New Years Resolutions 2015

This is my year! 2015 is the year that I will

• live more in the moment, that I will not stress about the things that truly do not matter. This season of my life with 3 little's there will always be dishes, laundry, meals and some sort of mess in an area of the house if not the whole house...what I will do is answer the first time my little's call momma, that when they want a snuggle I will put down the dish towel and go to them, that I will kiss my babies every night before bed and give 5+second hugs

•that I will be more patient, with my kiddos, husband and myself

•that I will not give up on my goals

This year I will:

• run a half marathon

•do another triathlon

•be kind to my body, exercising eating right

Mason!!!

Yesterday I had to call another parent. Why you ask? Mason.  We got to play after school today in the snow with your friends.  Ela had brought snow making blocks, you grabbed one up and things were going splendidly.  Mom's getting to visit while kids enjoyed the snow.  All at once you came running up to me and said "Mika put snow in my eyes" I rubbed your back and told you it was fine and then Mika came running up to her mom "Mason put snow down my back.  Understatement, her hood from her snowsuit was filled with snow and as a few of the mom's were trying to get it out and she was saying she was so cold, I was coming unglued.  I'm not sure why you would have done that, and of course I was apologizing like crazy but I was mad, because it felt like a parent fail.  I was going to make you write a note but didn't want to wait till Monday to give it to her so we decided to make a phone call instead.  So we called her and you apologized, and to be fair I was just as nervous as you but when your a parent you'll understand that one of the greatest lessons we can teach you is to own up to your own mistakes.  No one is going to cover or baby you and tell you it's okay when you've done something wrong.  Character lesson. 

Abbie's early birthday party

We were going to be gone for Abbie's birthday so we decided to have it earlier on Thanksgiving weekend. So other than feeling a little rotten (read last entry) it was a great day for her. This princess has been taking about her birthday since April.

Made her a castle, which they loved but we had some structural issues:)

Abbie's backside:)

 

 I loved this cupcake idea. Years ago Auntie Trina made it for Torrance so I've been holding on to the idea till one of you asked for a princess theme.  

There were princesses, and super hero's and so many of your little friends to make your party fantastic. 

Bunicu and Bunica were here as well to party with us. 

All in all another success.
