Blessings-Day 5

Sisters!

Kylee stayed with us last night and is staying again tonight! She is such a sweet girl! It is so nice for her and Ethan to get to spend some time together. It seems like Ethan is always at his dad's when Kylee is around. I was looking at albums with the kids the other day and Kylee and Ethan were always together. They were so close! I was listening to them chat last night after I went to bed and it was so good to hear.

Blessings- Day 4

Old Friends!!!

Today I got to catch up with a friend from High School that I haven't talked to in forever. It was so nice to chat. She will be in town the end of April and we are hoping to get together.

Spring Break

We got almost everything done so we can have Spring Break. We need to do a little school Monday, but not much. I am not sure what we will do, but I am trying to think of something fun and inexpensive. Ethan goes to his dad's Wednesday afternoon so can't really GO anywhere, but we will find something fun. I wish I was a better planner!

Day 3 of Blessings

Today I am blessed with SUNSHINE!!!! I love the sun! It means the snow must melt! It means Vitamin D and happiness! It means baseball is almost here! It means walks with Rusty at night! It means skateboards and basketball! It means kicking the boys outside when they are driving me crazy! SUNSHINE!!!!!

Kisses from Connor

I watched Connor yesterday so Amber could volunteer in the classroom with Cody. That boy sure knows how to "plant one on you". He has the sweetest little boy kisses! I sure miss the days when my boys were cuddly and kissy! At almost 15 Ethan would rather kiss a frog than his mom and Tuck still cuddles but .... One day we need to record Connor giving kisses cause it is just the cutest thing. Love you Connor!!!

30 days of blessings

I am kind of adopting this idea from a friend that I haven't talked to in years. She has a 30 days of wonder on her blog. So I am going to try a 30 days of blessings. During a mostly sleepless night I decided I need to FOCUS on the positives in life instead of all the things that don't go right and tend to just bog me down in a case of the grumpies. So starting today (and I will try to blog something each day), I am going to write one thing that is a blessing in my life.

Having the ability to exercise!!! Even though I don't always want to I am thankful that I have a healthy body that allows me to.

Vacation Day

We decided to take today off and work a day next week (official Spring Break). Tuesday is such a hard day when Ethan gets home from his dad's. The boys have a very hard time settling into the work day so we figured we would just have a playday. They talked me into playing Risk. I have watched them play but haven't tried it myself. Ethan dominated the world!!! I told him I will whoop him next time, now that I understand how to play. We went to the Shell and bought snacks and watched t.v. It was a pretty quiet day, but enjoyable. Tomorrow it is back to work.
