Excuse my blog neglect.

Umm, I have no idea how this keeps happening. A week will pass and I'll realize that my poor blog has been sitting around neglected. Actually, I do have a pretty good idea of how it happened this past week. Let's do a quick recap, shall we?

School is winding down for the semester, which means I have a couple of big projects due in a week or two. My little brother was in town from Chicago visiting. My mom's birthday was yesterday. Oh, and I have a toddler. Have I mentioned before how busy and active he is? I thought maybe I had. Sitting down at the computer during his waking hours is simply an impossibility these days.

I'd like to promise that it won't happen again and I'll be posting daily from now on, but this week promises to be just as busy as last week. I'll be completing my final couple of field study hours in my friend's third grade classroom (for the semester, anyway). We're getting the inside of our house painted (yay!) which requires Camden and me to find a new home for several hours each day. Most likely, we'll be heading to Nan and Pop's lake house. I'm sure we'll also squeeze in the playground, storytime, and a playdate or two in there somewhere. So, if I disappear from the blogosphere again, at least now you'll know why. To make up for my blog slacker ways, I'll leave you with a few pictures from my mom's birthday party yesterday evening. Forgive me?
