I thought I'd share a bit about what we've been up to. We're trying to get back to 'normal' around here (as if we're normal) and I think it is working. I have my moments of ups and downs, crying and anger, but I know it is 'normal'. It is weird how much calmer I am with the children when Zach is around compared to when he's gone. I hate that it is like that. But I'm sure that this, too is 'normal'.
Friday the kiddos and I loaded up and I took them to the park to play with some new friends and enjoy a picnic. They had so much fun. I came home looking like Rudolph. The sun was shining on me, but it didn't occur to me that my nose was getting burnt in the process. Oh well...an early start on a 'tan'. In the evening Princess and I planted some seeds in some plastic cups.
Saturday we did a few St. Patrick's Day type things...had green food coloring in the toilet, Zach made them green Cream of Wheat, talked about the day, Patrick, green and colored some shamrocks. We all were festive and wore green too. Oh, that morning my Little Princess and I went to garage sales. I think we only stopped at two, but I found some cool children's books and a shirt and sweater for the Princess.
Sunday evening I went back and started teaching at Cubbies again. It was nice to be back, although I was exhausted by the end of the day (we'd had toddler nursery that morning). I also had the chance to take Little Man to play at McDonald's, spending some one on one with him and also catching up with a friend.
Today we delved right into school. Princess finally hit lesson 100 so we did a few fun things with that. We're all talking about Spring this week, since Wednesday is the first day of Spring. I have many books out for us to read and have some other activities planned. We'll see if we get to them though! I'd like to take Little Man and have him plant some seeds! I need to get into Princess's science again- she's learning about horses. The plan is to go and visit some horses once we're done with the unit.

I understand when you say that you are calmer when your hubby is around. I get so excited when my dh gets home or will be home all day. Even having him work in his home office calms me, even though he is not interacting with us at all. I think it is a great indicator of how calming a godly husband can be!
Sounds like you did some fun stuff or St. Patrick's day. Can't wait till garage sales start up here.
That is some cool St. Patrick's day stuff I never even thought of. I have become so boring when it comes to the minor holidays.
I have been thinking of you and praying for you.

You do such fun things with your kids. I wish I had been more festive and thoughtful. Thanks for giving me good ideas!
Might could was pretty funny too.
Sounds like you had a fun weekend. You could have added blue food coloring to the toilet and had them turn it green! LOL! Hope your noise is better and yes it is normal to be calmer with your kids when hubby is around....you dont feel so outnumbered then!
Well I got most of my ideas from other blogs or the internet. I figured we'd do something with the day because we hadn't done anything like that in awhile and also because we just finished talking about Patrick. Normally I don't do much with the holidays at all! We had fun though!
I love the green cream-of-wheat idea! Don't know if I could get my guy to eat it, though.
Above comment is me...accidentally hit enter before I'd finished typing my name!
