At first I didn’t think I had a really “great” picture for this one. I searched through my tons of picture files that I’ve recently taken(that’s the problem with digital cameras! Endless pictures!) and finally I found this one. Daddy and Baby-So cute!
We also spent a little while at the park last week, which was a nice few “moments” for me to relax while the kids played!
This post is for a book week hosted by O My Family!
I’ve loved the Berenstain Bears ever since I was a kid. We got this the last time we were at the library and it hits home soooo much! I totally relate to Mama Bear!
The Berenstains keep a neat and orderly home. (Well, maybe I can’t quite relate to that!)
Except for the kids room(Now that I know all about!)
Momma Bear is Fed up with all thier arguing when they’re supposed to be cleaning and ends up cleaning it up herself. She is NOT happy!
Oh boy, isn’t that just a picture of what goes on at our house!lol
Anyway, Momma Bear snaps….(I had to laugh at this!)
Papa Bear hears the commotion all the way outside in his workshop and comes to the rescue and suggests they make boxes to organize thier room.
The story ends well, and Momma Bear did not have to be hauled away to the mental hospital! LOL

Okay, this is my first time participating in the Toot Meme…but first I have to say,, this post is not about me or anyone else passing gas…LOL….!
Let’s see,,,hmmmm,,what did I accomplish this week…
Uhhh,,, Oh yeah,, I almost stayed on track with my laundry schedule. I’m trying to do one load every day and I’ve marked on the calendar what clothes I’m doing on each day of the week. For example: Whites are on Monday, pants on Tuesday, mommy and daddy shirts and other darks Wednsday, Kids clothes on Thursday, baby blankets on Friday, regular blankets on Saturday and bath towels on Sunday.
Now if I could only keep on top of it on a regular basis, I wouldn’t have mount washmore looming over me all the time!! :)
I am definately Not still awake, blogging, with one hand, holding the sweetest 6 month old baby boy on my lap at 12:59am! Nope, not me!
Okay, I must confess,, I am.
Yes, it’s been a wonderfull weekend that pretty much revolved around 3 coughing, snotting, feverish kids. That includes the sweet baby who is, at this very moment, wide awake and contently sitting on my lap chewing unmercifully on his thumb. Everyones fevers are now gone, although the coughing up of phlegm can still be heard. Hopefully tomorrow I do not get more sick and that it will end with the current scratchy throat and slight cough.
Well, baby is now getting a little antsy and is pulling running his fingers through my hair. I think it may be time to put him to bed, and then I will definately Not stay up and work on my header image for this blog some more!
That last part may or may not be true! :)

Quiet is the sound of nothing but the ticking of a clock(usually after midnight)
This post is for the weekly challenge at I Should Be Folding Laundry.
Yesterday was a very good day. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a few hours of peace during the day, what with a 6 month old, 3 year old and 6 year old boys. Usually the older two are running around, play fighting, real fighting (-: , asking me to help them with something, wanting something to eat, the list goes on and on….. Baby is a very good baby, but even good babies take up time and energy needing to be held, fed, played with, and I wouldn’t trade all of this for anything…
But, mommys need a break during the day and I don’t usually get that because usually my 3 yr old won’t go to sleep if I try to lay him down for a nap now unless he gets up fairly early, so I’ve stopped bothering to lay him down so I don’t have to spend all afternoon fighting him to stay in his bed. He is a very strong willed boy and even though he gets disciplined when he gets up out of bed, he’ll still keep doing it or sit there and cry the whole time and just won’t go to sleep. He’s been getting better at night about going to bed, finally, most likely due to not taking a nap during the day.
Anyway, so yesterday I had to get up before 7am to get baby and ds2(dear son #2) into the car to take daddy to work so we could have the car to be able to pick up ds1(dear son #1) from his cousins house where he had spent the night. When we got home after picking up ds1 around 10am and then picking up daddy for lunch around 11am, both boys were both really cranky and kept fighting about stuff. So about 1:30 I put ds2 down for a nap and he actually went to sleep really fast….of course he would, after being awake since before 7am!lol… And then I put baby down and since he had been awake for quite awhile that morning, he went to sleep quickly too. Then I had ds1 lay down on the couch for awhile. He doesn’t take naps at all anymore since he was 4 yrs old, but I do make him lay down sometimes if he’s really cranky and he will be nice and quiet for me.
So there I was with 3 kids in the house, yet it was quiet!! I briefly thought about just relaxing, but then I thought I would feel alot better if I was able to get some cleaning done. I was able to wash quite a few dishes (don’t have a dishwasher so I have to do it all by hand), and then I was able to fold most of the clothes from mount washmore that were piled high on the couch. I did a little work on the computer too. I let ds1 get up after about an hour and we did some work in his school workbook. All in all, it was about 2 hours of quiet bliss before baby woke up, and then it was another hour before ds2 woke up.
Awwww, so nice. Now we’ll see how today goes!
