Monday Musings

This morning we had the pleasure of watching the kids of some dear friends we met through our homeschool group. The lucky ducks had the pleasure of signing the papers on a new house - yea them!! I was pleasantly surprised how well the time went with 2 more kids here. We had a minor incident with one pushing J down but after a quick time out, it never happened again. Both boys listened so well to Daddy Piper and I. It was a fun couple of hours. I could so be a mommy to five kids, even if 4 of them were boys :-)


Art this afternoon was fun. The kids made these snowman things. I think they are cute enough to keep forever!! We are hoping to continue the art portion of art/music class. Hopefully we'll find out more tomorrow. I do think the kids get alot out of the class - the learning from someone else and practicing their listening skills.


J is such a cute little stinker. He loves to scream his head off and most of the time for no good reason. He and S have been playing more and more together lately. J was super excited to see S when he woke up this morning. S came walking down the hall and J saw him and was just squealing and screaming and laughing with delight.

Life is still unsettled around here. We are hoping for some good news tomorrow or at least some news of upcoming good news. I hate what the stress has done to our marriage. We are in the "for worse" of the "for better or worse" part of marriage. I do hold out high hopes that things will get better though. If you don't have hope, you have nothing! We are snippy and short with each other more often than not lately. I am just as much at fault, if not more. I read that the Mama has such an influence over the mood in the house and I do believe that. I have tried to get better with my mood - even in the present circumstances.
