I know it might seem detached or not so legit when a blogger person says “thank you” to internet readers, but I hope you know I’m totally legit and all types of for realz when I say “Thank you”.  My little piece of the internet is so tiny and small and rambly and unorganized compared to lots of other amazing bloggers out there who are crazy awesome and have ginormous numbers that would blow mine out of the water, so I’m always so humbled when something is so well received or when you guys share such kind and thoughtful things with me or when you choose to share a piece of your story.  It’s a total honor.  Thank you for all the sweetness which came flooding my way yesterday with the announcement of the craft nights I am starting.  I just could never say thank you enough.  God uses each of us to encourage and uplift one another and yesterday you totally made me feel encouraged and uplifted.  Thank you!

The class is filled, but I do have a wait list going, so if you are interested in getting on the wait list just shoot me a message HERE.  The “plan” is once I get February’s class under my belt, I will have 1-2 classes each month.  That is the “plan”, but I choose to use quotations around the word plan because life happens.  Can I get a word up?!?!  But that is my goal.

In other unrelated news, we are on our third snow day.  It’s warming up a bit, but still way too cold for my liking.  We may be getting a little stir crazy.

Clearly we’ve been inside for far too long.  But we’re passing the time with movies and rotating iPad time and crafts and drawing and baths (yes, you read that correctly) and trying to get along and playing and reading.  It’s been fun and intense.

I’m happy to report that our new years resolution for bathing our kids more often is going quite well.  Like today, they all got baths and it’s a Wednesday.  That never happens.  I’m feeling quite proud and accomplished.  We may have made a plan on our chalkboard that mapped out what days are bath days.  No, we are not bathing them every day yet…baby steps folks, baby steps.  Harper reminded me this morning:

H:  “Don’t forget it’s a bath day Mom.”

M:  “Thanks Harper.  I almost forgot.”

H:  “The boys should probably go first since they never got their bath on our last bath day.”

M:  “Oh yeah, you’re totally right.  I completely forgot.  Good thinking.”

Do you see what I’m working with?  Our 6-year-old keeps us in line.  I can’t keep up.  I am clearly not one of those moms who can swing more than 5 children when I’m barely making it with 4 🙂  They would for sure be destined for smellyness.  Oddly enough, we do brush our teeth.  They have a grand total of 0 cavities between the 4 of them. #winning

Now if you will excuse me, we are drawing and cutting out new guns and hot chocolate is on our radar.

Happy Wednesday!
