Something Light 11-7-11


Something Light

It seems that light and fluffy fairs much better, so I think I will stick with that for awhile . Today Landon had the day off from school. I secretly LOVE my Mondays bc it is just me and Everett and Noah and we don't go anywhere and I get a lot done and I pour alone time into Noah...and it is always refreshing. So I was unsure how this was going to go. I love it when Landon has a day off, but my boys are in this awful stage where they like to argue EVERY.SINGLE.SECOND. But when I woke up, they were playing legos together in their room. And by mid morning they had covered the living room floor in white towels and couch cushions and were dancing and sledding in a winter wonderland. They were both full of that Christmas feeling...you could just tell. They even bribed me to let them listen to Christmas music for an hour or so. Even Everett got into the fun...he loved the snow world. Then they cleaned up nicely and finished the morning playing the wii together. Tonight we are going to have dinner. I am going grocery shopping, and then I am declaring family game night. Landon has tomorrow off of school too so we don't have to do the usual crazy, hurried routine of weeknights. Aww...I love breaks.

What else? Hmmm. My baby is nine months old. NINE! How did that even happen? He is creeping on furniture, eating almost everything (and anything), and waves hi and bye. He loves life, loves his brothers, lights up for his dad, and fairly beams when he catches sight of his mama. Not that I am bragging. Life is busy with three. But it has become our new normal and we are adjusting. Teaching is going phenomenally well. I am learning to say no to somethings. And last week I made a big step in admitting that I can't do everything. And we are getting there. Little by little. Together.
