Tooth Loosing Time

Teething and now loosing teeth really? Can I tell you how much I love blogs now for forever capturing this??

Where is the time going?

Sitting in the three minute zone at my child school waiting to pick him up. It's thing one. And I am thinking "oh my gosh where has the last seven years gone?" I have this totally sweet Seven year old toothless wonder. I am going to miss this stage! I love them all right now! I just want to freeze my boy right now. Never want to see him grow up!
Oh man his chess skills are kicking my behind!

We play games once a week with his class and their families. It is math focused so they are learning and having tons of fun.

Blockus and checkers are a common favorite. This last week I came across the game of "Perfection"
The sound of the timer alone shot me back about 25 years! Then the memory of pure panic driven scrambling to match up rhomboids, squares, rectangles and the elusive quarter pie piece of tiny plastic into separate holes. It added a whole new element of terror as you realized all your hard work went up in a horrible yellow cloud of Chaos at the end if 60 short seconds.

We won't be purchasing that game;)

Ice Cream traditions!

Tuesdays are Ice Cream days I love it. Saturdays are Farmer's Market day and now we have Friday fun days.
I am loving the warm weather but cloudy the last couple of days.
There is this fountain that has a clock on top and all three of my kids this Tuesday licked the water! To the pure disgust of the family we met up with. Yeah if you hang with us your gag reflex maybe tested.

This weekend was awesome

Lounging= cleaning reminders. I can't believe the loads of laundry that have piled and unpiled themselves as we listened to conference. I know, I know, I need to listen and pay attention right?? Well you haven't seen my house lately and the transformation that has taken place.

My bedroom alone just threw up three trash bags full of clothes for the SWAP on Wed. And that was from the clean bins! I am going to be shocked at what is next. The kids helped after they each sat and with the computer in their laps for a single talk. Thing 1 watched the E. Oaks talk and said.

"This guy says "Desires" so many times MOM!"
Lol he did sit and listen to the whole thing.

The Band and I watched the inbetween messages on Sunday. Totally both of us lost it on the E. Holland Mormon Message about the young family and the Dad who broke down in the car. Huh did that hit home? Yeah just a bit.

Can't wait to do more laundry and listen to the conference again!
