Please excuse me while I keep changing the look of my blog - I am trying to figure out what I like...and not really sure what I am doing.... hopefully I can find a layout and style I like soon and stick to it.
That is a quote that David loves from one of the kid’s Veggie Tale’s movies….
Here’s what Ezra did in literally 2 minutes, while I walked away and talked to my Doctor’s office on the phone. (I checked my phone because it happened so quick – I wanted to know how long I had walked away from him) We were water color painting….
So I was doing well to get something in most everyday, but something happened and I haven't had a chance until now.
Today:
I am thinking... about the business...do we take weddings back to back with no free weekends? And do we continue to keep giving people discounts just to get a wedding when the whole goal this year is to get out of debt? If we give a discount then we have to do two weddings instead of just one...and the cycle of our busy busy lives continues on and on.....what to do, what to do? I am stressed out!
From the Kitchen...made the kids Rice Crispy Treats today for the first time with Mickey Rainbow Colored Rice Crispy's....They didn't eat them the first pass, but then when it was nap time, all of a sudden that is all they wanted! =o)
I am hoping... to make some valentine cookies for the kids later tonight as well as some home-made valentines. PRIORITY! =o)
Confession Corner: I really don't like to be criticized, even if it IS constructive criticism...it always makes me immediately mad and defensive - however I ALWAYS listen to criticism and most always change because of it.
Something Funny: Araya recently has started giving me Blow Kisses on my cheek - she moves my cheek so it is how she needs it, blows, then leans back to see my reaction. She just thinks she's so funny! =o)
To Remember: When Ezra was a baby - before Araya, we would go get him out of his crib in the mornings when he woke up and bring him to bed with us so we could sleep a little longer. He would snug in and sleep with us, then he would wake up and babble at us trying to wake us up. For a period of time, he would lean over (every morning) find my arm and BLOW! =o) He did this every morning and if I had long sleeves on he would push up my sleeves until he found my arm and give me blow kisses. =o) A week or so before Araya was born we stopped bringing him into bed with us, and would just let him play in his bed....since we knew things would be changing. He occasionally gets to come lay with us in the morning but he is FAR too loud and too awake for any cute cuddling or quiet moments. Usually, when the kids are awake - they are AWAKE! I don't know how I ended up with two VERY active morning kids - when I am in NO way a morning person! =o)
A picture I am sharing:
We got Ezra a TOUGH KID camera for his Birthday and this is one of the photos off of it. We decided to return the camera. It's not as easy as we thought it would be for him, and he's still a bit young for it. Making the money we spent on it not even close to worth it! =o)We'll try again when he's older. =o)
Today's thoughts....Outside my window...It's sunny and in the 50's!!! I am thinking...about finances, and taxes, and debt and money and finances BLAH!I am thankful for...a SAVIOR who provides for us even when we screw up.I am hearing...Araya in bed- she just woke up, She's standing in the corner of her crib saying "Moommmy....all dooonne!" =o)I am hoping... we get lots of weddings this year to help us get out of debt once and for all.One of my favorite things...Eating out..I am creating...Lansford book - will finish by tonight and will also finish some engagement photos - will probably post those on our Business blog later tonight or tomorrow.Confession Corner: I have really really fine hair, so I don't really shave my legs every day in the winter, cause I don't feel any different and my legs are covered with pants - well I decided I HAD to shave them today when I looked down at my ankles and realized I had VISABLLY hairy legs! GROSS!Something funny: The other day when I was out with the kids I saw a car with the License plateGO RND ME --- I sped up a little so I could see who drove this car and sure enough - a little old lady who could barely see over the steering wheel! =o) Totally made me chuckle! Now, did she order that special plate herself or was it her kids? HA!To Remember: Araya has been putting a lot of words together and saying small sentances for a couple months now, but on Sunday Araya put together the words No and Mama.... With " No Mama" And I thought - wow - is it time for those words already? She'll be 2 next month. She doesn't say it too demanding, more like "Noo? Mama?" (In other words - No, what were you thinking? I don't want to wear my coat outside" "No, Mama, I don't really want to go to bed now...don't you know?)
Outside my window...It is still freezing but is warmer than yesterday at 21 degrees
I am thinking...that if Ezra continues to cry when I drop him off at his new preschool, I may not keep taking him.
I am thankful for... Ezra is now sleeping like a normal human being in his bed. We put his bed coming straight out of the wall instead of up against it. He was sleeping sideways and crammed into one end of the bed, but now that it's not up against the wall he HAS to sleep long ways with his head on the pillow and his legs under the blankets.
From the kitchen...Cream of Wheat I shared with Araya
I am creating...a new book for a couple from last summer that just now got me their list.
I am reading...http://www.titus2atthewell.com/
I am hearing...Araya cry in her bed...sometimes she wakes up early from a nap because she poops and it wakes her up - and will sometimes go back to sleep.
I am hoping...Araya will go back to sleep so I can go do the dishes.
One of my favorite things...is that Araya ALWAYS says Thank-you when you give her something ALWAYS - very endearing.
Something funny...Ezra called Araya 'Baby Grace" the other morning. =o) He definately understands Grace is part of her name.
To remember...I measured the kids feet yesterday, (Ezra 3 - Araya 22 months) and they both have the same size feet. (between 5 and 6) TINY.
Here is a picture I am sharing...
SO UNFAIR!
Blowing Kisses!I have so much to write about and too little time - maybe if I was more consistant...
