Merry Christmas

Waiting patiently for little brothers to wake up. They are sleeping much later than normal AND there is a loud thunderstorm happening outside. How are they still sleeping??? :)

Merry Christmas!
Love, BigBoy, Curly and BooBear

Curly

This morning, Curly asked me if when he's 6, if his hair won't be curly anymore. When I told him that his hair would always be curly, he cried. He doesn't want curly hair any more. Break my curly-hair loving' heart.

His hair is beautiful. We're talking great ringlets. Great natural highlights.

He's the only one of our boys that has curly hair. My curly hair. I remember hating my hair as a kid. I'll be honest.... Last week I hated my hair in the humidity.

I knew this day would come. I didn't expect it from our barely-5-year old.

Break my momma heart!!!

Building

We are building a new house. It has been such a long time coming, but things are going and progress is finally happening. Some proof.....

Summer

I love summer! We are half way through this summer.
I love having my boys around all day!
We are having a blast around here!

I'll be honest. There are moments I long for a bit of quiet. Fewer messes. More alone time.

But, I am not ready for making daily lunches in the early morning hours. Doing nightly homework and reading library books (I like to pick out our books). Strict bedtimes, carpool lines and school uniforms can all wait a little longer.

Only 10 more summers left for BigBoy at home. It's going by WAY too fast!!!

Best day!

On the way to pick up Curly for our weekly 'Mommy-Curly' date, I picked up his best friend as a surprise. We had 'old McDonald's farm' for lunch. Then, we headed to Jumpstreet to check it out for Curly's 5th birthday party. I think it was a hit!

Tonight Daddy is taking Curly and BooBear to a birthday party. So, BigBoy and I get to have a rare date! Two dates in one day with two of my favorite boys??? How lucky can one girl get????

Cleaning

BooBear loves to clean. He gets out the vacuum daily. He gets the swifter wet cloths out and cries until I put it on the stiffer for him.
The other day at the grocery store, he cried when we left this aisle, so
I let him pick out something.
Nope, it wasn't the toy aisle......
It was the cleaning products.

Test post

Testing out a blogger app. Blog will get updated much more often if this works....

It's been too long

It has again been too long since I updated here.
So many things have happened. We have a contract on our house and close in just 10 days. We move a week after that. Life is mOving fast but it has been awesome to see God in control of all the many, many details. We are blessed!
The boys are doing well. They keep me on my toes every single day.

Curly-ism

On the way to take BigBoy to school this morning.....
Curly:  Mommy, my voice is changing.
Me:  Oh really?
Curly:  Yes. Because I am growing up.

He's 4 1/2.  WHERE does he come up with these things????
He's right though.  He is growing up way too fast for my taste!
