I'm still here

Last week was long.......really long. For so many reasons. This week thus far is off to a much better start. However things have not slowed down. Kennedy is at preschool and I am soaking up these few hours of "only one small child" to get many things done. Including a blog update! Laundry is hanging on the line outside. Laundry is going in the dryer. Laundry is going in the washer. I am up to my ears in it. I only do it once a week and today is my day. Gentry is sifting through Dana's Jaguar books from school (she is like a magnet to them??? there might be a car profession in her future too) and Doodlebops are playing on the t.v. The wind is ROARING outside.....which totally ruins outside time but dries the laundry really fast! Kids just don't like to wear hoods over their ear infection prone ears when it is warm outside. Right now it is a huge struggle to even keep shoes and socks on our youngest outside for longer than 5 minutes.

Speaking of our youngest.......she is wonderful, talking a ton and sooo smart. She now can say some of the "Our Father" prayer some of the ABC's and the other day she counted to 10 all on her own w/ no prompting. We did not know she could do this! Her sister can get the credit for making her so smart and "talkative"! And she is still getting into everything. Unrolling the toilet paper, dunking toothbrushes in the toilet, unfoldling folded laundry in the baskets, bathing her baby dolls in the bathroom sink and this one is the latest...........

Unrolling the whole container of my GOOD expensive floss.

I really do pay attention to my children and try to monitor what they are doing. But if I do it every second of every hour of every day no one would get fed and the laundry would never get done. So I have to pick my battles.

This weekend is going to be a big one here. Leslie and Deric get married on Saturday!!! So momma's going to throw on her red dress, daddy his handsome tux and Kennedy is going to grab that basket and throw those flowers! We can't wait for their big day and to see all of our family!!!!
