Hi Blog world! I am definitely a sporadic blogger of late. I have decided to challenge myself to blog every day in May! We will see how that goes!
I am going to try to change the font on there also-it's driving me crazy, so chances are it's hard for others to read as well.
I also just uploaded a bunch of pics to the computer-so maybe I can post more pics and change the pic too!
What have we been up to though???
Well, school keeps us so busy! I know it's only 3 days a week, but wow! I can't even imagine how next year will be. It's weird to say next year, when in actuality it is truly only a few short months away!
In other school news- Mr. Henry may be going 3 days a week next year. I have met with the twins' teacher and we have discussed at length Henry being in the class. I just don't know if this Momma is ready for that or not! Henry desperately needs more interaction with kids his age though. I feel like it isn't fair to Henry to deny him this opportunity just because I am super-attached to my baby. And to quote my Granny- I don't care if he's 40 years old, he will always be MY baby!!! :-) I think it would a great introduction to school with such a wonderful teacher! We just LOVE the kids' teacher this year, and I have tried to show it by spoiling her and giving her lots of treats to show our appreciation. I should post some of my ideas on here in case anyone else wants to spoil their childrens' teachers as well!
Henry is actually warming up to the school idea a little bit, asking for a John Deere back pack! I don't care what it costs, I will have to find that boy a John Deere back pack! Our main hurtle will be fine-tuning his potty training. He does okay with peeing. #2's are just not happening in the potty right now.
Have I mentioned potty training is my least favorite thing? Just saying.....
Our baby calf is doing great, and we have settled into a schedule of feeding her twice per day. She is so sweet and will be hard to part with. She may be staying on full time at our house!!! As we went to feed her this morning, the kids were busy playing with their cousins and we spent about 2 hours just playing. It is easy for that to annoy me at times, but after I thought about it, it IS my job to stay at home with my kids. I had nothing else pressing except laundry and housework. Why couldn't I sit and listen to the kids laughter and take a break myself for a while? I think sometimes we forget what our true priorities should be. So what if I don't finish my to-do list today? The most pressing thing on it was catching up the laundry, which let's just be honest, may never happen!!!!
I am rambling, but does anyone else's kids eat non-stop? I mean, truly I don't know what we'll do when the kids are teenagers. Last week we had a playdate with some cousins over, and the kids ate a block of cheddar and several pounds of grapes in one sitting! I am constantly amazed at how much food kids can eat. We can never have enough milk, cheese, grapes, and apples in this house!
Well, I am off to do more laundry and cleaning. I will post more soon, and apologize for the complete randomness of this post. Just whatever thoughts cross my mind......
More later!
