Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Wow has time flown by. It is hard to believe that it is mid September already. On my early morning walks, it is so evident that fall is starting to arrive. I love the crispness in the mornings, and the leaves that have fallen. There is something renewing about the change of seasons. God knew what he was doing, for sure. This past month has been so busy! Here are a few things we have been up to:
Simon turned two!!




We had a wedding, and I made Olivia's dress...yay!


And I've been crocheting like a mad woman to prepare for some craft fairs...well, maybe one.


And a preschool field trip, but that will be for another day.

What's cookin?

Oh, what a bad post. Boy, it sure hasn't been too fun around here with all of that heat! No one seems to be in a good mood. Since that post though, things have improved...maybe it's just my outlook? Or maybe we found an Aquatic Center 20 minutes away that has been fun? Anyways, maybe Olivia can whip us up something fun to eat?

This was a fun project to do!Super easy! Simon has one too (not pink cupcakes though), but he won't wear it! Sigh. Oh well,

Alone

Do you ever have one of those days where it is just bad? Nothing goes right at all. And you just feel alone? I wish I could be a little bit more light-hearted about it, but it is just getting to me. Being a stay at home mom feels so isolating sometimes. And some days (like today) I would give my right arm to go back to work. I know in the long run, I enjoy doing what I'm doing, but it is so hard. I've reached my breaking point and this heat isn't helping. I know that friends and my husband will fail me, and God is there, but right now I just want someone to talk to that understands what I'm doing. Someone who is going through the same thing I am, and that all the cooking and cleaning and mediating between fights is worth something, because these days are just blending together and parenting isn't fun. Nothing is fun right now. What I wouldn't give to just get away from it all right now.

A neglected blog...

Funny how I was hoping to keep this blog up to write down all the things I didn't want to forget of the kids. What they say, what they are doing, etc. To keep as an online diary. That didn't really go as planned. This little blog has just been forgotten. I know I need to make more time for it, because I'd like to go back and remember all those little "things". I'm so much better at reading other people's blogs.
Maybe I should just stick with small sentences for postings?

Well, since it has just been so cold outside, there hasn't been much picture taking on this end. Sad, I know. I will get to working on that as I might try to take Simon's 18 month pics since he has now started to become this kid I do not know how to handle. Going to get his pictures done somewhere is making me shudder. He has been that bad. I honestly don't know what to do with him sometimes.

I do have a few from Olivia's preschool party...it was H day, so the kids could wear hats to their party. She has been in love with anything horse/unicorn related...so this mama decided to crochet up a unicorn hat to surprise her with.






Oh how that little guy was so proud and excited to be sitting at the table with the big kids. Funny how frustrated these two make me, yet when I look at these pics my heart just melts. I think I'm trying to learn patience.
