Mom Gets Alone Time

Chuck is the best. He let me go do a little shopping all by myself. I was so excited. I was excited to be shopping without worrying how long I was going to be gone; if I had enough diapers, wipes, snacks, drinks, entertainment. I was excited because I didn't have to plan my stops strategically to prevent tantrums, nor did I have to worry about buying things I didn't need or want just to pacify anyone. I had no time limit. I guess what I am trying to say is that it was MARVELOUS! I went to the resale shop to look at for some clothes and stuff. I bought a $3.50 bike for Lily. I then went to Hobby Lobby and bought some things to make a couple of wreaths, a few birthday presents, and a few odds and ends. Then I went to Walmart and bought Lily her birthday present and a couple of things for Easter. I had a nice time wandering around, taking my time, and enjoying myself. I'm sure it will be a long time before it happens again, but that's okay, as long as I get a few moments like this every once in awhile, I'll make it!

Kindergarten Roundup

Yesterday was Kindergarten Roundup at Peter Sarpy. I can't believe Skyler is going to be in Kindergarten! The time has flown by. My little baby boy is going to be in school full time and it doesn't seem possible. It seems like yesterday that we were bringing the little peanut home from the hospital on a cold, snowy December day. He is such a barrel of laughs and brings such happiness to our home. I will miss him during the day. Lily is really going to miss him. He is excited about the fact that he gets to ride the school bus and that he gets to take a blanket and a pillow to school for quiet time. He saw the playground equipment and asked what it was for. I told him it was for recess and he told me recess was going to be his favorite thing to do at school. Isn't that true of everyone? I signed him up for summer school. It starts the last week of May and goes for three weeks. The scary and good part is that it is all day long, to help get him ready for school in the fall. I hope I can handle it. I mean I hope he can handle it!

Donuts

I took a donut quiz and this is what kind of donut I am:

You Are a Glazed Donut

Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that. You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness. Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you. And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten.

What Donut Are You?

Seriously!

Really, enough is enough!!!! Skyler has an ear infection again. Tuesday night he was acting so crabby and refused to eat his dinner. We made him go to bed, it was 6:15. He actually did go to bed without much of a fight. I should have known something was off. Wednesday morning, he woke up with an ear ache and a fever. No trip to Bounce U for play date, instead a trip to the doctor's office. He has an ear infection in the same ear as last month-what gives. So after a lot of rest yesterday, he finally came back to life enough last night to play with his sissy and eat a pretty good dinner. Then what happens, you ask? He woke up this morning at 6 o'clock vomiting and has been ever since. No school today. No fun lunch with Jonathan. This afternoon is Kindergarten roundup. I guess I will be going by myself. Bummer! I don't know what the heck is wrong with my two constantly sick boys, but I SERIOUSLY have had it!!!

She's just so cute!

Skyler's Spiky Hair

Skyler just had to have his hair like this the other day. He wanted me to capture it and put it on my blog- his words.

Well I did it.

I decided to cancel my online craft website. I hadn't sold anything, hadn't even gotten an inquiry about anything, so I thought it was time to move on. I am thinking about selling some things on Etsy. I have heard such great things about it. Will keep you posted!
