Day 30

You know how every house has a room that's hotter or colder then the rest..well, that's my bedroom/bathroom. This was Thursday morning @ 5am...not cool, not cool. Please take note of my rainbow loom braclet and my beautiful jewelry holder...both courtesy of sweet, sweet children!!!

I was working on Thursday and my sweet mother in law sent me these beauties!!

Day 29

Wed was a great day!  I have envoked a "no yelling" rule at our house...no one is allowed to raise their voice..even to the dog. It's been a rough few days getting used to the new rule...like I can't even yell across the back yard to get their attention...must walk to them...let it be said, I'm lazy.  The kids are catching on and mama is spending a little more time in prayer...win/win, right;)

When these two have sweet moments, you better capture the moment..it's usually fleeting!

Brushing each other's teeth!

Following the rules is tough;(

Keeping your mashed potatoes in your mouth and out of your hair is also tough..

Leaving the dog alone...the absolute toughest!

Three.is.rough. 

Found Easton hiding in harpers room playing on "her" phone.."her" phone is a broke old iPhone 3 that we use for a noise maker..totally forgot it had games on it. It kept him quiet and his nose off the wall so it was a win/win!!

This was the kids dinner..they love turkey sausage, don't judge!!  Notice the teeth marks..those are courtesy of HJ;)

Love his spunk!;) These two are getting along better now that it's just the two of them all day!!

She's turning into a daddy's girl....NOOOO!!!!

Bedtime stories got a little crazy Wed night!!

Love these crazies!!!

Day 28

This was my only picture from today. I don't really think it needs anymore words. 

Day 27

Monday..I don't usually mind Mondays..I like structure so sometimes it's nice to just get the week started...there are plenty of weeks where I wish I had three more Saturdays before Monday;). I mean, if I HAVE to do the whole school thing, I might as well suck it up snd of it!!

Colby..if he could just consistently pee and poop outside...we would be best friends!!

Poor Bradley.  We live on almost an acre so getting up the leaves from the 20 plus trees...is a nightmare;( There was 50 bags..of MULCHED leaves. I'll be honest, not super sad I worked on Saturday and missed this!

Day 26

Sunday, funday!!! 

Charlie was thrilled to have a surprise friend at church today!! Sure wish we got to see more of this sweet girl;)

Someone woke up a bit moody today, but turned it around once I offered to let her jump on the trampoline!!

When she sees the camera, she must cheese!!

Sweet, sweet girl. 

My "clean" nightly dessert...I look forward to 8:30 each night for this very reason alone!!

Day 25

I worked...and didn't take any pictures...lame, I know. 

Day 24

Day 24 was a work day...boo;(  Seeing this face..these pigtails...even covered in yogurt..made me smile!!!

Then I saw this sign/letters while browsing on my phone and decide that I need them..tell me you could walk by this and not laugh..dare you to!!  

Day 23

Thursday...Thursdays are rough. School catches up, missed naps are noticed..rough. Easton fell asleep in the car and I decided to leave him there. I left the door to the garage open and then the next door in the house open so I could hear him...of course it was 30 degrees outside, of course!!

He got enough of a nap to get him through the day!

Notice the smoke in the room????  Yup, I started a fire with the flue(?) closed. Awesome. I noticed real quick but unfortunately the flames were right under the flue. I busted out my cooking glove and got it under control...but not before Charlie went into panic mode!!! Kid may have a hard time keeping his calm in high pressure situations!!!!

After baths tonight..all wrapped up in Granners robes!  We stayed toasty by the fire!;)

Fire, check. Popcorn, check. Movie time with your best friends, check!!! Turned out to be a good Thursday after all!!!

Day 22

After Easton's rough Tuesday Bradley took him that night to have some one on one time. It kinda went downhill when Bradley turned into the Walmart parking lot..Easton really wanted to go to Target instead...another small meltdown may have occurred;).  So, on Wed we headed out to run errands and go by Target!!!  Can't blame him, Target is pretty great!;)

Before Target we headed to the bank and they passed out popcorn..to my kids at 10am..why not. 

Before church that night I went out for a run and in my world, killed it!!  Not stellar by some peoples means, but I shaved about 6 mins off my normal time. No sugar or bad carbs for 11 days now and I'm really starting to feel a difference!;)

Day 21

Tuesday was kinda a tough day..Easton's school days are hard for the littles. Easton sometimes misses his nap and sisters gets cut way short. Our morning had a rough start based on this picture;)

Nose to the wall is big around here;)

She's a hot mess people!

A big hot mess!

This was what happened while we waited for Charlie!  Both transferred to the bed so I thought I was good!...that should have been my clue. If I think I'm good..I'm probably screwed!

So, while the two littles napped, we got to jump!!...right after I went pee of course;)

Unfortunately, they woke up while we were outside...and they were traumatized, apparently thinking we left them. It took Easton 45 min to pull it together...45 long minutes. Crying, nonstop. Yikes!

We tried making silly faces to cheer up, but he cried right through the silliness!

Only daddy could make it better and once dad got home he only wanted to cuddle and eat with his eyes closed...crazy kid!!

Day 20

Monday was MLK day and Charlie was off of school!!  I look forward the these days off more then Charlie I think!!  Easton had gymnastics so while he was flipping around, Charlie and Harper and I headed across the street to kill time at mcdonalds;). Classy, right!

In between playing tag we stopped to get some gum and take a few selfies;)

Ta da!!

After we picked up Easton we headed to the movies...all three kids and me. I was feeling brave!!  Everyone did great and Harper was cracking me up by watching half the movie with her hands over her ears! I tried to get a picture, but didn't want to use the flash and disturbe people!

Doing the advocare challenge is fine...except I miss my sweets!  Found a sweet treat that I could have tonight...and I was in heaven!!;)

Day 19

Sunday funday!!! Bradley let me sleep for a 3 hour nap and it was glorious!!!!!!  I woke up and found the kids in the backyard..like this!!

She looks adorable, right?!?!?!

This was about 10 minutes after I woke up...you'd have never guessed, right!! I love sweet Charlie's smile;)

This kid is three...he is all three!!  Say prayers for us people...it's been a rough month. Three is that tough age that they can be sooo fun and sooo defiant. I'd prefer just the fun part, FYI. 

We had to file the dogs nail down..and suprisingly...he just sat there!

Jumped on the overnight oats bandwagon and made 7 jars of peanut butter and honey steel cut oats....soooo good people!!
