Happy Unbirthday!

Okay, so today was an interesting day. My kids have been doing totally awesome with getting ready in the mornings for school, even to the point of getting all ready even before I get out of bed. It's so amazing how cooperative they are. So today they got ready and had so much time left over before school that they decided to plan a party together. They all three worked together to come up with games to play, make special party hats, etc. It was so cute to watch them work so well together.

After the big kids went off to school, and Faith was done with her swimming lessons, her and I took a trip to the dollar store and purchased some cheap party stuff like balloons, streamers, candy, etc., to make their party really special and fun. (Oh, I forgot to mention that they planned on inviting all of their imaginary friends). LOL!

Needless to say, when I picked them up from school they were so elated that I had remembered about their plan and was totally for it. We ended up with four neighbor kids and one little friend from school that came to our "unbirthday party." The kids really had a blast, and honestly so did I. I didn't even mind the noise too much. This is definitely something we'll have to do again! Bye for now!

We're back!!!

Finally! I can't believe it has been over a month since I last posted. That's absolutely ridiculous. I am going to throw out a challenge to us all to see if we can post at least once a week. That goes for everybody!! Starting now. Daily is definitely too much, but there is no reason why we can't carve out 10 minutes once a week to update everyone on our lives.

Well, now that that's settled (and 5 of my 10 minutes is used up), I will try to very quickly update on the latest. Now that the holidays are over and the weather is so freakin yucky, my kids have been going completely stir crazy. Therefore, I have enrolled Noah and Hannah in some martial arts classes and Hannah and Faith will also be doing gymnastics. I am hoping that these activities will help all the kids with some discipline issues as well as provide them with some different ways to use up their energy other than picking on each other at home. I know, I know, all I can do is hope, right? So that's where we're at with the kiddos these days.

Additionally, we have been working on some more remodeling around the house as of late. Well actually it's more of just a never ending project around here, I guess. The pics posted here are of the downstairs bathroom. Newly primed, textured, and painted a pretty beigy color. I love it. Of all people, I know Morgan would appreciate this considering that this was her bathroom all last summer. For those of you who don't know this, the former color was a very, very bright blue. We are extremely excited to be rid of it, let me tell ya.

Well, that's all I have time for for the moment. Once again, I challenge you all to post at least once a week. Let's get reconnected people.
