Father's Day

Hakeem is out of school and we have a super busy schedule. Hakeem and Javari have swim class three days a week for a month and I have a 4-week summer class in web design. Plus we go to a couple of playdates every week (moslty water parks), and there's always doctor's appointments and grocery shopping and whatever else. I love my class because I'm learning more xhtml and css so I can make a nice website. I probably won't make any changes to my website anytime soon, but hubby's website needs a major overhaul. I made his website years ago so the code is now outdated and every single page will need a good amount of editing. Which wouldn't be so bad if he had less than 10 pages but he has way more than that. I have my work cut out for me. But at least it will be fun.

Having a baby for the third time is a charm and I'm enjoying it even more this time around. I wish he could stay this size forever (he's now 7 months). He's the best baby one could have. He sleeps through the night and he's mostly in a good mood. Only time he fusses is when I'm not holding him. He usually doesn't want to hang with daddy very long but last night he spent a couple of happy hours with him. It was nice for me because I got a lot of homework done. My two older kids I can't praise too much right now because they are just too much sometimes. Yesterday they were just climbing the walls and wanting to kill each other. A short trip to McDonald's to play with a friend and burn energy only helped a little. Right now they're pretty quiet because they're watching TV and playing video games but we only got up two hours ago so you never know. I plan on having them work in their workbooks and help clean up today.

I've been thinking...an associates is not enough. Why not turn my hobby into a job that I would love and get a bachelors in web design? I need a few months' break though so I will look into that later. I have something to look forward to now...my mom is coming here in three months. I'm already thinking about where I'm gonna take her when she comes. We need to do some fun stuff for sure.

I wish my dad and my husband a Happy Father's Day today. The kids and I made framed hand prints yesterday that we are going to give to hubby when he gets home. I hope he'll like them.

Painting at the park with the playgroup and we also made hand prints.
