Finger Painting Fun...

 I love that they are just as interested in getting messy as their Mama... And their art was AmAzInG! :)



A day in the Life...

- Harvey got 'Noodled' (neutered) according to Ash this last week. They sent home an informational page saying that he should stay 'calm/mellow' for 10-14 days... do they know Harvey? Riiiight...

- Taitum started her first day back at daycare last week. I wasn't sure how it would go since she hasn't been to daycare in 2 years. Simply said she handed me my work gloves and said 'Me - Kathy's... You - urk (work)' ... you could say she's adjusting just fine. :)

- Our show season kicked off this last week in town... we're excited to get started on the new season and starting working towards our goals again. Winter break is super nice but more sunshine and working on metal is on the brain.

- Today I was picking up the house. Doing dishes, sweeping, cleaning the toilets and both the kiddos kept asking me who was coming over. ?? I apparently do not clean my house unless there is company coming. They had a long list of who they thought should be coming to visit them... hated to disappoint but sometimes the toilet just needs to be scrubbed.

- Last week brought a lot of unexpected deaths in our communities. It makes one step back and evaluate just how uncertain your life expectancy truly is. I believe we all have expiration dates - just never certain as to when they are, obviously. I can only hope that from the pain and sorrow that these deaths have cause - growth, self awareness and excessive joy for life has also developed in others. Hugs your kids. Say 'I love you'. Smile at a stranger. The wonderful souls that left this world - left a lot to be learned.

- Taitum, my sweet baby girl, you don't sleep. I don't even believe you like to sleep. I know that this is topic of conversation quite a bit in my life - mainly because I feel like I"m walking around in a haze BUT I want to set this straight... I love how you are made. I love that you require 5 hours of sleep and I require 10. I love that you can make me laugh at 2am because you think funny faces are an appropriate way to greet me when I open your door. I love that you've learned what level of crazy screaming gets my attention every time and you know I'll be there. I love you sweet girl and even though I complain about my lack of sleep and how it affects me, it's so perfectly fits you. ♥

Speaking of sleep.... maybe I should try and grab some while the babes are out! One last thought re: Harvey's Noodling.... Ash, you are completely raw, honest and real with your questions regarding this process. You are so confused as to where does one put those little 'ball things' when they're done with them? ;)
