I'm going to borrow the Friday's Fave Five post idea.
1) Wednesday we celebrated my baby boy's 5th birthday. I can't believe how fast my kiddos are growing. Each time I blink another year has gone by. And usually long before I am finished with that year! He had a nice little party and enjoyed his birthday. As proud and happy as I am for my little guy turning 5, it also reminds me that I am yet another year older, and still no wiser than the year before. *sigh* Just older and more tired!
2) Snow snow and more snow!!! Yeah!! Most of this winter we have had more fall like weather. I love fall but living in Colorado I want a good white winter. ALL WINTER! Well, last night we ended up with 7-8 inches of snow! (Could still go for more) So that means that today we spent time outside playing in the snow.
3) The great thing about planning and preparing for a party or get-together of any kind, is that the house amazingly enough gets really clean. The bad thing is that it only lasts for the short time before the party. The morning after and no sign of "clean" anywhere. Oh well, I guess I'll have my super clean house when the kids are grown and moved out! Until then, the endless battle will continue.
4) Homeschool. It has been a weird week. One that was much easier and relaxed due to not having to do the mad rush each morning to get kids up and off to school or the hectic evenings of homework (already did a whole day at school, homework not necessary) dinner and scouts or dance. Having a relaxed morning, day, and evening makes this homeschooling mama happy!
5) Hubby's new job. We have been adjusting to his new schedule and though it will take time to fully adjust it has been good for us all. The kids LOVE having him home more and in the middle of the week. Kids love it and so does mama, but it sure messes with our school routine. But that's the great thing about homeschool, we make it all work as part of our life the best way for us.
Sounds like you guys are doing great! Enjoying life as it comes with all its celebrations, frustrations & adjustments. Home school seems like the perfect fit for your family- like nothing else would work so well for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the snow. You can have it all! I'll bet it's beautiful, though.
The snow is beautiful. Until the kids are throwing it in your face and you remember just how cold it is! I'll take the snow each winter if you keep all the darn heat in the summer! :-)
Delete"Happy 5th Birthday!" ~> My son also had a Birthday this month, he however, turned 6 (So, know what your feeling). I swear seems like the older I get the faster the time fly's by. It also seems like when my oldest was growing up, the years went by slower too.
ReplyDeleteI think that is neat you live where it snows. I have only seen snow twice and it was not deep enough to really play in. We live in Florida. So, yep it's not cold much and snow? Nope, it don't happen lol!
This is a Great Blog :) Please feel free to come check mine out too!

Wow, only seen snow twice. I can't imagine going through a whole year with out having snow. Granted we are getting very little compared to years ago, but we still get some each year. In other parts of the state they have much more snow and throughout more of the year.
DeleteThanks for visiting, I have to come by and check in on your blog again.
It was a very nice birthday party for Little man. He is growing up so fast and I know that it bothers you but he really is doing a good job of his growing up! :)
