New School Year

The kids are officially back to school. Where did our summer go? Jimena is attending full day, getting off at 3p.m. and Moises well he is perfectly fine with 3 hours. Jimena you go to school so calm, carrying a pleasant smile with you. I wish I was that calm when I was young. You are trying the school lunch and well so far I have gotten very few happy faces meaning you don't really like the food, but you will keep trying until your laptop lunch arrives in the mail. Moises, your still in Lupitas class for the rest of the week until the transition you in to Children's house. I know you don't fit in those small chairs but your not to excited about going back since you keep repeating how much you want to just stay home to play. I love how you find comfort at home, never wanting to leave unless it's to go to the park. Both of you are growing so fast and I want to make sure I don't stay behind growing alongside you.

Goals for the School Year:
1. Jimena and Moises will dress themselves in the mornings.
2. Brush teeth after breakfast and dinner.

Role Playing

How I love being home. My kiddos role playing constantly. "Bus driver (in this case M) driving the kids to school, all the stuffed animals were gathered on to the little bed while the driver sat on a white pillow, sounding out the bus...ruum, ruum. Teacher (in this case J) waiting patiently in the closet, I mean school ready to receive all the kids....but what's this, Barney is crying because Mommy (in this case M) left and its her first day. Everything is OK because teacher (J) is there with her sweet voice to tell Barney she will take care of him, because she has a clean heart. Later that day....Mommy (M) comes back to pick up the kids, daddy can't because he is on the choo, choo. Kids play is so sweet, so pleasant. Thank you God for such a blessing.

Garage work

Day 3 of working on the garage. My dad is converting the garage and the kids keep asking me why buelo is making holes in the walls. David actually got into it as well, as he was my dad's helper, I was so proud of him for helping out and getting along with out to much opinion. My mom has been coming to eat since she has to eat lunch with the hubby and I've been enjoying showing off my cooking skills. The kids had a hard time waking up this morning since today was our families official start of the new time change. By 2pm the kiddos were already cranky so off to bed I sent them and in less than 20 minutes both were fast asleep. Can't wait to get our house back to normal.....its messy everywhere, I'm hoping having more space with the garage will change that.

I'm home.

I quit, I finally quit my job. My husband is back at work and I'm finally at home with my kiddos. How I missed them so much, how I yearned to spend the days with them reading books, baking cookies, just being in their presence. But I'm home now and how happy I am, how happy they are, how happy my husband is. Our life just feels right, with me at home, it felt chaotic when I was a way, day after day of leaving them, leaving them to days filled with up in the air activities, instead of to order, instead of to balance, instead of to peace. The kids were stressed, my children were tired, they wanted me home and I wanted so bad to be there. But God knows why he does things and now he knows that I should be home once again with my children, taking my role back from my husband, from my mom, taking my role back to do what I do best, raise my children. Today ends our spring break, where we woke up late, played endlessly and read and abundance of books....where we just stayed home. My kids love being home, they dislike much spending time out, what is out there that isn't at home. J, M....I want to give you my love, my respect I want to give you your mother as she should be. Husband....I want to give you your home.

Love Always.

I can't keep up with this blog...but I'm trying.

I currently haven't been writing in this blog but I do see myself eventually using it because I want to document my family life even if its only for myself.
