Birthdays and More

January came and went. Will turned 5. He is so excited. He can't wait to start school and go to school like a big boy just like Taylor does. It's been a cold year so far. Not used to that here in San Antonio. It's not hot but it's not this cold!! It's been nice. I decided to do big parties every other year and it being a cold winter didn't really go well with my plans of having it at the park! My house is just so small....but his party worked out. We played at the park for a bit then came home for some cake. Not as many people came that said they would, things come up I understand, it turned out fun though.
Girl Scout Cookies season started. And I am soooo glad it's almost over! I always can't wait for it to get here, but then I am so happy when it's over. I am cookie mom for the third year and I am tired! Taylor wants to stay in girl scouts, but I have a small troop and I don't get much help. They do help, but they won't volunteer to do the big things and I'm really tired of doing them. Well enough complaining about that, I love my girl scout troop and I do want to keep doing it too so we will see what happens I decided to wait and see who was planning on doing it again next year too!!=)
At the end of the month, finally got all our tax info and got the taxes done. Our refund made a great Valentine's day present.
And now we are at the end of Feb. and Taylor is turning 9 in 2 days. She is so excited she woke up today saying tomorrow was her birthday (it's on Friday and today is Wednesday) She was so frustrated when I told her that. Oh Well....We are planning a party at the park for her too and I even let her invite all the girls from her class this year. And we are going to the American Girl Store on Spring Break this year. She's gonna be spoiled this year!!
I'm thinking about putting the kids in Awana next year. Not really sure I want the boys to be in Boy Scouts, since there seems to be some kind of scandal or something...But really hardly ever hear anything bad about the Girl Scouts I just don't understand it! So Awanas looks really fun and something all three of them can do and maybe I'll change my mind about Boy Scouts later...we'll see...
Well, I guess that's all my crazy random thoughts for now...gotta get ready to go make my cookie deposit and grocery shopping!!
