One Month

My mother in law, Karen, started a new blog/podcast (ministry, really) to encourage homeschool moms, you really MUST check it out . I promise you will come away encouraged and refreshed, ready to serve your family!

We have had a bunch of little girl birthday parties to go to so far this year and it has been tons of fun. Two parties were at a ballet studio here and Penelope dressed up and danced like a real ballerina! She did so well, I was impressed! I think this summer we are going to sign her up for lessons. Dowen is becoming more talkative and is still my cuddly little guy. He likes Starbucks as you can see from the picture :)

Clayton started his solo practice on the first of March and has been incredibly busy so far. We feel really blessed in this new endeavor.

I went to Target twice yesterday. Yes, I know its an obsession and I must get help. The first time was in the afternoon with both of the kids and between Dowen opening up the industrial sized hand soap refill bottle and squirting it all over himself and Penelope begging to go down the Princess aisle I got all frazzled and had to go back again after they were in bed. I then wandered around in a daze for about an hour and came out with a new mop from the Method cleaning line. I am such a sucker for thier stuff, its just so. . . cool. As I drove home with my new mop in the seat next to me I envisioned the sparkling floors; the joyous way I would dance through the kitchen every evening mopping just for fun. Well, I was so motivated that I did even use it last night and my kitchen looks better than it has in days, ok, weeks.
