How long has it been?

Over a year! It's been over a year since I posted anything!!! How did I let this happen? Lots has happened in a year. C started kindergarten, and, although we had a tough transition (me more than him), he's had a wonderful year. I love his teacher and have been constantly amazed at his growth and maturity. I tear up everytime he reads to me. C is sweet, smart, and snuggly. A is getting bigger and bigger. I'm loving every second of watching his personality develop. He's funny, curious, and intense. While C is my negotiator, A is my little engineer. Those boys are my world.

They spent their spring break with my father and stepmother and just returned today. DH and I missed them terribly while they were gone, but we did enjoy the break (and the sleep!) They got back today and we realized C needed new shoes so I started out the door. The following conversation occurred:

Me: A, do you want to go to the store with me?

A: No, mommy, I don't have time.

Me: Are you sure? Can you make time?

A: I'm sorry mommy, my time machine is broken, I can't make time until I fix it.

We then spent 30 minutes building a time machine out of blocks so that we could make time for him to go to the store. Alas, though, the time machine broke again and we couldn't make enough time for him to go with me. These boys keep me hopping and I love every second!
