I think I have never gone so long without something to share....
this is not to say I haven't been busy...
in fact
just the OPPOSITE!
After a most relaxing and fun filled Christmas break
the kiddos returned to school with only
a week and half until end of term...
NEARLY KILLED US ALL!
procrastination on the kids part
and lack of motivation from mom
(cause who wanted to do homework over the holiday?)
resulted in LOADS of homework
and many, many nights of staying up
til midnight or later
...not that I go to bed before midnight ever...
but it's different when you HAVE to be up
editing reports/playing music/etc.
We are now fully into the new term
and the homework is in full swing.
Which leads to the picture below...
Maddy had to do a comfort zone assignment
Basically-- do something out of your comfort zone
and write about your experience.
Maddy is much braver than I would ever be...
she had me do this lovely makeup job
and spent the day getting strange looks...
strange comments...
and trying to convince her friends she did this on purpose
because she liked how it looks!
She is so much gutsier than me!
I have also fully realized these past few weeks
that our date nights are slowly evolving...
we spend most of our weekend nights
dropping kids here, picking up others there,
running them for ice cream,
searching for the next multi-stake dance,
bringing them here or there for movies,
making cookies/treats for them to eat,
and in between...
taking ourselves to dinner while we
wait for the next pickup time.
Don't get me wrong...
We LOVE it!
Kenzie has a wonderful group of friends
and it is the most fun getting to know them!
Thankfully, Maddy's insanely large group of friends
is still young enough they only get together
once in a while...
when those 20+ deacons
and 15 or so beehives
all come to hang... the basement seems a little small.
Moving on....hopefully I'll be taking a few more pictures
and doing a better job of keeping this little blog
cheery, happy, and full of our lives!
