What a week!

This week seems to have flown by yet I have nothing to show for it. I got caught up reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. I LOVED her Twilight Series but this one is weird. Not weird that I don't like it, just scifi-ish. I'm not usually interested in that kind of thing. Anyways, home school has taken a back seat this week as well as house cleaning. I'm just not my usual chipper-energetic self. Can you have morning sickness but never actually throw up?

Here's our week recap:

Monday: Daddy was home-YAY!!!

Tuesday-I was sick in bed in the morning, kids fended for themselves. I did manage to do 2 lessons from Zechariah's reading book. I also managed to get up and take the kids to the park for a October birthday celebration with some friends from church. I'm so glad I went!

Wednesday-PAY DAY!!! I have been waiting for you for so long! It rained again, Zech and Gabe decided to play in the rain, they even got their swimsuits on. This is serious business (can u see them up there?)

We went to Wal-Mart instead of Knit or KNot, which I cancelled since no one showed up. They finally had the solar system kit I have been looking for for a month or more. Zechariah has been studying astrology for he science this year and is fascinated with planets, asteroids, meteroids, etc. The other day we studied the sun and burned leaves with a magnifying glass. It was fun! He was excited to put together the solar system. Yay, craft time!

Pampered Chef orders came in later in the afternoon. I packaged them all up. After dinner, putting the kids to bed, and Scouts, I admired my new pots with Gary while wacthing Project Runway and UFC. Merry Christmas to me!

Thursday-I had 2 little boys added to my 3 for a grand number of 5! Are you trying to tell me something God? It was fun. The boys played VERY well together. I'm soooo glad that you and the baby are ok, Bethany. Last night, I went to the commisary and actually got groceries! I had help with the kids because Gary came along. Wow! I got in and out within an hour. A 1st to say the least! I love you dear. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Friday- OK, so I stayed up too late last night with my book-I just got to the really good part! Got up this morning with one thing on my mind-FINISH THE BOOK!!! I did take a break to go outside and ride bikes. Fun was had by all.
isn't he handsome?
ummm, yes that is a cozy coup. He was being silly. Zech does have a big bike but refuses to ride it-its not "fast" enough.

The day is not through. Eventually, I will clean my house (it is autrocious), and do Zech's lessons with him. Has it really been 2 days without school?!? I feel like a horrible mom/teacher. However, he is blowing through the K curriculum and will be onto 1st grade by January. I guess I shouldn't stress out too much...

So, that was my week give or take a few kisses, threats, time-outs, prayers, Gabriel asking to read scriptures, Ammon taking many more steps, Mixed martial arts classes-Zech is getting SO good! and snuggles with my sweetheart. Did I mention I love my life?

I LOVE MY LIFE! :)
