our crazy life

I haven't been blogging as much anymore because I feel like the time I have is precious and I'd rather be doing things for my family and others than blogging. Life has been CRAZY lately. And here's just a preview of what life has been like for us lately with a recap of last week.

Last Sunday - church stuff in the morning and then pool party with the youth group kids that evening

Monday - Go over to Mary's in the morning to help her celebrate her birthday and have a playdate. Went to dinner with my family.

Tuesday - Met several old high school friends at the park and had a great time catching up. Cleaned house, did laundry. Then had small group that evening at our house.

Wednesday - Went with a new friend, Sara, and her kids to the WOW kids area at Botanical Gardens. Ran errands in the afternoon. 8:30 service band practice in the evening.

Thursday - Worked from 8-12 since a lady was out for surgery. Pool with the family in the afternoon. Ice cream outing with one of the youth group girls. Then fantasy football draft that evening.

Friday - Worked from 8-2 like normal. Hung out for a bit at the parents house. Went on a date with my hubby.

Saturday - Grocery shopping in the morning. Church picnic in the afternoon. Relaxed that evening.

Sunday - church stuff in the morning, youth group in the evening, and then a cookout at a friend's house.

Having a calendar has become very very important and keeping track of everything. I'm trying to really focus in on what's most important for me and family and using my time wisely. Lily and Matt come first no matter what. And making sure we have quality good family time is the most important thing.

Lily is really growing like a weed. We've been having so much fun together and I'm so glad I get to be a stay at home mom to enjoy her. I have so much fun playing around on the floor and having tickle fights. She thinks it's hilarious when I do "the claw" now and does it herself. She holds up her arm and says "da claw." She loves yogurt smoothies, doing handstands, wearing her backpack, mickey mouse clubhouse, harris teeter driving grocery carts, veggietales, singing veggietunes in the car, walking around in her duck towel, wearing her bathing suit, trying on my shoes, big hugs, playing chase, taking her shoes off in the car, playing hide and go seek, slides, and books. She does NOT like getting her hair washed, messes, suspense, having her hair put in a ponytail. As you can see my list of things I can think of that she doesn't like is much less. Lily is really a happy little girl and loves life. I love her so much!!! I'm going to miss these toddler days when she grows up!
