Kiddos

They make my heart happy

Happy Birthday Mimi

My baby is 4. She was so excited for her birthday. We sang happy birthday to her to wake her up. She had a constant smile on her face all day. She got to play at her friends house for a couple hours. We went to grandma-pa house for a party with cousins. Then they had a slumber party together. I love seeing her grow up but it's so bitter sweet for me. At least she is still super cuddly. 

We love you my sweet Mimi.

Weightloss blog

I started a weightloss blog and if you want to check it out its at totallyeasyweightloss.blogspot.com

I'm losing weight a way I've never tried before. It's really amazing.

My chore system

So in October I started a new chore system. I first made the charts then the check lists. It was going ok but it took tons of prodding from me for the kids to complete their work. Then Jonathan said we needed a reward/consequence system as well. Let me tell you I don't have to prod very much at all. They work hard and fast. It's great!!!!

Head band

Here is my very first head band. I think it turned out cute

 This beauty all tuckered out from being pushed around in a stroller all night. Such hard work.

 6 reasons why I'm super happy.

No matter how much a brush her hair it's always like this. 

But sweet baby girl please don't grow up.

I need to add the 4 other birthdays we had. I really hope I don't let too much time get away before I do. 

1st week of school!

We have the first week of school under our belts. I'm so pleased with this new school and the kids teachers. Lily loves her new teacher. She's funny and likes art just like Lily does. Emma's teacher is a older man that loves jokes. She's very happy and loves school. Peter LOVES going to school all day long. He has a nice teacher that he likes. Last year Peter picked a girl from his class that he wanted to marry. We asked him why and he said cause she's pretty. So this year we asked him who the pretty girl was. He said that all of them were and he hasn't chosen who he wants to marry yet. Funny boy. Benji has preschool in a couple of weeks. I could put Mimi in preschool but I'm not ready yet. She'll go in the spring. I'm also thinking about starting school in the spring as well. So that's the update so far. We are coming into the birthday season for us. So look for some bday posts coming up.

Perming Emma's Hair.

I decided to try perming Emma's hair. I think it turned out great. She sure loves it.
