The Joys of Life: May 2008

Nicholas

He is getting so big. It's hard to believe that my babies are growing up.

Toys

So this morning Jonathan decided that we would clean out toys, that was fine by me. We go through the toys and I in hopes that the boys will keep them organized so they can find them next time, Ha Ha. We put all of the people and other things that go with his pirate ship and castle in one box, and they have been down their playing for a good while know since they can actually find their stuff. But I know by the end of this week they won't be able to find anything. Oh well. I'm just happy that I was able to clean out some toys and make some space.

Summer Vacation

It's official school is out for summer. We are an excited bunch around here. And you know what, I'm actually cooking supper tonight so you know I'm excited. Last summer was extremely stressful and God has blessed me this summer. I'm going to get to stay home with my boys this summer. And I'm grateful. It will probably be my last time to be a stay at home mom since next year I'm finishing school and will start working probably full time. So this summer I will treasure.

The first thing we did today after we got home and got up from naps was hit the pool. My dad came in and the boys are excited. Jonathan enjoyed the pool but Nicholas nearly froze to death. Then we came in and Nicholas watched TV and played with toys while Jonathan played his gameboy. Summer has begun. Now they are down stairs reading to and having Gampa read to them. They've played games and are now snuggling under blankets. Jonathan is very excited about going into the first grade. He did very well in school this year and improved on everything this last 9 weeks. I'm a proud momma. Nicholas has lots of play dates this summer and we are going to keep busy.

Another plus you will probably see more blogs. Enjoy the summer people, enjoy. And Elisabeth if you read this we need to do something with our kids this summer. I miss seeing you and them.

Blessed

I've already gotten some Mother's Day gifts from my boys. And I'm feeling like a very blessed momma. Jonathan made me a bowl and a handprint.

Nicholas made me a bookmark with his fingerprints on it.

The flower is for teacher appreciation week. And Jonathan decorated me a cake at school. He a child after my own heart. When I cut the cake there was more icing than cake. Now that's a good cake. He wanted me to know that he put alot of sprinkles on it just for me. That's my boy.
