Still Alive...

I know it's been a while since I put anything new up. Just so you know, I didn't drop off the face of the earth. I have two kids is all. We've all been taking turns being sick and whatnot. But before the sickness gods rained down on us, we had fun last week when Matt had 3 days off for fall break. We went to a "pumpkin patch" that was really more like a fair, we rearranged our back room and bought a futon (hint hint--I have somewhere to sleep for anyone that wants to come visit now), and Ava and Matt went on a daddy/daughter date to the zoo. So here's a whole mess of pictures of the darlings.

Mother of the Year, But Only for a Day

Last Friday I was a successful mother. We got up and Ava and I played with her train tracks and blocks while Moses practiced his scooting. When Moses was ready for a nap I rocked and sang him to sleep instead of just putting him in his bed. Then Ava and I made Halloween cookies and had lunch. During her nap I got the house cleaned up and a shower too! Then when the kids woke up we had Kaydee and her mom come over for a tea party. Then we all played outside for a couple hours because the weather was gorgeous.
It's just not that often I feel like I am spending enough time with both my kids and getting the things done that I need to do. But I'm workin' on it..........and every so often I do something right.
