Growth Report

Well the Peanut had an endocrin appt Fri and I am glad to report we still avoided growth hormones. However, even though she grew an inch in 6 months, she still fell from the 5th to the 3rd percentile. The doctor told us she would need them at some point. Ugh. Please pray for her to keep growing :-)

New Years Resolutions

So I am checking back in on my News Years resolutions. 1) Get up and eat breakfast with my husband - Well I am glad to report I am starting to get back on track with this one and I like having that time before the kids get up. 2) Eat less sweets - bad day to report, I just ate about 1000 Easter M&M's 3) Love the dog more, I have given up on this one, he drives me crazy - I will say some prayers, he is seeming to need more attention in his old age but could he at least leave Abby's sandwich alone and stay out of my bedroom????

I either have a nervous stomach about speaking on Sunday or I ate too many M&M's, ugh.

Easter

I love Easter for lots of reasons but I have reached a point in my life where I mostly love it for the worship. Our worship this year was beautiful, the church looked lovely with butterflies the children decorated and Easter lilies, a special festival choir performed and sounded like a choir of angels, our pastor knocked his sermon out of the park (and with the bouncy ball prop he used....right up to the ceiling), and the church was packed more than usual. It was great to see all of the people there knowing they too were there because it was a special day. It's times like those that all doubt falls away and that my eyes well up with tears at what the Savior has done for me. Like our pastor said, Christ's death and resurrection is more exciting than your baseball team winning the world series, definitely a "WOOHOO!!!!" moment. 

Pet peeve of the year

Kids in the bathroom with me. A girl just needs some alone time in there. 

Kid Stuff

Last night we took the kids to the park. We played catch with Toby and we flew a kite. Abby and I really had it going for a while. After dinner we died Easter eggs, a first for them. It is so fun to do kid stuff with them now that they are getting bigger. Today I felt bad we did a lot of running around but they helped me clean the basement and stuff Easter eggs. They are getting to be good helpers. Sometimes I feel guilty about not doing learning or quality activities with them more often but at least we are always doings things together. It's really fun doing kid stuff too though. We will catch up on the "learning" in May/June when I start trying to get Abby to potty train, lol.

Busy Month

Well April is going to be busy, busy. MOPS has several things going on, we are gearing up for VBS, and I have a stack of BOH work to do. It's all good things but when I try to think about it all at once I get a little overwhelmed. Of course when you are busy you feel like a slacker at your most important roles in life too. 

I have been sleeping better and talking to my husband about it helps too. I just have to let God prioritize for me and only do things (think about things) that are supposed to be done TODAY. There are a lot of fun things coming though and I am excited.  

Coffee is to adults as....

chocolate milk is to kids. They sniff it out, crave it, and are addicted to it.
