We're busy!

LL started school a few weeks ago, and boy, how life has changed!  We're busy!  He's only in school 3 days a week, I can't imagine how it'll be for us once he's in school full time.  LL is like a sponge right now, he's so fascinated with learning.  Big L and I realize what an important time this is for him and we encourage his desire to learn...but you know what?  THAT TAKES WORK! 

He is totally into coloring & activity books right now.  I go to the Dollar Tree and buy like 5-6 at a time and he is just whizzing through them.  We sit and go through them all, page by page.  He's learning his letters and the sounds that accompany them, so we work on his flash cards, and his alpha friends.  We read books.  Let me tell you, we read books!  It's exhausting but totally worth it.  He has learned to write his name already and it is very rewarding to see how he has grown in just the short time he has been in school.

I know how blessed I am to be able to stay home and raise my children.  I hope to be able to maximize that benefit and put as much into my kids as possible.  The funny thing is though, in order to do that, other things have to slide.  My house isn't as tidy as I would like it to be, we're not living in squalor or anything but it's just not the way I like it.  It's alright though, I'll figure out how to balance it all soon enough (that's what I keep telling myself).  For now though, I just don't understand how those super mom's out there do it all. I wish I knew their secrets because by the end of the day, I'm tired. 

I'm tired but I'm happy.  My kids are happy, and my husband is happy.  That's all that matters...
