Miss Me?

Not too many followers yet so if you read this please, I am asking you to let people know about this blog. It might not be for everyone, but I am starting to get anxious about this. I want to create a following and hopefully one that will interact with what I write. I might need ideas, I might just enjoy reading the feedback that I receive from people. This is being done for enjoyment.....I like to write. Keeps me out of trouble ;)~~.

Love you guys!

Back to Normal

Okay, we are now back from a whole week away which by the way, flew by waaay to quickly. We are now back to the day to day routines and the trip is always mentioned at sometime during each day. Fun stuff!

Now, I have not forgotten about my decorating and re-do of the kiddie room. I am excited! The bedding arrived at the door today and I couldn't wait to open it. Even the kids were excited!! (That is always a good thing!)

Got some color cards and we both (hubby and I) agreed very easily on the wall color!!! Wooo Hoooo!!! I thought I would have a tougher time with that. All we really need to do now is decide WHEN the painting is going to actually take place.

When that decision is made......all the rest will fall into place!

Vacation

Well, we made it back from our Aruba vacation in one piece. Now we are back home and routines have to get back in order. Especially the discipline routines!!! Those ALL got thrown out the window!! I have NO idea what got into my kids while we were away. The problem is that they think now they could continue acting the way that they did. I will not have it! I don't care what anyone says.....too much freedom is NOT a good thing! We were on vacation so we let them go, but now, this is the end. Other than the few tantrums that were inevitable, we had a great time.

We decided to take this vacation to celebrate the birthdays of our children (they are both summer babies). I think this was much better than throwing any type of birthday party! These are memories that will never be forgotten. They had a blast and they want to go back!! That is the most important thing to me--as long as they enjoyed it and had fun, my mission was accomplished.

Now we have to start getting them ready for school......that is another story for another day!

Vacationing with Kids

Gosh!! I was warned about traveling with kids but I was not warned about the packing for kids. I always feel like I am forgetting something when I pack for myself, now add two more people to the equation and.....



Everyday I am thinking, did I pack this? Where is that shirt? What else should I bring? I only wish these were questions that pertained to ME! I am thinking about the kids and you know what?????? I'm going to end up forgetting MY stuff!!

I guess I should just relax and deal with it when we get to our destination. The things I should not forget are most important anyway---their toys!!! God help us all if those are forgotten and anyway, I have given THEM that responsibility. They need to pack what they want to bring (although I have put limits on that, they are capable of packing everything that's in front of them).

I will let you all know how that goes! Our vaca is delaying the re-decorating of the kids room....I haven't forgotten about that (I will post pictures when it is completed).

Talk to you all soon!!
