Crazy

Here is a little update. Things here are crazy. RB and I feel like we are barely holding on to our sanity. Teaching is winding down and the kids know it. Craziness in the classroom almost every day. I have to remind my kids every day that just because core testing is over with doesn't mean we stop learning and doing assignments. I don't know how RB does it with first graders. Craziness.

College is college. I've been frustrated, stressed, upset, worried, and even a feeling of giving up all in the first three weeks of class. Only five more weeks, only five more weeks. I have to remind myself every day to keep me from going crazy.

My girls are full of life, spirit, spunk, and craziness. Lil is quite the little spununcle right now and dealing with her mood swings can drive me crazy. MJ is a really big helper when she wants to be. They keep us on our toes and we love it!

We love Sundays even though we are busy with church. It is our day to forget about school, and school and just be home as a family. Man I can't wait for Sunday to come this week. This morning felt like to took three days to go by. We worked really hard in class doing lots of activities and word. It was only 11am when I looked at my watch... not even lunch time.

Well I've vented and said the word crazy enough times for now. So enjoy your crazy day and I will try to enjoy the rest of mine as I finish up this weeks assignment and submit it before midnight. Yea. :)

Sleeping Pirates

Okay so I don't have pirates that are sleeping. However, I do have one little girl that was so tired she couldn't stay awake after eating a brownie. Yes, her hand is down her pants. For whatever reason that is her favorite place to have her hand(s) while sleeping.


Now comes our pirate. MJ found a cup that I asked her to throw away. She came into the house like this just laughing the whole time.


My girls keep us going with fun filled surprises. Love them tons!

Spaghetti Mania

My kids LOVE spaghetti! They love making a mess with it too but I'm not complaining because at least they are eating it. Last night I had to take pictures of Lil's process. Just so everyone knows it was her choice to sit on the stool at her table. She was so funny eating. Here are the steps to properly eat a plate of spaghetti:

1st On the lap with a fork.


2nd On the table and forget the fork.


3rd Grab with two hands.


4th Bite in the middle.


5th Eat both handfuls to start over again.


MJ technique is a little cleaner. Eat with one hand so the other hand was sparkling clean.



Got to love spaghetti!

Sleepy Sleepy

I love checking on the kids and finding them sleeping the same way. It happens all the time with MJ. I know I have more than just these two pictures but there were the first ones I found.

MJ and Lil


MJ and her cousin at Grandma's home.

So cute!

Easter 2010

Easter this year was spent in WY. We forgot our camera though and so these pics were taken by my mom and sister. Thanks for sending them to me!

Here the kids are making an Easter craft.


Counting and opening the eggs Lil found. She had a lot of fun finding the eggs and knew just what to do.


MJ had fun too. She wasn't allowed to pick up the easy eggs for the younger kids but was not quit tall enough to find the eggs with the older kids. She still did good though. Her older cousin was flying through every room. MJ took her time and found the well hid ones.


What is Easter without coloring eggs. They had fun decorating them more than they did coloring them.






Lil had fun wrestling with her cousin. He just laid there and laughed. It was funny.


MJ got new snow pants from her aunt. She loves showing off her new clothes.


Easter was good. I took a day off work since my spring break wasn't this weekend. It was nice to spend time with family and watch conference. Hope all your Easters were good too.
