Yes! My hubby's soccer won state the other night for the fourth year in a row and are currently in Tennessee at Nationals. Here is a picture of our crazy family after the game. We all painted our faces and wore the school's colors.
I am actually enjoying having Josiah gone for a few days. You wouldn't believe the things I can accomplish between the hours of 8pm and 2 am after the kids are asleep. My mom and painted an accent wall in both my living room and dining room. I have to say that they look exceptional!
My dad came over today bearing another wonderful gift...3 window sills!!! Only 2 bare ones to go! If you have ever visited our house, you would know that there are still a few "cosmetic" things that are still uncompleted. Now I can check this one off the list. PTL!
I have been catching up on a little couponing, cleaning deep-down dirt, and am about to embark on a few sewing projects. I am going to my dining room curtains this evening to make them hang on a traditional curtain rod. And, my diaper bag needs a new zipper. This should be interesting, as I am not a very experienced seamstress and have never sewn a zipper in my life.
Tomorrow and Friday I have a babysitter during the day and plan to shovel out under the kids playset and lay down mulch. It is such a pain to have to mow under so I figure this will save me the hassle and it should look a little "cleaner" out there without have tall weeds needing to be weed-whipped all the time. I also have plans to clean out the attic and run 3 and 4 miles those days.
Josiah will be back sometime early Saturday morning and my mom and I are leaving out of Tampa on a 5 day cruise. I am having a really hard time being excited about the vacation, as I feel very guilty leaving my hubby with the kids the whole time. I know they will be fine and I have help to watch the little ones when Josiah's at work, but I can't stop feeling bad about all the extra work my absence is causing everyone. I need to pray about it some more.
Esther, Hannah, and Lydia are all doing great! I moved Esther into a new class at gymnastics and she is doing much better. She has been struggling the last few months with staying focused, so this change has been really good for her. Hannah is learning new things everyday and can't wait to go to school next fall. She asks everyday when daddy and sister leaves if she can go too. We do some school work everyday at home and she really looks forward to our time together. Lydia is full of all kinds of new tricks these days. She loves to clap and wave. She will usally combine the two talents with a clap, clap followed by a wave, wave. She also gave me her first high-five today. It was awesome! We went to the doctor for Lydia's 9 month check-up the other day and got a little bit of a sad report, though. Her frenulum (the little piece of skin the goes between the upper lip and attaches above the front teeth) is very low and thick. We are being advised to see an ENT doctor in a few months and she will probably have to have it clipped. :(
Whew! That's about all that's new with us!
