Semi Job

So I started a semi job today at Crislen's daycare as a substitute teacher. Today I trained in the 1 year old room. They were so sweet, one of the little girls was so upset that I was their though. She was not having the whole new teacher thing. Annabelle was so good in the nursery. They said she was an absolute delight. I also managed to hide from Crislen until right at the end. When we got home Crislen made some lovely art work for the front of my fridge. She also made her own eggs for dinner, with my supervision. Annabelle attempted a new flavor a dinner that didn't go over to well, maybe tomorrow.

I am so proud

I am so proud of myself, I am going to bed tonight with a completely clean kitchen and living room. I know it may be wrong to be so happy with myself but I have been struggling to get these two rooms clean for several days and things just kept coming up to stop the progress. Tomorrow I will tackle my bedroom, bath and the dreaded playroom. Wish me luck, because I will need it.

Crislen is learning her new dance routine and I have to say the moves they are teaching them are to cute. Today she showed us the "shake the blanket, now put it down" move. We were laughing so hard. Oh, I finally got my camera out of my husbands truck so more pics to come.

Weekend Update

We had a very relaxed weekend here at home just trying to spend time together. Saturday night we went to see a some friends of ours and their new addition, a baby boy. He was so tiny and so little man cute. He made Annabelle seem so big. Today we tried out the late service at Church, I think I still prefer the 10am service. Afterwards we took the kids to Wendy's for lunch, Crislen's choice, and then home for naps. After a very short attempt at naps we went to the park until it was time for Payton to go to his moms. Then it was a quick trip to Walmart for pick your own dinner night. We are now getting Crislen ready for bed and we are going to enjoy watching a movie together, alone!

This is an amazing video about life and what you do with it. I highly recommend watching this movie all the way through. It is so inspiring!

a day of recharging

So today was a day of recharging for me. I went to MOPS this morning, which was absolutely needed for me at this point, and I had an amazing time. The speaker really sparked my thinking about how much fun I have with my kids. I realized today that I let little things bother me to much. My kids are worthy of playful fun parents who are memorable for more than just disciplining them. I mean don't get me wrong, we do fun things, but not enough at all. Instead of once a week I am shooting for several times a week and definitely every weekend. They deserve to get to be creative, make a mess, and explore. So, to kick off the fun I set up the tent in the back yard so they could play fort. My plan for this weekend is to take the kids on a walk and let Crislen ride her bike, she just learned how. After my MOPS and reflecting I had an awesome chance to take a nap and recharge my body. I have been having head aches for quite sometime now that the doctor thinks are caused by stress, so to be able to get a good uninterrupted nap in the middle of the day was awesome. So I am finishing my night now with a glorious sigh as i sink into bed. My wish for everyone tonight is that you all have a wonderful day tomorrow, because I know I am. Goodnight All!
