So this week was a bit of a jump start into what our new routine will be come January. Just me and the kids... all 4 of them, every day, doing our thing.
i loved it.
Sure i have the GREATEST hubby in the whole world who made each day start of perfectly AND end perfectly
{{{ thank you , thank you , thank you }}}
there was a lot of :
running here, or there
loading and unloading
packing snacks, lunches or planning dinner
several loads of laundry, bottles and more
a couple of oops
a few time outs
a bath for everyone & a few were lucky to get several
lots of diaper changes
FRESH cut veggies to snack on
several Christmas packages to hide
Ornament night festivities at school
and we did it
we survived, i survived, they survived, we survived. in fact we did more than just survive, we had fun.
it is a lot. and i don't want to 'minimize' our crazy schedule, but i love, just love doing my mommy duties. these are the things I am excited and grateful for. taking my kids to school, taking them to their activities and simply being a part of what they do, who they are and what makes them happy. i love our time in the car, singing, laughing, even fighting... its just moments and memories that are forever special to me. there will come a day when they don't want me there, standing at the window watching them dance or play, and there will be the day they no longer want me picking them up from school. so for now, i am fully embracing the best part of being a mom ... being there.

Very well put! You are so right, being a Mom is such a privilege (even on the fighting, screaming, time-out days). Your positive attitude is contagious! Thanks for sharing it! :)
Love your post! What a blessing it is to stay home with the kids and be apart of everything. Looks like your family is doing GREAT!
LOVE it! All the pics are precious and I still can't get over how much Isabelle looks like you!!! I agree, being a Mom is such a blessing and being THERE, all up in their buisness everyday is what makes it so fun :)
