    Hello 2014

    No Comments

    It’s a new year! 2014. Remember in school when you would write the date on every paper and the whole month of January you’d be fixing the 94 to 95 or whatever year it was… will our kids have those same memories? and remember when time passed so slowly and 1 week could feel like an eternity? I’d pay good money for time to slow down or to have more hours in a day like I did as a kid…
    Remember that week that I didn’t do any house work beyond the dishes and daily pick up? I played with the kids more and read more to the kids and built my lego haunted house and exercised and I spent time holding my sweet baby. This was a GREAT week. Luckily the kids have cleaned the bathrooms so I’m not feeling to far behind. Maybe if I had money for a maid service life could always be this enjoyable 🙂

    It’s been a good start to the year. I have set goals and I’m actually doing a lot of them (reading with kids, (especially Packer) chore chart. eat healthier. exercise. plan and make dinners. scripture study.) Organized Chaos is better than just plain chaos 🙂

    We got to see my sister Tracie and her family! Alaska is far away. I’m glad they make visiting family a priority.

    the boys got caught in this 2 minute hail storm on their walk home from school. I felt like a mean mommy.
