Nothing too much I guess...

I haven't blogged in a few days because there is nothing too much going on. It has been a busy week so far. Little Gram and I went to mayfair on Monday which was a total bust, but oh well it was nice to get there and eat lunch together and stuff. We stayed in and played yesterday. Kira and Mer came over and played in the morning too which was really nice. Today we are at Grams doing laundry and chores. Ben actually came with today to Grandma's house which was really nice. He doesn't like to chill at home all day while his family is away I guess! I just took him to work and then finishing up here with laundry. I love days at Grams though it is so nice to have the company and Wyatt LOVES being here.
Yeah so nothing too much I guess!
Peace

My Love

I am amazed at Ben. He is so gracious. I have been feeling a bit blue lately, so my amazing sister asked me to come out to pizza with her and a friend, and he so graciously offered to keep the kids home while I went for a sort of girls night. And then today I had planned to take the kids, and my Grandma to Mayfair because we have needed to get the ipod fixed for like three months and I need to return some stuff to Macy's and whatnot, so kind of planning a fun mall morning trip, he again, graciously offered to keep the kids home while I run the errands. I am appreciative in times like this of his offer because it isn't a big deal to take the kids with, but it makes for a quicker time around the mall to the places I need to go, and makes for less stress if needed to wait in line (have you ever even been in the Apple store? It is usually really busy and after the holidays....). So I am really appreciative of my husband. He is teaching me so much lately, making me look at different perspectives on what I am reading in the Bible. It is a requirement of our class that we read the Bible, so I have read through Genesis, Matthew, and now I am half way through Exodus. He always reminds me of small things while reading like since I am in Exodus, I am reading about Moses and what God spoke to him, and he reminded me that with all that Moses has to portray (from God) to Pharoah, that it was actually spoken through Aaron, that Moses didn't actually say it (which is wierd just because the Bible kind of puts it like "Moses said to Pharoah" but he didnt!) Ben actually said that he heard at one point that Moses actually had a studder...
Anyhow, I am just appreciative of his patience!
The weekend was good, but short. This week will be busy, today is mall/grocery shopping and then home in the evening, tomorrow is home with the kids, and then Wednesday is to Grams... and then babysitting for the rest of the weekend. Wowza. Needless to say, I went back to caffienated coffee! The decaf was killin me!
Sometimes I blog about silly things, I know, but this is how I journal, I don't really write a journal anymore (I used to spend a considerable amount at the end of each day journaling but I type much faster :)) so it is cool to keep track if for nothing else but to look back later and remember what was going on at this point of my life.
Oh yeah big boy bed update ;) Ben moved the kids room around a bit while I was out on my girls night, and moved Wyatts bed right next to Adalai. It is helpful for bedtimes, truely! But they wake up at the same time always, I am just thankful that she has been sleeping through the night... So they wake up kind of early, but I would rather wake up at 6am, then numerous times through the night!!!
Peace to you this week....
