Touching Base

It's been a busy, slightly overwhelming week.  My first week of school is over.  I'm done with my assignments and now have the chance to start working ahead a bit.  I'm grateful.  It's been a good week!  Today we are going to clean the house, hit the library (it's library day) and then do some grocery shopping.  Then date night!  Yeah! 

Bryan and I have started going out every Friday night.  We have Charity watch the kids for us.  We just started last week.  It went wonderful.  She did such a great job!  It will be so good for us to have that time together.  The kids really like it too.  Faith woke up and asked what day it was.  I told her it was Friday.  She said "yeah, that means Charity gets to watch us!"  Too cute! 

Well I'm off to get everything done.  I think I'm going to take the kids to the zoo tomorrow, so I want to make sure I'm set to do that! 


Kid Moment for the Day:

Hope has continued to be so cute with her Daddy.  As soon as she sees him pull in the driveway, she jumps up from her seat exclaiming "Daddy's home!"  If she misses the fact that he has gotten home, and comes to find that has already happened unbeknownst to her, we really hear about it.  "How come nobody told me that Daddy is home?" she says as she is stumbling to put her shoes on and get out the door as fast as she can to give her Dad a joyous greeting.  Neither one of us is quite sure what brought this on, but she is quite the Daddy's girl right now.  He feels like the luckiest man alive!

David's Work

I'm posting late tonight.  I went on a date with Emily Martyn.  She's 19 and seems to think I'm cool enough to hang out with.  Works for me.  I had a great time!  We went to get some yummy Italian and then went to see the new Snow White movie.  It was a great night out!  Now I'm headed to bed.  I am ready.  Play hard, sleep great! 

Kid Moment for the Day:

As soon as David is up and dressed he's pushing to go outside.  He informs me he's headed out.  I say, "oh, you are going out to play?"  He says, "No Mom, I don't play, I work!  I'm headed out to do my work!"  It's never play anymore.  It's always work.  He goes right out and gets busy with one project or another....digging under the porch, playing in the sand, etc.  Soo cute!

The Muffin Thief

I'm headed to bed because I'm exhausted tonight.  I'm still not on top of it since I spent a few nights up with my sister at the hospital.  Goes to show how much we get divine help when our babies are born.  I'm still dragging from just a couple of nights of little sleep and Rach is still up all night with her little one.  So funny!  


I just wanted to touch base real quick.  I hate when I let too much time go between posts.  I need to remember that even if it's just a few sentences, when my babies get older and want to get a peak at what life was like, those few sentences will mean everything!  


Kid Moment for the Day:


I made muffins today.  David loves muffins and will eat as many as I will let him.  He ate several for lunch.  When dinner rolled around I handed him one and told him that was it.  I wanted to make sure his sisters got one as well (there were only a few left).  He ate his muffin and then climbed up to the counter and grabbed a second one.  Dana (a friend of mine who was over for dinner) told him he should probably check with me first.  I overheard her and headed over to remind him that we were saving those for his sisters.  Quick as lightning he broke it all up, then for good measure shoved half of it in his mouth.  Little twerp.  I was shocked.  David seldom does things like that.  He sat on a little time out after a very surprised look from his mother.  I think he thought it was totally worth it, though!
