Monday, we went to a pajama pancake breakfast with our Pta friends.
The kids made Valentine cards for homeless kids.
Asher's smile was a little intense. Lol
SG is learning to write her name!!!
Stopped to try and find a rope for our new tree swing.
SG had her first real playdate!! That top right pic, she is driving a car to Coronation Day (from Frozen). The videos I took are hysterical!
Then we rode bikes to the park.
Zach made friends with some kids who brought bows/arrows to the playground.
Tuesday (yesterday) was even better!
Cleaned the house, washed all the laundry. I made new chore charts and now the two little ones get to put away their own laundry.
Clean sinks and toilets. Then I made cookies from scratch, and actually made up the very very yummiest cookies. (Really. It will now be known as Sarah's Secret Sugar Cookie Recipe.)
Zach had a great morning. He asked me to gel his hair and blow dry it so that it stayed side-swept. We chatted while I made his breakfast and lunch. We got to school right on time.
Asher is now sleeping awesome in his new toddler bed (it took a couple nights of training and exhaustion), so he had an awesome nap. He's a total pistol half the time, but he has the most adorable personality that you can't help but love him. After I get ready, he is always there with a sweet compliment. "Mommy you look pretty." And during ballet, we were watching a movie in the car and I was reading a book. I had my hand on his leg. He says, "Mommy, you're so sweet." He's so so excited about his upcoming birthday. I just love that kid!!!
SG is my sweet shadow lately. Everything I ask her to do is "do YOU do that Mommy?" She wants to be exactly like mommy. And has also requested some matching outfits, which I need to figure out. Her new short haircut upset her, since Mommy has long hair, but I promise her daily that it will grow. Every morning while she eats breakfast, I brush her hair. It's a special time for both of us. I love making her feel pretty and special. Getting ready to go somewhere is an ever as we go back and forth on the outfit and hairbow she'll wear. I might joke about the hassle, but I actually love that time with her, helping her be independent, but right there to help her. She asks my advice and I try to respect her final outfit choices. (Haha.) Yesterday was ballet, and she loves getting all ready. The monogrammed leotard, new tights, and of course a pretty ballet bun.
We made it to ballet on time. Everyone ate their lunch. Zach had a play date after school. We stopped to watch a cheer class that SG might join. Our crockpot dinner ended up not being ready, so I threw together something that the kids loved. They all are at this AWESOME AGE where everyone can get their pajamas on (mostly), can all brush their teeth, and can all wait in bed for me to make the rounds of reading and kisses and hugs. It takes an hour, but what a blessed way to end my day.
Now I'm only 3 hours into today, andI didn't wake up in time to work out, I've had a huge argument with zach about his attitude, promised Asher a batman shirt that wasn't ready in time for school (he cried!), we were late to school, and I just ate several cookies.
I am so thankful that it's a school day so I can get my act together.
