My better half

Being a stay at home mom {one who happens to be in school too} is not always easy but then again it's not all that bad.

The best thing is that I am my own boss. If I don't feel like putting my laundry away-so what! But I know it will be there waiting for me the next.

Even with the rough days of whiny kids, no naps, meltdowns during dinner prep, endless messes, feeling like a broken record and being a human burp cloth at times there are so many things that i do not worry about.

Why do I not worry you wonder because of my husband. Honestly, I don't give him enough credit. Not only does he work, he plays with the kids, pays all of our bills, plans for our future, and is Mr. mom when I am away.

Our roles are so diverse that on a typical day it makes it hard to compare them; home, food and shelter vs. nurturing, cleaning, nap nazi, reading, cooking, and crafts. All I know is that I complain much more than he does and tend to expect maybe more than I should but recently I realized that his roles are just as important, if not more {because really if he didn't bring home the $ who's going to pay for the fabric I just bought to make little ties?} I like to think that we compliment each other nicely and I love it when he says that he couldn't live without me. Truth is I couldn't really live without him.

Moral of the story; I am grateful for my man and all that he does for ME.



Messy



With Cait by my side I was mixing a brownie mix and I let down my guard for a second and the next thing I knew, Cait was thoroughly enjoying the spatula! Seems to be the story of mydays lately, it's hard to get anything done!

Creating Fire

At joy school Friday, Carson came home with a plastic magnifying glass. As soon as Andrew saw it he took Carson outside for what Carson now calls "a mean trick."



Carson was so excited...he carried that magnifying glass EVERYWHERE that day, barely setting it down. Currently, it is in his "special drawer" for safe keeping.
