I Feel Like Superwoman!



Well I feel like her today.....if only I looked like this too! So today has been wonderfully productive.

1. I sorted through piles of crap........oh I mean clutter.

2.I paid all of my bills

3. Did 2 loads of dishes

4. Convinced Tyler to eat a turkey sandwich for lunch

5. Took out the recycleing

6. Picked up and delivered the santa photos to Brooklynn's Teacher

7. Returned some phone calls

8. Made Dinner

If only everyday I could get off my butt and get this much accomplished. Maybe now that I have written down what I am truely capable of, it will motivate me to keep it up..............hmmm only time will tell.....lol

Homework Time

Last week Tyler sat down with Brooklynn to do his first homework packet. He was so excited to be doing homework like his sister. I was amazed at how well he was able to "write" his name and to color in the lines! He is growing up to be such a BIG boy.....

A Christmas Tree for Great Grandma Reba




I thought it would be fun for the kids and I to surprise Great Grandma Reba with a christmas tree, some lights, and of course orniments. The kids loved being able to decorate it all by themselves and Grandma loved watching them. Now Grandma has a little Christmas spirit at her house and the kids got a taste of what it's like to "give".

Thanksgiving Day Feast and Fun Day

Well, I tried to do this before and lost it so here it goes again....lol
The Friday before Thanksgiving, Brooklynn's class had a feast. The cafeteria supplied the fixin's and a few mom's and I decorated. After their feast they went on to their "Fun day". That is a day for Kindergarteners who collected 25 green stickers for good behavior in the last 6 weeks. They went to stations and were able to do alot of fun activities. The other moms and I maned a station each and the kids were able to play with play-doh, paint, frost cookies, and play bingo. All the kids had a blast! Now we are on to collecting for the next "Fun Day".

Blossom Trails Pre-School






Tyler has been at his new pre-school for about a month now. I wanted to share some pictures of his classroom and a project he did there. I am very pleased with the pre-school change. He is learning so much, the other day he came up to me and said "Mom, listen to how I can count in spanish". He then counted to 8! I was sad to change schools but now I can see what a difference it has made. He really likes his teachers and looks forward to going.....at least most days!
