I'm in love....

LOVE THE BLUEBERRY TART!!!

Who has time for that??

I need a cleaning lady! No really... I do! This is crazy! I have NO TIME to do anything anymore! Including updating my blog!

Between day to day stuff and planning a surprise I'm overwhelmed with a to do list longer than I have time for!!!

A sign....

Sometimes I really wish it was that clear!

More pictures..

Best friends then... still best friends now! I know it probably won't last but I love it!

Old Pictures...

The last few weeks I've been going through old pictures (You'll find out the reason in a later post). It's almost addicting. I just love to see how people looked, how quickly kids have grown, etc. So I've decided that over the next few weeks I'll bring some memories back by posting some of my favorites!

So for today...

I love these girls (and their new baby sister for that matter)!! We always have so much fun together no matter what we are doing. Even if we are just sitting around the house doing nothing. However, in this particular picture we just got back from sledding at the park during the Blizzard Maryland had. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first time's Kendyll went sledding and wow... what an adventure! Haha!

Happy John 3:16 Day!

100% Girl

Megan loves to dress up! Doesn't matter what it is! It could be dress up clothes from the bin or her very own coat and hat but she loves to dress up! Yeah for the self help skills she is learning right?! Too cute!

Family Fun Day

Yesterday we decided to head to downtown Raleigh. The Life and Science center was having their reptile/amphibian day and there was also a St Patty's day parade. There were animals out on every floor for the kids to touch, hold, etc. Surprisingly enough... Gavin thought it was neat and did touch a few things but he was actually the timid one! Megan was all for it! She LOVED the snakes. Touching was not enough for her.. she wanted to hold one! They would have let her but Mommy said NO WAY! Haha!

After the museum we watched a little of the St Patrick's Day before heading for lunch and home. Gavin really liked the "canoe boats" the scouts made and asked if he could make one too!

It's nice to take a break from the typical routine and do something fun together as a family... especially when it's FREE!

Construction... it's everywhere!

And I just barely made it on time today..... GRRR!

I made it!

Yep, I made it through my first week back at work.  In fact we all did. Gavin did wonderful just as I expected. He was a little nervous and anxious at first and then "jumped" right in to the swing of things! Megan on the other hand... it will take her a while to get used to it. She has cried all week and has spent the week trying to figure out this new "school" thing. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer before she loves going to school as well!

Mommy was super busy this week! My very first day I met with the owners in the morning and was in classrooms the rest of the day because we had 3 teachers out and 1 quit! What a way to start the week huh? The director I work with is really sweet and nice! Thank goodness! I've kinda been thrown into things with not a lot of training. It's a sink or swim kinda thing. Low staffing doesn't allow for much training time and it causes me to be working some long hours! Gotta love management!

I really like working up front and getting to know how to do some more management things. However, I'm convinced even more now than I was before that I need to open my own preschool. I really wish people who had a lot of money would stop buying childcare centers! All of them seem to be in it only for the $ and could care less about the children or staff that they have in their center. I hate working for those types of people! GRRR!

Oh well...gonna get some expereince and then look into breaking free...

Thanks to all who offered words of encouragement to me this week. I nemade it!
