I am having the toughest time balancing life right now. I am keeping up on household duties, babysitting children and all of that, but photography and blogging are falling on the back burner.


I refuse to give up though.

The kids both helped with dinner tonight.  We had Chicken Carbonara, which has been one of my favorite foods for a while.  It also is a killer leftover lunch.  ; )

While we were making dinner, I had the spaghetti noodles in a pile and decided to show them how to play pick up sticks with them.  Don't worry, they washed their hands!

I babysat a really long day today.  I also got a lot of cleaning done in between.  Somehow my house fell apart again this week when I wasn't looking.  Which is probably what it's doing right now playing catch up here...

Anyways, I bribed the kids and told them that if they picked up at least 10 pieces of garbage each out back they could have a popsicle.  There were some old sand toys that had gotten broken and things mostly Rawni had gotten into and dragged around the yard.

I also did a bunch of yard work.  It was a very busy and very successful day.

I cheated on my husband today.  Yup, you read that right.  I did!  No, really.  To him, I completely and utterly cheated.  I went on William's field trip and we visited Round Table.  We even (gasp) ate their pizza.  Shame on us.  (He owns a non Round Table pizza franchise.)

Another lazy day on my part via photos.  Sometimes I just want to enjoy the day without hiding behind a camera.  Plus, I had three kids and socializing to do!

Anyways, this was just before we left the school after the field trip.

Today's Photo

IMG_3374

Happy Mother's Day to me!
IMG_3385

This little Princess went above and beyond for me all day.  She truly made my warm and fuzzy.  I couldn't have asked for or prepared myself for the joy she made me feel.
IMG_3390

I tried to get some shots of all three of my kiddos, but of course, Robert was pretty busy resisting to get the three of them at the same time.  The other two are great, until he starts, then it has a domino effect of attention spans.
IMG_3372
Oh well, here are my three gifts from above.  The reason this day holds so much value for me as an individual, besides, you know, my mommy.

Nothing fancy too. I am getting into a rut of just taking a photo to take one, not working on any skills.

To be honest, I'd like to work on it, but it's not priority.

Tonight we watched "The WaterHorse" as a family. It was nice, relaxing and fun. William had to go to bed on time last night while Rawni got to stay up late with his friend, so Will promised him tonight (a non school night) he could have a turn. He was bummed his sister got in on the fun, again, but he was very mature about it voicing his feelings. I think he deserves a special night soon. He's been very mature on a lot of levels this week. I can't believe how much my boys are growing.

IMG_3353

I say boys because not only William, but Will has made efforts as a husband this week that have left me more than pleased. I am very blessed.

Today was Open House at William's school.  When I was a kid I remember running around showing my mom this and that and all of the cool things I had made.  William didn't seem to care.  I am not sure if it is because Will and I both help and visit the class often, or if it was too crowded, but it wasn't a big deal to him.  It was just too chaotic to me.

Afterwards we visited all of the first grade classrooms to get an idea of who will request for next year.  I got a few recommendations, and I am pretty confident in who I will choose.  The school allows requests, and we got who we wanted this year and it has a perfect match for us.  I couldn't be more than pleased.

I think I need to get more creative on my shots and angles of the kids. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't have time or energy to look into right now, but I need something.

At any rate, I think he looks pretty handsome here. : )  This was at the park this evening.

Tough call today.  This was my favorite photo of the day.

Yet, this was my favorite moment of the day.  Ahhhh, sweet bliss.

I redeemed a portion of my birthday massage gift certificate.  It was so well overdo.

Besides spending my day on the couch reading and relaxing (as much as you can with three kids, that is), we have a Monday night ritual:

The park. Picnic. Library. Family time.

This Monday was no different.

That's not true. This Monday I let the kids bring their sucker's from the Easter Bunny.

IMG_2702

Neither of them finished these suckers, but it was fun while they did enjoy them.

Rawni was off playing ball with dad, and ended up not eating hers this evening (or yet). But, don't feel fooled, she's the biggest sugar sweetie of them all!

After our overnight guests left this morning, I didn't. do. a. thing. today.

Except babysit. It wasn't on the agenda, it was a last minute thing, but we can really use the money, so I am not turning it down!

These boys were uber cute today. They played side by side happily (for the most part) and were laughing so hard together.

I didn't intend for it to be my photo of the day, it was one of those cute moments you grab the camera and go with it. I didn't get around to the idea I had for today, so this became my daily shot.

We met our friends at the park today for a picnic and then they all came back and stayed the night.  It was very busy around here, but very enjoyable.  Unfortunately, I think staying up til 2am with seven kids bright eyed and ready to rise at 7am was not my brightest idea.  But, it was fun while it lasted.  : )

Can my kids be anymore adorable?! Seriously.

IMG_2204IMG_2206

Today they were in their auntie's wedding as flower girl and ring bearer. They were on their best behavior through getting ready, the wedding ceremony, all of the photos, and everything that followed.   I was a very proud mama.

I don't think we could have crammed any more into this day (or week, maybe even month at the rate it's going...).

Today we had two spring parties. William's was all day, but we went to it first thing in the morning, so as to hit Rawni's in the afternoon, allow Robert a short nap and head out of town for a wedding rehearsal.

This is William's "egg drop race".

My kids, Robert especially (since it was hardest on him), were great sports through it all (and the following days, too!).

Today was my son's first school play. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. A grandmother of a student a few years prior put this on with the class and has come back since to work in the classroom free of pay to do this. It was fantastic. Have I mentioned how much I adore my son's school, teacher and classroom? I couldn't be more pleased.

Anyways, he was a horse, and he learned his lines quickest they said! I'd love to take credit, but all of his practice was done on his own free will. He's pretty awesome.
