Just life

I haven't posted for quite awhile, life has been so busy and I am finding it harder and harder to do the things I enjoy or would like to do. I have been very preoccupied latley! I have been busy with kids, kids, and kids! Which I love! I was one of those that as a child loved to play "house" and I am living my childhood dream. Only I didn't know it was this demanding. The house work and shopping of course are never ending. I got a poem the other day and it lists all the things that we do and sometimes are expected to do. It is quite long or else I would post it. But it's amazing all that we can accomplish, and all these little things add up tp be HUGE! But the poem forgot a few things, and I think it's a little outdated. It missed things like mowing the lawn, and - blogging! It is such a good poem, maybe I will change my mind and post it someday. I have been busy helping with Hayden's pre-school class. I also volunteered to help in Dusty's class and at parent teacher conferences his teacher explained to me that she hasn't put me on the schedule because I have a baby and the next time I open my eyes she'll be all grown up, and she wants me to enjoy my little ones. And she's right! I hardly have a baby anymore. But I would love to have Dusty see me in his classroom, but then again would I even have time for it? I am learnig to like my calling in YW more and more. But it too has to compete for a piece of my time. Time is very precious, and there is never enough of it. Today feel kinda like a mini-vacation, I get to stay home and get caught up on a few things. And I have time to blog-yea! So I thought I'd post a little about what we have been up to. Chris is staying busy at work, he works hard and spends many late nights at the office. Dusty is doing so well in school, his teacher said she wishes she had a classroom full of Dustys. She said he shines and he shines VerY bRIgHTlY. I of course already knew that! He is a very good student, and a very good son as well. He has many friends, as I walk him to and from school, kids of all ages are always yelling "Hi Dusty". There are NO worries with this boy! He also just finished his 1st season of flag football. He thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Hayden loves preshool (and so do I!). He has the best teachers this year, it has made all the difference from last year. I love to be in his classroom, the ladies there are wonderful, and it is a great place to be. I feel so lucky to have my son be in the class that he is in. He has several good friends there and he too is such is good student. He is making good progress! He still cracks me up. Some of the latest things I thought were cute are: he made a comment about how I don't love him at night. And I said, "Yes I do!" And he asked, "You love me even when you are sleeping?" And he always says the cuteset thing to Kyrie. The other day he said, "Kyrie, I remember what you told me, you promised that you would always love me." What a sweetie! And Kyrie - what a fun little girl. Maybe she is the reason why I feel so busy. She goes from one thing to the next, dumping and pulling out every single thing she can onto the floor. She is quite the little mess maker. She will soon be walking, she is getting more and more stable every day. She loves to giggle for her brothers, which adds so much joy to our home. She made her dads day recently when she cried to see him heading out the door to go to work! She is growing faster than imaginable. Just this morning she stood up and pulled my water mug off my nightstand, and it had spilled. As I walked into the room she had that look like she was in trouble. Not that she has ever been in trouble before, but having her respond like that was another sign that she is not my little baby! We have a little girl now, sometimes as she is sleeping I can cradle her and pretend she is a baby. I've got to face the fact that my baby is growing up, that is what happens and there is nothing I can do about it. But I guess it doesn't matter how little or big she is, Kyrie is Kyrie no matter what her size. I am just so glad to have her!
We have the cutest little pirates at our house, so stay tuned for some pictures! We started celebrating our Halloween a week ago, but there is much more to come. I love this time of year!
