(We had to wait a little longer than the other kids to move Levi to the backwards facing booster b/c Maddie is still in ours… so we were waiting for our friends to finish using their extra one… He’s loving the new found freedom of sight in the car now!)

Life around here is slowly settling back into a normal routine.  It took us the better part of last week trying to find our “normal” again.  We had to get caught back up on house stuff, do mountains of laundry, wrap up contest stuff, finish a painting that had been requested and, of course, enjoy spending time with the kiddos again!

But we are finally settling back.  In fact, just yesterday night Tim and I watched an episode of “Planet Earth” just for fun!!! I know, it’s so crazy!   What?  Spend time relaxing?  Weird, eh?

Levi is continuing to win the weight battle!

The other day my student (she’s in 3rd grade) decided that THIS would be the best place for her music.  I laughed and asked where her hands would go then… she declared that they would just have to play around the book.  And so she did.

She’s also the student that looked at me one week and exclaimed, “Why do we only have piano once a week?  I miss you so much then!”

🙂

I thought the kids were goofing around being wild in our room and instead I found them snuggled in our bed reading Josiah’s Bible.

So. Sweet.

Things have definitely picked up in terms of “crazy contest stress” around here. Phone calls, emails, scheduling fiascos, you name it. But hey! Contest is one week from Saturday, so that’s really not too bad. I can totally do this!

But I haven’t had time to write anything. Sorry! I guess you’ll just have to guess how life looks here right now:  Imagine life with 4 kids, a crazy busy Mom, Tim starting back on bids early since it’s been so nice, and trying to keep maintaining the Fritz weight-loss challenge… can you see it in your head?

No?

Huh. I sure can!  🙂

I’ll try and post some pictures even if I can’t write.
