Saturdays

Allen is out mowing the lawn, and I should be working to clean the house, but I'm not. I'll get to that eventually. Instead, I'm on the computer catching up with people's blogs, and writing my own. Little Moochy is out "helping" mow the lawn. Allen got half the lawn mowed last weekend, so he's doing the other half today. It really is a big job. The lawn grows SO fast, and the weather has not been cooperating lately. If he misses a week of mowing it takes even longer to get it all done.

Toh-Toh is sleeping (on my shoulder b/c he won't let me put him down right now). I love to cuddle with my sweet little baby. I can't believe he'll be a year old in a few months. He's already crawling all over and getting into everything. I can't do the dishes when he's around because he wants to climb up into the dishwasher.

I have been thinking how nice it will be to live somewhere with 4 seasons. Moochismo will get to enjoy snow next winter! (We rarely get snow here, and when we do it's gone by noon). And I'll be able to take the boys outside more often because it won't be cloudy & rainy all the time. Don't get me wrong. I love Washington and how green it is here, but the constant drizzle does get a bit old.

We're excited to get down to Utah and start the next chapter in our lives. (This book is getting long, isn't it?) I will definitely miss my family. I hope they will come visit us sometime, and hopefully Allen's work schedule won't be too crazy so we can come up to Washington as well. He'll be taking three classes this Fall (Human Anatomy, Nutrition, and Chemistry), along with a CNA course for the first half of the semester. Then he'll start working as a CNA (hopefully for IHC, so they'll help pay for school) while he completes his other prerequisites and applies for the nursing program. With all of Allen's history working in healthcare, you'd think he would have more of the pre-reqs done. He was NA Certified years & years ago, but that doesn't help much now.

Well, I suppose I should get some work done. I still have a lot of cleaning to do, and I also want to go through some more stuff to try and downsize for our move.
