life goes on...

I haven't blogged for awhile, and I don't know if anyone has missed me, but I'm back. You can read and enjoy, but I need to blog more often for me. I've been thinking about awesome things in my life. Some days it's really hard to see them, like days when K is getting into everything! Just a small list of things she has gotten into in the past few weeks... jello powder (she chews through the box), dirt, snow (she and B love eating the snow and don't care what color it is), ALL of my makeup, nailpolish, toothpaste (she LOVES eating my toothpaste). She is much like a tornado. But then there are days like today... while I was saying the prayer at lunch time I realized that she was talking and was repeating what I was saying. I slowed down and let her say the prayer! This is the first time she's done this. In case you don't know, K has been going to speech therapy since last spring. She wasn't talking at all and now she's talking a lot more, it's not easy to understand her, but I especially love when she speaks in a full sentence!
I hate laundry and dishes. I wish I could blame work for nothing getting done at my house, but really, it's just me being lazy. (and spending too much time on facebook...I'm taking the challenge that our bishop is extending to the youth in our ward, to spend less time on facebook) Chris is awesome about helping me with the laundry (dishes too, actually) but a few weeks ago I was switching loads and I managed to get all the laundry from the washer to the dryer without dropping a single item of clothes. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was towels or adult clothes, but it was kids clothes and socks! It made me smile. We'll see if I can do it again this weekend as I tackle the mountain of laundry waiting for me.
One last awesome thing for today...tomorrow is super Saturday, and this year I am excited about the crafts that we're doing. I'm always excited when there's a nativity (mine have been up since Nov. 1, by the way), even better this year, I got to pick it. It's super easy and I am excited to add it to my collection. I'm also excited to have another craft day with some friends, to make even more fun crafts for Christmas. I'll post pictures later (some pictures will have to wait until after Christmas just in case certain people happen to check my blog before then).
Welcome back, hope your day is AWESOME!
