no, not the...


Ashton has always been my biggest helper. He is so quick to get up and get me something and do his chores. This day was a result of not enough sleep. I asked him to fold some laundry and you would have thought the world was at an end!

the bright side


I have been really bummed lately. Marin has been in gymnastics for a long time and she is so close to being ready to compete. I know she would do really well if she just had a little more competitiveness. She has told me that the beam really scares her, and she doesn't want to do gymnastics anymore because they have started to do bigger things on the beam now. But today when I was doing a little craft at the kitchen table, she asked to use my paints. She is a really great artist. She thinks of things in such a different way. She asked me about roots and then came up with this painting. I am a terrible artist. Actually Marin always asks to re do anything I have drawn because she can't stand how I do it. I love her painting!!!

motherhood is bliss

So Ashton throw up, it's so nasty I have to throw his sheets out. Then Greyson gives the puppy a saltine cracker that was sitting out from Ashton's snack. Blech, all over in his kennel. Number 2 throw up mess. Then Greyson says he doesn't feel that great. Well, that's nothing I haven't heard before. Then he throws up on the carpet. SICK!!!!! Mesa wakes up the last few nights practically drowning in her own mucus. Poor girl, I worry one day she will get it in her lungs. She sneezes in my face, eyes and mouth. Yep, now I'm sick. I did get to lay in bed one day this week :)
