spider

Favorite moment yesterday … we were out hanging lights  and my daughter jade found a baby spider. It was tiny and white and scurried as fast as it could to get away. Jade reached down and picked it up by one of its tiny legs... she says mommy I want to hold it... she’s only two... I love that she has no fear... that she approaches life with courage and faith. I love that we have kept her so safe that she feels no fear. She watched and played with that spider for a long time.

Somedays are harder then others

Yesterday was a hard day. dinner time was a three wheel circus , eight kids for dinner and right when it’s time to serve them the toilet over flows and runs all down the hall way the burgers start to burn .. Meanwhile the kids are mass kayos in the back ground cause tabby’s busy... thank fully there was a parent here and she jumped in to help , my sick husband got out of bed and tried to save the beef !  After all this we had to drive out in the monsoon to pick up hubby’s car at the shop. It was such a hard drive it was dark and the wind was blowing the rain was coming down side ways... I could barely see the road …that was a scary drive with my babies in the car. But through it all I am still great full, great full for my husband and for parents who step up and jump in, great full that we got home ok.  Favorite moment yesterday … sitting in the hot tub when it was all over all by myself with my book...

Turkey !

Thanksgiving is almost here. I can’t wait to eat some turkey. I have been having lots of fun making turkeys and fall leaf decorations with the kids. Favorite moment today is sitting quietly and watching the leaves fall .
