School Christmas Parties

Ethan's class party was first. They did a breakfast buffet and a puzzle gift exchange.

It's always fun to see the boys in their classrooms and how they interact with everyone.

Friends!

The reading corner.

Time to open presents.

In between the class parties, we had Wyatt's Cub Scouts party too.

Wyatt got to sit on Santa's lap, where he got his derby car for their upcoming races. If only I could have gotten them all on Santa's lap...

The next day it was Wyatt and Jack's class parties.

Wyatt and all the 1st grader had carroling in the gym, followed by cookies in the cafeteria.

Silly boys!

Finally ended the parties with Jack's 5th grade How The Grinch Stole Christmas themed party.

Crafting away.

Another ornament to add to my collection!!

The perfect way to get into the spirit of the season!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Last Days of Summer Vacation

I'm back...it's been a crazy past few weeks but then what's new. We were dealing with tummy issues for the boys last week and after spending each cleaning up the messes all I could bring myself to do at night was lay on the couch! On top of that, I've been working out 3 days a week for an hour and a half at a time and that has been wearing me out. Oh, and I've started a new business selling Willow House so my free time has been limited. But I've been enjoying it and a happy mama makes for a happy family! Now we're enjoying our last day of summer vacation before Jack starts Pre-K tomorrow, which is the equivalent to what kindergarten was for me back in the day. Jack is excited to get back to school and see his friends and learn "big kid stuff," and I'm excited to get our routine started for the school year. Plus Daddy should be home on Thursday and that will help tremendously! I can't believe he's been gone almost two years. It wi...

My Week

Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left. I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan. We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!! And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose. Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge. Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy. He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped. I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin. I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER. But the last th...
