The chaos continues but life is good

So, we are a month into the house being a mess due to our home improvement project.  I had to go to pick up more supplies today, the second time we have done so since starting.  The job was supposed to be finished June 23, today is July 10 and there are at LEAST two days of work left.  I am SO over it.  I want my house back.  We are working until 10pm at night sorting materials each night.  It looks good so far but I'm not sure the price was worth it.  I'm sure over time it will be but I'm jaded right now.

On another note, I'm mortified to admit that K and I were late to his appointment with the Psych today.  I got home after errands and forgot there was no carseat in my car and well, we didn't get there in time.  She was understanding but it frustrates me that I goofed.  I wanted to get this underway and it will have to wait until next week.  Our appointment is 8am next week which means up and out on a Saturday.

K started Fast ForWord this week.  He seems to be doing well with it and enjoying it.  He earned 11 Fast ForWord dollars and his prize for the week was a set of Heroes and Villans Star Wars playing cards.  So, we have not transferred his obsession to something that all of us can enjoy which is a good thing.  We have been playing games of War all weekend and K is absolutely LOVING it.  I like that he loves it as it is good from a math, general processing and motor skills perspective.  Sweeping and stacking the cards quickly is putting him to work quite a bit.

Other than the home improvement project, things are generally very good.

We had a great trip last weekend as a family to see my brother and his family.  We had a fantastic time which included the Bronx Zoo, multiple sets of fireworks, boat rides on the Hudson, swimming, playing in my brother's AWESOME yard,  a trip into the city for dinner and The Addams Family for my husband and I, and plenty of great play time for the cousins.

This weekend we are enjoying our first weekend at home as a family in three weeks.  The weather seems to have broken a bit and we are enjoying play time inside and out.  Life is good!
