One thing at a time

Today after doing a number of things on my schedule, I was reminded of the saying, "there's not enough hours in the day". Bein a mother of three, a wife, a business owner, a friend, crafter, musician, artist, a freaking awesome halloween fanatic and person of faith, I wear many hats and not enough hours to wear them. But today I got to wear a great hat. My time here on earth as a mother has been the best so far. I jumped on the "jumpoline" with 2 of my kids this morning at a friends house. So fun. Their smiles and giggle after each time their feet come back to the surface and their bodies are jolted around ending in a face plant or burn. I'm reminded of the fun me and my sister Tasha would have jumping ever so high while on lookers stopped and watched. The slumber parties we would have only to find ourselves gathered in the middle of the trampoline where gravity met with us. Jumping while the sprinkler was is under it. Laying underneath the tramp while others were jumping. Oh the thrills we shared with that. The fun we had outside with no electronics. Video games were far and in between.
I love my kids.
I love little moments and I am reminded that I have to take my responsibilities that I choose to have, one at a time so I can give my all to each of them.

Have a great day,
Tricia

A day to look forward to

With all the craziness in my life right now, no wonder I look forward to the weekend. Overdue quality playing time with the kids, sleeping in...wait that never happens, homemade breakfasts, fresh air, maybe throw in a pointless 5 minute nap on the floor when the littles are trying to play airplane on you. It's all that I look forward to. No agenda no expectations. So today we did just that.

Got a much needed phone call from a gentleman that asked for my thoughts and ideas on a. Haunted house he is doing for a fundraiser. Um YES! Since I had to cancel my own haunted house this year cause other things have made me too busy to do so. And what was his theme? Insane asylum! Just like mine. I suggested he come over so we could really go over what I could help out with. He displayed a layout of a empty house that the owners are letting them use. How cool!? He then told me he has been following my halloween Pinterest board, YES! So we planned and I suggested and I gave him the props I had to use. I won't be in charge of this event but you better know I am helping out as much as I can. Yay!
So since we had pulled out the props I made last year, I then decorated the from yard a little. Just need some massive spider webs and a few body bags and I'll be complete.

It was a beautiful day today. The weather being perfect to be playing in the front. Bikes were out, sidewalk chalk, the dog...yes finally it is getting cooler. So to celebrate he change, I made a yummy treat tonight for our movie night. White chocolate covered pretzel popcorn. Deliciously creamy salty and crunchy. Perfection. Good day!

Greyson first big owie

Little guy sprained his wrist. He was pitching a fit while I was holding his hand and he started to throw his body around. I held on tightly to prevent him hitting his head on the ground. Instead his wrist popped and we went to the ER. He now sports the cutest little brace and pats ever so gently while saying. "Ow" with a little pitiful cry. Love this kid.
