The last few weeks I feel as if I am multi-tasking to the extreme. I have realized its an art or possibly a slight obsession that I am good at? None the less, I can tell a huge difference in my ability to “keep up” when I leave my husband home with the children haha… Don’t get me wrong, Travis is an amazing husband and father… and does more than most men would ever think to do! I think as a woman though I am just wired differently and because of this, I am able to do things a lot different…. and in short, a little bit more affectively? :) I guess that is the only way I can put it, if I am being frank.
Life as a mother of 4 boys, is go go go and while I do have mornings, a lot lately honestly… where I sleep in til 9am… (yes, it does happen!), I find once I am up, I am always doing something, from cooking a meal, tidying a kitchen, wiping a kids butt, catch up on emails (never ending, its kinda like laundry?), disciplining a kid, prepping my calendar for upcoming shoots, organizing school work, checking school work… getting ready to relaunch She {hearts} It and preparing my new business Lace Lane Wedding’s. It makes me tired to think about :)
One thing though that I am so thankful for, is the ability to do any of it…. and while there are many days I would rather sit on my couch and play the Wii with my children without any other care… and possibly a butler or maid to serve me food and clean my house… I know, in the end, I am one blessed lady!!
& the Wii days do happen some times… minus the butler or maid ;-) – unless you count my children? Its called “teaching them to serve?” ;D
I will admit I am struggling with something though, and that is sleep. For some reason I cant sleep very sound…. I think it is a combination of my anticipating Reed waking up between 2-5am… or possibly the long to-do list constantly going through my mind. The two combined make for some long nights lately.
Any how. Thats life as of right now :)
Busy…
But good.
With the busy, comes my lack of camera use :) – I miss my camera! It has only been used on Sunday’s lately, capturing our Church baptisms…. something Ive tried to help with lately when I can. I do have a fun Boba session this sunday though and am excited about that… especially since its with one of my favorite clients. ;-)
So, since the camera is hard to find time for lately… here is a wrap up with some instagram’s ;-) – what would we do without instagram!? seriously.
Below is Taite’s Cursive. Taite just turned five late Dec. He impresses me daily!
The Pink Bumbo isn’t mine ;-) – belongs to Candra from Curious Georgi.
We’ve gone to her house a few times the last few weeks. Her baby Heaven is only a day older than Reed.
She also has 3 other children, ALL BOYS. So our crew meshes well.
Have I mentioned Owen is a slight addict of Temple Run?
To prove it, check out this video I snagged of him playing it the other night…
Please disregard the screaming 6 year old in the background…. Im not sure what his deal was.
I did manage this photo, BEFORE church Sunday. I had the cam then for baptism ;-)
Lil’ Reed-er (reeder has become his nick name as of late), is still precious as always.
I decided to try something I saw on pinterest…. This was the result :)
Hilariously ugly – but cute in a way ;-) and my boys, loved them.
I also pampered myself recently and got some peek-a-boo color in my hair. Its fun, yet not to much.
I also had 3 inches cut off… 3 inches of major split ends! Thats what a year 1/2 with no cut will do.
& for those who think my house is always clean ;-) here is some evidence it is not.
