Well.. long time no write huh
Well.. long time no write huh? The old blog gets put on the back burner along with the laundry when art camp comes around. I can only do so much it seems.
Life in this blessed house is going great at the moment. I have been working out (on program) for four weeks now and can really see the changes in my mind and body. It is amazing to me how so much of this is mental. I had decided to refuse to look almost 40 .. which you know is getting closer and closer every year. I got the body for life for women book from the library and if you havent you MUST get it and read it.. so good. I can tell I am a different person when I am in "training" it relieves stress, makes you stronger (which helps with taking care of the kids etc) and of course increases your self image. If you havent worked out today.,.. do something, break a sweat.. you will be better for it! and so will your family!
Over the past few weeks lots has been happening around here. Our anniversary came and went. (15 years!)
Wow.. I still cant believe its been that long. Time goes by so fast! I am just so thankful for such a wonderful husband and friend. I am soooo blessed! We celebrated a few days early and went to see Star Wars and out to dinner. Had a GREAT time.
We finally got our flower beds finished in the front and side yards, mulched and everything. It looks so much better and feels great to be able to cross that off our list of to dos! Our garden is going good, tomatoes are growing bigger and I will have them out my ears in a few weeks I am sure. (homemade spaghetti sauce yum!)
I had a week of art camp last week. I had 11 kids (not including my own). We studied the renaissance. It was great. The kids painted their own frescos, made their own relief sculptor and built their own eatable domes. We studied Michelangelo, Leonardo, Gioto, and others.. I love art camp but it is a lot of work and am thankful I have another week to get things back in order and ready for the next one which starts on Monday. It seems my laundry suffers the most, so I am back to trying to conquer the pile again!
The kids are doing great. Daddy got them a swimming pool for the back yard and they have really enjoyed splashing around. He also brought home a basketball goal from Cousin K and they have LOVED shooting hoops with Dad. I have still had issues with remembering some of the things the kids say and ask.. guess I need to write it down on paper so I dont forget before I blog. The main thing is they have been enjoying each other and all thier creative play is great to hear! (right now someone is aquaman, as the water turns on in the bathroom)..
Well. The house is waiting and I need to get supper planned for tonight.
I think the kids are going to play in the pool a little and I might have to stick my feet in to.. its sooo hot outside :)
