i'm a slacker

It's true. At least when it comes to blogging. So here is my attempt to make up for all my non-post-y-ness. (it's a new word. I made it up myself.)

• Monkey is still on asthma medication. We're doing a three month trial. Since the doctor thinks it is seasonally triggered, this makes sense. It seems to be working. Unfortunately, he got a cold this week, but it is much better now.
• We are painting our garage. Wohoo! This weekend.
  
• The Music Man is taking some holidays (today and Monday = 5 day weekend) to do so. Also, his parents are coming to help us.
• If we have time, we are also building Monkey a sandbox. The lumber is in our back yard right now, just waiting to be put together.
• It's summer.
• You can tell, because it is hot.
• I am (slowly) working on my application to become a La Leche League Leader. My enthusiasm for this endeavour waxes and wanes. I do a lot and then nothing. I'm like that.
• We've seen some good movies lately. Like Dan in Real Life and Lars and the Real Girl.
  
• The Music Man and I have fallen completely out of love with So You Think You Can Dance. This is no great loss to us.
• Writing this list has made me think I am VERY BORING.
• It's probably true.
• But Monkey is not at all boring, so I'll write about him.
• Last week he learned to say "Paul Bunyan" and "Kentucky blue grass."
  
• He remembers everything and makes connections we would never think of. I mention "farmers' sausage" he thinks of "farmers' market" (because they sound the same, I think, but we also bought them there...)
  
• He is increasingly cute and is in desperate need of another hair cut.

Umm. That's all I can think of. If I don't "see" you before then - Happy Canada Day!

ETA: I totally stole this "witty bulleted update" idea from Heidi. Just so you all know.
