School time fun

This week our school started having back to school activities. I can't believe that school time is here already. It makes me so sad and excited for the boys. danny is a big first grader this year and Caleb is a kindergartener. Two kids in school is a bit overwhelming. I pray that they have been placed in classrooms that will be the best fit for each of them and that they have a safe schol year. One tradition that I started last year is praying with the kids before they get out of the car. I tried to enter the car pool line early so that we could sit in the car and have prayer time about the day and for the kids safety throughout the day and of course that the Lord would surround Danny and Caleb with kids that have kind words. I will continue that. The Lord answered my prayers daily and brought our family back together safely at the end of every day. Danny and Caleb have such sweet hearts. They are crazy boys in alot of ways but when you peel back the "boy" side of them you see the wonderful ways that they are made with their sweet spirits. I hope that shines through at school. I am lucky to be their mom. I don't always have all the answers to be the perfect parent that I would love to be, but I love both of them so much and I pray that they remember that when they are away at school. Sorry so sentimental......I just had a baby and both my big boys are going to school.....that's not good for the hormones.
We are all looking forward to a great and fun school year.

just wanted to post a picture of how my baby boy is growing.

The naked truth of a mom's day-not for squeamish tummy's

Well, yesterday I was going to venture out and have lunch out with all the kiddos. I got up early and was sure to plan Coltons feeds so it would be perfect and I wouldn't have to breastfeed in public. I bathed all the kids and myself and got everyone dressed so cute. This may seem like a small accomplishment for some but for me on this day it was not a small task with a 3 week old baby. I was thrilled to be getting out of the house. Chick fil A was my desired destination. Our morning went perfect, all the kids were happy, healthy and playing well together. We started our drive down 290 to chick and we were only 2 minutes away when the plans went SOUTH! As I gazed so lovingly at my kiddos all buckled in the back seat I would have never dreamed that I would have witnessed what started happening. My sweet sweet Caleb went from laughing and having fun to projectile vomiting in the car. It was like slow motion. I could see my baby getting sick all over the place and I couldn't stop to help him at that point and the smell was just the start of what I had to clean in the car. Luckily despite the other kiddos gagging from the odor on one else got sick....AMEN! WE obviously turned around and Danny met me at home. He was like my knight in shining armor pulling up the driveway in his truck and lifting my pukey kiddo out of the car. What a wonderful husband! He took Caleb and hosed him off with the water hose......at that point that was the only option due to the circumstances. I started to clean out the car. The doctor said he has strep throat. He doesn't get fever, sore throat, or any of the other usual symptoms for strep......just vomit! Lovely.
I am glad to report that my car is clean and disinfected and odor free and most importantly Caleb is feeling much better today! Maybe next time we will try McDoanlds.
