Today

Today has been a pretty day. The sun is shining. There's a pleasant breeze. The boys have been playing well together (with only one hair pulling match). They ate outside on the deck and didn't make a mess.

1)What tranquillizes kids when they are outside?

2)How come being inside makes them louder and more obnoxious?

The boys have been good. They had a good nap and are ready to go for the 2nd half of the day. I think this time of the day is the most tiring for me. I didn't get a nap. Instead, I cleaned our shower, which took about 30 minutes to really "deep" clean it, then took a shower myself. It's one of the things I really despise about house cleaning and it's always the last to be touched. I tell you what. I'm not sure who likes to clean house (especially bathrooms), but if you're into that, I think I'd pay you to do mine (all 3 full baths). Maybe you can see why I dislike cleaning bathrooms.

Then I went to the church building tonight and started putting packages of baby items together (Packages of Love) for families who need a little cheer in their lives. I enjoy doing this. However, it didn't end well. The boys were with me and I just couldn't take the crying and fighting and taking things off the tables while everyone was trying to work. So we left.

Meanwhile, Kyle had a softball game. Yep. Softball season is underway. I miss playing softball. I felt like I had a little youth left in me. Now I'm a mom and that's what's keeping me busy 24/7. I still find things to keep me busy other than mommy duty. I have a Bible study that meets once a month. I went to a scrapbooking on Monday and it meets once a month, so I may try to keep up with that. I'm planning a girls night out with mom's from church. And I'm blogging which keeps you up to date. Happy Thursday!


Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; belseed are those who have not seen yet have believed." John 20:29

Blog Tweaking!

So I've been tweaking my blog and it's been fun. I've added a few things that might be easier for you to get too. Have fun exploring.

Happy Easter weekend!

Quality Time vs. Quanity Time

My thought today...

Time, first of all, is passing by quickly. I'm looking at the clock and it's nap time again. Wasn't it just nap time a few hours ago? I have a very difficult time managing my time too. If I'm at home, I have tons of things I should be doing and playing with the kids all day long won't get half of the work done that needs to be done.
Today, Keegan and I had a "Wiggle and Giggle" class. It's a 30-minute session for 4-weeks. Nolan spends some time in the daycare and I get to spend some quality time with Keegan...not the quanity time I give them when we're at home. It's important to get out of your surroundings (a place that's very distracting) and spend some quality time with your kids. It's a juggling act for sure.
Remember to spend some good quality time with your kids each day. Get away from your "messy" house and go do something together. Go to the park! We may do that tomorrow if it's not too cold. They are growing faster than I'd like.
