I Know! Long Time, No Post

This is the time of year where life gets crazy. Open House and end of the year festivities are fast approaching at school. I make a memory book for each student in my class and I am so far behind on them! Along with the normal craziness has been some abnormal craziness. I must sound like a train wreck to everyone!

Last Monday, Petey the Puppy (Nick's toddler alter ego) made a return to our family. For those of you who are going "huh?", when Nick was a toddler he would pretend he was a dog and crawl around on all fours barking and licking people. We thought he grew out of it, WRONG! So on Monday, he and a little friend were pretending to be dogs in my room after school. They were hiking up their legs pretending to pee in my room. Nick, I mean Petey, decides he should mark my Mrs. Wishy Washy tub. I am teaching a farm unit and it is an actual metal can once used on a farm. I use it as a prop to act out a story in class. Well Petey discovered it has a sharp edge so as his leg came down after peeing, he sliced his shin open. He ended up needing six stitches and is out of baseball for the next three games.

My dad has been dealing with Chron's disease and after effects of several surgeries. He is going in for yet another surgery on Monday so we're a little stressed out about that.

Damian had the opportunity to go through a trial run of the physical test for the fire department on Thursday. He passed with almost a minute to spare. We are confident he'll make the list to get into the academy, but where he ranks on that list we're unsure of. We're hoping he'll make it in for the academy starting August-ish. He has a few people mentoring him and has set up to do a few ride alongs with the station down the street. Damian is continuing to heal after his eye surgery and is loving life without glasses.

I've made a few more layouts in my Digi in Deep scrapbooking class with Jessica Sprague. Her classes are addicting! Life has been so busy that I haven't had the chance to do some of the midweek assignments. I am hoping to catch up, but will probably have to do without sleep in order to do so. I am so loving it when I do have the time to spend on it. Here are more layouts to share.
