Rough Day

I was having a rough day on Thursday.  I find that being pregnant is just hard on me. I can't keep my mood up as much as I would like.  I'm tired, I'm ornery and I'm trying to accept that its okay, I can be those things and still choose joy.  It's a work in progress.  We had lots of recess time though because I needed to sit on the couch and just decompress for a while (about 10 times).... The girls made forts on the stairs, read books with me and played outside.  I tried to appreciate the fact that even though we didn't quite get everything done that I wanted to that day, and the house was a mess, it was still a good day.  My girls played well together, they learned, the loved, and it's okay to have an off day. Or week, or month, and sometimes even an off year. It's okay.

The sun finally came out and so I told the girls to run outside and enjoy it.  Well they all thought that the sun meant it was warm and Nora ran out in her leotard and swimsuit bottom.  I told her to get a jacket, but she assured me she was not cold and the sun would keep her warm (that lasted about 10 minutes).  They ended up playing out there for a couple hours though and I feel that it's always a good day if they can spend time outside. Also check out that view, we are so incredibly blessed to live here!

Jesus Walking on the Water

Originally for gospel study I was printing coloring pages for them to color on, but I'm really loving just watching what they come up with.  It's so much more fun, and they get really into their drawings. Nora was upset about the black "narwhal" on her picture, because little sister Emy added that feature, and it was not appreciated.

Baby Time

I've mentioned before that this one is a very messy eater and so she usually gets a spray down in the sink in the morning which she absolutely loves. Then we get her dressed and have some reading time before school.  This morning she wasn't interested in sharing her chair...

Sophie Mouse

My girls LOVE the Sophie Mouse books, and to be honest so do I.  They are cute stories that build good character.  There is no questionable material in them, they are just good books! They are an early reader chapter book, so they have some illustrations, and the stories are fun and easy to follow.  Molly my 7 year old read them all last year. This year I read them aloud to Nora my 5 year old before bed, and she will probably read them on her own sometime next year.  She is still frustrated pretty easily by reading even though she can do it, so we keep things pretty short in that area for now.  If you haven't read the adventures of Sophie Mouse and you have little girls at home (or even little boys!) I highly recommend them!
