Back to School Time

I can't believe it, but Brax is back in school and has finished his first three days as a 1st grader. He loves school and his new found independence. He is excited every time he comes home. We went to back to school night with him and met his teacher. Brax gets up early to get ready for school and can't possibly wait to head to the bus stop. He is so funny! His new found loves are Phineas and Ferb, Cupcake Wars, and anything dealing with survival. He asks tons of questions. The one day he even designed his own cupcake display. Cooking classes are a next step in our boy's life, according to him. He is also taking piano from me and so far so good. He is a smart kid and we love him very much. I've volunteered to help at the school and I'm looking forward to being a part of his school education.

He runs home from the bus to beat the neighbor girls and it's so funny to watch!

With Braxten back in school, I have 7.5 hours all to myself to try to get things done. This past week has been a dry run, but I think I'm figuring it out. Branden and I were able to have a date day while Brax was in school. It was kind of nice. I have also averaged 1-2 workouts a day since school began. At this rate I'm hoping to be skinny before school ends. We'll have to see what happens. My pills are finally working and are proving to help with my cycle which is great! It'd be nice if the pregnancy option came into play, but to tell the truth I don't know that I'm quite ready for that right now. I am enjoying my new alone time. I have felt kind of lost and haven't managed time very well, but I'll get it figured out. I should be able to have a clean house.

Branden is just working like crazy on his project at work. He is getting quite tan due to the fact that he's outside most of the day at work. As for me, still light and no desire to go out in the sun all day. It is Branden's birthday on Tuesday. I just gave him cash because he's really good at saving it up so that he can get something he has his eye on. He really wants an air compressor. It was due to the fact that both cars had low air pressure this past week and it was a pain trying to get them filled up. He did change the oil in our car today while I was out and about which I really appreciated! I love Branden and am blessed to have him in my life. Anyway, that's a quick update on the family. Happy Birthday Babe!
