Catching Up

I'm really getting bad at this...lazier and lazier..  or perhaps i'll just go with I've been SO unbelieveably busy that when I find a moment, I just want to sit and do a whole bunch of nothing.  I made attempts to catch up on whats been going on not too long ago but then that trailed off.  So here we go with yet another attempt to recap some things:

Khai's almost done with Kindergarten now and in just a little over a week will attend summer camp at the Lifetime Fitness Gym. He'll be swimming, going on field trips to places like the air and space museum and the zoo, and doing a number of other fun activities - he's extremely excited to go and we are excited for him!
Kindergarten itself was a great adventure for him. He loved it. His teachers were all so very wonderful and we are bummed that they'll be transferring all the kids in our neighborhood to another school for the next school year.  We've seen him come out of his shell this past year as he's grown into this fiesty little busy body with a mouth to boot. Have you noticed little kids just love to be loud? Holy ear piercing - He still has the pterodactyl shriek down pretty strong! He loves going outside and playing with the neighborhood kids and its just been so weird for me getting used to kids knocking on our door daily asking "Is Khai home? Can he come out and play?", or coming home to a living room full of kids and Legos and total chaos. Reminder here.. I was an only child.. this much commotion in the house is far too much stimulation for me and I'm still wrapping my mind around it all trying not to pull my hair out...and at the same time..yes, its pretty cool to see something I never really had growing up being all only child and not as outgoing as he is. 
Academically, he's doing pretty well - although it would seem from the criteria on the report cards that things have gotten really tough for kids these days - or perhaps its just the school system in this county. Either way, some of the topics listed were questionable, but he seems to be managing just fine. He's a great reader, though his writing is looking like it'll be as wonderful as ours...

Teeth - this boy has lost some teeth finally! Wait, why am I even sounding excited about this. I'm not!  It means my baby is growing up and now he's got those funny looking teeth. Its not cute anymore..and yet its pretty cute..  I'll write a separate entry for his teeth...

Is it terrible I can't think of other things that have happened lately? Yes.. it is..
Lets see... hmmm...  Ok i've been cooking..learning how to cook really. Thats probably my one only ME thing..which frankly I've noticed i'm starting to run out of ideas and drive. I just dont know how people find the time, but seriously I was all gung ho there for a minute..several minutes really and now I feel like i'm in a lull. I've been taking pictures and jotting down recipes for everything I've made - I had these grand plans to put everything into a blog and then eventually print out a recipe book, and somewhere along the way I slacked off on that too. Now i'm like a year behind.  Between writing here and writing there.. I have so much to do. How will I ever catch up?!
