Swimmy dreams

My mother had the girls today. She brought them home and they were asleep. E woke up and requested her swimmy suit and fell back to sleep. This is really when hits me, with her laying looking bigger than ever beside her sister.  She is getting so big. There will be a big decision to make next year and I’m still struggling with it. I really need to look within myself for the answer and maybe give myself a little credit for the positive things.

Water, face plants and sleeping babes

 Melon/Cucumber infused water. Getting my kids to drink water is a big issue so I thought I would try something different. So far they love the infused water I’ve been making. Here is where I found some great combinations.

Oh dear

I am not an organizer and I am not a planner by nature I feel out of sorts when I try to get my days scheduled. I would like to be a bit more organized and plan out my days with the girls so cheers to slowly starting that venture (I may kick and scream through it all). Today I actually printed out weekly schedules (unbelievable) and it felt good. We found templates for our schedule here. . I also printed out crafting alphabets, who doesn’t like cutting and gluing? Also, the girls were crafty on their own today and did a load of laundry....in the toilet (which I sort of documented in this photo) neither of them wanted to look at me. I still love them ^__^

Bursting from within

I’ve never been the one to delve into uncharted territories. I’ve always allowed myself to be rushed along with life’s familiar currents. Why this year…my thirty sixth year of life that I’ve finally decided to break out of this eggshell and possibly thrust myself into the unknown? Whatever the reason, I feel something has awakened me, something I cannot explain. In the past waking up was not without a barrage of worried thoughts and uncertain feelings about life in general…and that for me was the standard. My mornings have transformed recently…these moments are now are still, I can feel a growth without overwhelming thoughts to consume my mind and it feels like I’m bursting with life at the seams. There will always be rough patches but for now I think I’ll bask in this feeling, close my eyes and just let it be.

The morning after

Both of the girls woke up with fever this morning of course we all know that immunizations can cause this and it never fails....the girls always get sick after. Ever was up until four in the morning and was just so upset about nothing at all. On the bright side, we all got to sleep in. There is something about Ever when she is sick; she keeps up her normal pace of lightning fast. We went for doughnuts and the morning went by blissfully slow. We even popped by our favorite thrift stop and found some things we didn’t know we needed. While I love the moments I get of sweet silence, I think about next year, I think of five and suddenly I could care less about quiet. I am pretty sure I’m leaning towards the unthinkable…homeschooling Ever. I say unthinkable because I know I will get some type of criticism from others but really this isn’t about them is it? I have so much research to do before next August and I want to make sure I feel completely happy about either road we choose to take. I do know this, learning arithmetic and sounds of letters under a tree in our backyard sounds completely doable.
