Its late I Know
I know I know.. I should be in bed.. really I should.. but .. a little too much caffine and I am back on the dorm schedule.
Joel and I got to go on a date tonight and it was fun. Movie and then Olive Garden. (thanks NaNa and PawPaw for staying with the kids).
I am sitting here listeneing to everyone snore, I think even the cat and dog are snoring. It is so quiet it seems my key board is WAY to loud! I thought i would post a bit a bout what the kids have been up to
Joseph: He read 72 sight words for me today, and has a major loose tooth. He did is first chain stitch in crochet and got a bit frustrated when it took a bit of practice. He is always seems to answer some random math question quicker than I can think of the answer (usually, he definatley has a nak for math) and wakes up ready to do his bookwork right away. Tonight he fell asleep in bed with trixy at his feet. And was the first to give me a big hug when we came home tonight. He set the table at lunch today and was REAL excitted cause they got to drink 7up. He is soo excitted about skate and bowl tomorrow.
Nathan: He needed to recheck "fun with dick and jane" book today at the library cause he is only half finished with it. He has pink eye, but has no problem with getting the drops in them. He says his eyes dont even hurt. (I think he is just trying to be real tough).. He has said a few times this week "Mom, the trees and us are good for each other..." I say .. "really . how" he says "well we breath out what the trees breath in and the trees breath in what we breath out.. so we are good for each other".
Catherine: She decided to figure out how to crochet, and tonight NaNa crocheted her a purse.. she loves it! She also was excitted about the new bed skirts we bought at walmart today. And she decided that she still wants to share a room with her brothers. (I asked her again this morning if she was ready to have her own room and she decided no.. she liked being in the room with her brothers).. ahh.. sweet memories.. i know these days arent going to last forever.
The kids love being together. They make such a good team. I am blessed to have them and to get to spend my day with them!
I am so blessed!

ahhhh, sweet bliss.
Man Ruth, your kids are so smart. I love your family.
I've always loved your family, but I especially love it now that you are the stay at home mom/teacher that you always wanted to be back in the dorm days. I love hearing what you're learning alongside your kids...it's just awesome.
Really, really awesome.

And, I'm EXTRA excited that you and Joel got to go on a hot date. Forgot to mention that in my first comment!!!!(=
Woo hoo for date night!!!!
Woo hoo for date night!!!!
You know why I love reading your blog, Ruth? It just makes me happy! (Not to mention inspired).
I never hear you whine or complain about staying home, or about the kids... I mean, I *know* your life isn't perfect, and I don't mean to say that you try to make it sound perfect because you don't - but your joy in your family is just evident and it really helps and inspires people like me when I'm in a whiney or complaining mood... I just want to be more like you! (Haha, do I sound like a stalker...) I think you are a great example of a good mother and you have blessed my life for it.
