Back to Reality…

Well, my husband now deserves the "Husband of the Year" award- maybe "Husband of the Century" as he managed to hold down the fort for 7 long days while I was out playing 🙂  I came home to 3 very sick kids (Pneumonia) and a Sparkling clean house- he even vacuumed the floors!  He managed to run his business of 5 employees, keep up with the crazy schedules of 3 little ones who were not sleeping at night- very, very sick AND still had time to clean the house before I got home! Did I mention he did the laundry?  He is amazing.

I’ll post more about CKU & Audrey’s workshop later. My kids want to play 🙂 Until next time-

Off to Detroit…

Well, I’m off to Detroit on Wednesday for 5 days of scrapbooking fun with my mom & sisters- can’t wait. From there, I fly to Chicago to meet the ever so talented Audrey Woulard for a few days. What an amazing week ahead of me. Hopefully my poor husband will survive it- 3 kids, 2 businesses, 5 employees, 1 preschool schedule, 1 in diapers, clients calling…. he’s more than capable. He IS superman, after all 🙂

Santa Monica Boulevard….

… or, rather, Montana Blvd.  We went out "surveying" with James today- FUN!  It is one of my VERY FAVORITE things to do. We wake up at 5:30 am, get dressed in our "surveying" shirts, pick out a few books/ toys for the ride, stop at Starbucks, get the guys started on a job & then go out to breakfast and hang out in really cool cities. Today it was Santa Monica… and Brentwood. I LOVE it when the week starts out this way.  We ate at this really cool diner called "Snug Harbor"- It was so awesome! They had blankets for those of us who are always cold (me and my children).

James was gone all weekend with the boys, golfing. I would post some pix of that, but he didn’t take a camera 🙁  He gets a weekend away and in April, I get an ENTIRE WEEK away here.   Can’t wait for that!

The boys start T-ball practice this week- our very first adventure in organized sports. I’m sure I’ll have WAY too many photos to post of that! 

Happy Monday 🙂

OFFICE NIGHT

I LOVE Wednesdays now. Purposeful Parents in the morning (Kennedy is sick & I couldn’t go this morning- I hate to miss it), home in time to pick Cade up from Preschool, lunch, naps & then Awana. James is a cubby leader so he takes both the boys & I get Kennedy for the night. Good one on one time with her- I can never get enough of that. 7:00pm bed time & I get to work in the office. Yes, I said "i GET to work in the office."  I LOVE IT!  Balancing the checkbook is one of my favorite things in life. 

Monday night I met an amazing family- 4 boys & they were all ready to model for me- I was loving it! Here are a few shots for you to enjoy!
