This was a random day last week. (in February maybe?!) ........we only show what we want or feel comfortable sharing but man, life has felt stressful lately. There are things you can't share because others wouldn't appreciate that and I totally get that. ......I've got family I miss, family I worry about due to illnesses, those I worry about because they seem unreachable, there are friends going through such tough times, a friend's son having a crazy, unexplainable illness, my own feelings of having put everyone else first for years upon years.......my sons having things going on...one becoming a father soon and stressing about so much, an autistic son that has unexplainably started going backwards in areas that seem to private to put in the world right now...another son that has the school wanting to test him and we feel it must simply wait a year (after conversing about medical needs he has already, the school understood and even agreed that he's only 5....so....more tests can wait). ........ugh, but we face the days and row our boat. Each day is going to have that sun rise and fall regardless of any worries, so we might as well focus on the beauty and the good. I can not explain my beliefs so simply but I believe in prayer and giving things to God...so I do this. I do it constantly....it's basically my meditation of being present and eeking out the good. .......and when I'm rowing, I really do try to see the beauty and sort of let go anything that I can't change. ..............anywho, enough lamenting.
My Soybean up at an ungodly hour!!!....sort of like his Mama
My Con-con woke up waaaay too early.
A little breakfast.....we got that table a few months ago. I'm giving the other table that I had to Tristan. I have had my older table since he was a baby and it feels right giving it to him when he's starting his own family. .......we have paint and staining plans for this table that expands if we need to.
We have an alarm system that works for us. This little guy used to be awful about arguing or getting upset if his morning was disrupted by me needing him to get dressed or brush his teeth or put on shoes. BUT...we discovered an app with multiple programable alarms and once they go off, the boys know it's time to do something. Somehow, this is magic for us. We even use our Alexa (Amazon Echo) and Hey Google (google home) for alarms at random (game time, tv time, etc.).
Connor and his Christmas Cat/gift...Wheezie.
Sawyer and his Christmas cat/gift Sophie.
random, outside......we're up EARLY around here.
Cool dishes from the hubby... I ridiculously love nice bowls and dishes.
Connor and Sophie.
Random Connor sighting...I'm most likely finishing up something private and not really getting to be private! 😉
I'm trying to give a hoot about a little makeup now that I'm past a certain natural glow....
Where is Sawyer?....random floor play....we try to limit show watching...though we could limit even more.
This guy could eat spaghetti-o's 24/7....and we remind him to actually chew because he thinks you just swallow them like a drink.
Random message from a book I probably am reading...empty amazon box...God bless recycling because it's a problem....
I should sell these books....Usborne really does have awesome kids books.
Awesome picture of my Soybean. He's such a photogenic little guy.
We broke down and bought an x-box...for social, educational reasons we tell ourselves. We only have minecraft and so far, it's enough.
Good night, sweet heart.
Go to bed, sweetheart....
