Who Would Have Thought...

Who would have thought that life would be more crazy here at home than when I was in Oklahoma helping get a wedding together and then caring for four boys 5 and under?
Not me that's for sure!
But instead of coming home and going back to my normal everyday schedule with the boys I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!
First trying to get life caught up from being gone for two weeks. Getting new phones that actually work, trying to get things unpacked (there is still plenty in the car), making a plan for the busy week ahead and then contacting everyone that I had said "let's talk when I get back." I think I will never use that phrase again!
Then Monday was helpful wife day which I love doing but I was really planning on spending the day getting unpacked and caught up on housework. When the hubby's home and we're gone the house needs some attention. But instead I loaded up the kids and drove around town for 3 hours taking pictures because the hubs just couldn't find time to get it done.  Helpful wife days occur more now that we own our own business. I'm really looking forward to the day we can hire someone.
On top of all that I spent the day today at my nephews school getting ready for summer with Aunt Kari! Yes doesn't it sounds like fun? One of the teachers said "Oh you're the mean aunt he's spending the summer with" when she introduced herself. She was teasing but now I know what ny nephew thinks of me. One day he'll be thankful and that's all that matters to me.
And the rest of the week just keeps going! I have to be up and out of the house tomorrow by 6am so I can be on time to a volunteer event, Thursday is library day and we have to go because we have books due back, and then Friday is our homeschool group meeting where we are to share our homeschool goals that I have yet to even think about. Oh, did I mention I'm the leader on Friday?
And yes in case you're wondering my weekend is packed full as well. And so is next week. And come to think of it my summer is booked solid with activities for Monkey and my nephew not including the school work we have to get accomplished. 
We will need prayers in our family for strength and quality rest. Oh and wisdom for me.

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
