well, Sam is always busy inventing whatever his clever little mind can think up! Last week he was perfecting his sun-dials...today, he was building robots!?! He his OBSESSED with planets, the moon, the sun....he was quite put out when he heard that Pluto is no longer a planet! He wants me to tell him how many days it takes Jupiter to rotate around the sun....and can't believe it when I tell him i have NO idea. His latest obsession has been all about BLACK HOLES....we watch a lot of NOVA at our house!
Thomas....still is the cutest 4 year old I know! Take that all you other 4 years olds reading this blog! Thomas is our designated chicken guy. He takes 99% of the responsibility for the chickens. Sometimes I forget that he is only 4. He has a fair amount of chores everyday like vacuuming the kitchen, emptying the dishwasher, chicken duties, making his bed, playing with James, the list goes on and on and on and on and on.......
James...crawling, drooling, eating various objects on the floor, trying to walk (at 8 months)!! Sure beats Thomas....he was 17 months when he finally decided to walk!
Anna, yes I am one of the kids! Just trying to make it through each day with my temper in check....a skill I dare anyone of you to acquire...quite difficult, especially with 4 kids! I have been de-junking, organizing and D.I.-ing the house...just in case Rick moves us halfway around the world...we shall see!
Till next time...
Thanks for the update. I'm jealous of the dejunking of the home. Maybe during the summer that can get done...haha. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are taking all FOUR kids! I was wondering how that would all work out.
ReplyDeleteYay for the update! Glad to know you're all still in tact....but still anxiously awaiting to hear if we're going to lose you to Belgium (was it?) soon.... Hey! Here's an idea! Maybe if you DO move out there and are there when I finish the old PhD, I will come visit you as a celebration!!!!! Hmmmmm....I like that idea.....
ReplyDeletePlease, please come Karen! I LOVE the idea!!!! If we even go, that is! His application went in yesterday! It always takes months for these things to go through. We won't know for certain until at least September.....well, I'll be waiting anxiously!
ReplyDeleteLove the update! I have been de junking the house too but we aren't MOVING anytime soon (I hope)!
ReplyDeleteWe are not moving either...just a chance we might, so no spreading rumors okay everyone!! ha ha
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for whichever way you want it/its supposed to be...
