Time FLIES!!!!

Must been having fun! I have been looking back over my old blogs and I cant believe how my oldest was so little and how much he has grown. In January He will turn 10! 10!? where has the time gone??? In the ten years as a mother I seen and done stuff I said I was not going to do. Well like everyone else things happen and when your back is against the wall you do what you have to.

We have played Soccer, tried Basketball, Played Baseball, done swim lessons, Went to soccer camp, Went to day-camp and still will be more! Keeps this momma busy! I love it!

Well just another week!

Well after last week this one seems slow. Last week was parents teacher conferences and book fair. Both boys and good conferences. Stuff we have to work on and things that their teachers recommend. I was impressed with how both teachers have gotten to know the boys for who they are. They both are very active boys and their teachers have ideas for each of them to help them in their classroom that might work well for the boys and help them with learning. Now the book fair! Well I was there to help my sister, who is a booster trustee, run the book fair. We spent lots of time at the school and I think it was a pretty darn good book fair! I love to get to see the love of reading that the kids show when they come in and see all the books and they just get so excited and want them all. They can't wait for their parents to come in and see all the books that the love and want to get. As a booster mom I try to help the parent with ideas and help them with the wish lists that the kids made. I for one was able to get a book that my oldest wanted for Christmas. Well he just found it and wants to read it. Dang it I can't keep anything a Secret!  Oh well he still can't have it until Christmas! Rotten kid!  Ok well that about all! Hey if you stop by say hi!!!

Well Just Another Moday....

Well today wasn't to bad for a Monday. As a FM (family Manager) I try to do volunteering at the local schools here. I really believe that the help I can give might help someone else and change the world for them. I love to see the kids and the smiles on their faces when they know who I am and that I am there for them and to help. Well this week is the book fair at my oldest school. This school only has 4th and 5th grades in the building. It was the student preview day and they come down to make their wish lists. Boy did we see it all today. I know that my boys might act up and get crazy. By all means they are not perfect, but the way some of these kids acted today just astounds me.  One little boy told us that "books are over rated!" really!? over rated! so my resounds was that that was his opinion he didn't have to look. But over all it was a good day for me as a Booster mom!

Now for the youngest He had a great day! He is the VIP in his class and well I can say it has kind of gone to his head. But if that keeps him in a good mood and that we don't have any meltdowns, then we are good. His teacher said it was a great day!!!  lets just hope it continues for the rest of the week!

Well Happy Monday!

Getting back at it!!

Well here I sit trying to give this blogging thing a try again. A lot has changed since my last post. and Life has gotten a lot more crazy then before. My boys ( all 3) keep me busy. My oldest is in 4th grade and is really learning to push the limits and of course there are a lot that this momma need to work on. Have some homework of my own to do. My youngest is 6 and in the 1st grade. We work hard at trying to keep him on his schedule so life doesn't get any crazier then it already is.

As it gets colder out and the night come earlier it sometimes seems to make for long days with the kids inside more. I am going to really try to stop and just enjoy every moment. Like this afternoon after church our nieces come home with us for a little bit while their had to run a do some work stuff, but anyways. The kids had gotten out some Dora dominos and wanted to play. So what did it do I just got right down there and played a few games of dominos with the boys and girls. Of course the house needed my attention, but it always does, but just for a few moments I stopped and just gave my undivided attention to those kids. The kids that I see everyday that are growing up way to fast before my eyes! We had so much fun and I was able to teach them a new game. I cant wait for more moments like this. I cant wait any longer or they wont be there!
