This Weeks Reasons to Smile

It was a semi Quiet week.

That alone is reason to Smile!!!

Gummy Bears, I love them. Maybe a little too much.....

A bag of chocolate straight from Switzerland. I have a friend who lives there and I took her families pictures this week. She brought me a little prize, YUMMMMMM!

Oooh, Are we noticing a pattern here?

Got all 5 of my kids who need swim lessons enrolled with a private teacher. Maybe this year I won't panic every time a water activity comes our way.

My Hubby was home every morning this week and helped me tons. He even got some yard work done.

We had cousins over to play today. That makes me and my kids smile.

Some times it's easier to babysit or have company, than to not. I love when my kids are happy to just play.

Got my nails done.

No doctors appt's. Wild thing did have play therapy but they came to us this time.

Finally got a meeting set up with the principal and Miss M's kindergarten teacher about what we are doing next year.(long story)

Getting to hear this sweet girls speech improve every day,

even if it means she NEVER lets up on her story telling. If I did not know better, I would have sworn I gave birth to her. I did the same thing to my Mom and I am afraid I still do it to some of my friends. Sorry ladies......

Now I am headed in to the other room, gummy bears in hand, where I have my kiddos set up in their jammie's with their popcorn. We are having a family date night minus Dad. The movie is ready to start

see ya.........

Things to SMILE About

This Week has been so nice!!

Lots to SMILE about.

My boys finally got hair cuts from Dad. If you could have seen Lightnings crazy morning hair you would have been begging me to finally to get it done.

Easter and family and how fun it is to get together on holidays. We host the Easter fun at our house.

Look at my nieces and nephews aren't they cute?

Oh those eyes.....

Such sweet Sisters

Hey, I know, more pics but at least I spared you more pics of my kids this time:))

Finding a replacement phone for cheap. (See prev. post)

Being able to actually go on a field trip with one of my kids. It rarely happens. It is quite the scheduling and chasing nightmare. I am glad I made the effort. Sissy and I had a great time together at the zoo!!

THANK YOU, KayDee and MB for watching the rest of the crew so I could take Sissy.

An understanding Husband who has not said a cross word or given me any grief about losing my phone.

Being done with all our parenting classes for the year which we need to have to renew our license.

Finding out I can call our lawyer and get the ball rolling for an actual court date.

Did you know my Wild Thing can finally mimic his prayers I help him out with every night. Almost word for word. So Sweet!!!!

I Have a Blog??

No I have not joined FB, so that's not the reason I have not been blogging. I have been buried in house projects and life in general. Even if you not interested here is what I have been doing.

Lightning and Bubba got a new bedroom set. I love that it is a desk, dresser, and two beds all in one. Lightning is hiding on his top bunk. The rooms are not not all the way done yet but you get the idea. These boys room has a surfer/beach theme and I have not figured out how to finish it off yet.

Here's the girls room. They are all three together. Little H has been missing out on some fun girl bonding time and I want all three of them to be close, not just Miss M and Sissy. This room is going to get a Mary Engelbreit make over as soon as I can cheaply find what I am looking for. Until then it's hodge podge. Can you see it, the yellow bunk beds, green walls and all things black red and polka dotted? I am going to have a few pics I've taken of them put on canvas and hung above their beds.

This is Wild thing's room which also doubles as the play room and home theatre. Yep we do it up fancy around here. It works and now they have more space to play. The walls were pink before and it was Miss M and Sissy's room. Let's face it, I am not a pink girl and never have been. I thought I could take it but I couldn't. So along with rearranging all three children's rooms in my house I painted over the pink. I had help My friend M came over and because Layne was working, my brother Nelson came and did all the man work. I even got the garage semi organized in order to store the crib and bed we took down to make room for our much needed changes.


Here we are this morning chilling to the Little Einsteins. I hardly post pics of me on my blog and when I do it's me in my not even jammie's clothes with no make up. Nice huh? My husband thought he was funny taking these shots. Thanks Little H for covering 1/2 of Mommy's face.

I did not get time to get my SMILE list in but, all these changes make me smile and so does all the time we spent as a family this weekend. Mondays are Daddy's day off and we had fun spending it with him. Now I am trying to find low cost fun things to do for spring break coming up so if you have any ideas, let me know.
