Just a quick post for today...and of course had to show off some "snaps" from the last 3 days. Of my beautiful Trepak/Russian ballerina before her Friday night debut show :) Doesn't she look so grown up now?! So proud of her!
And the kids during the snow storm (our snow day!) on Friday. You can even see the snow still coming down...
My kids all dressed up yesterday before Hailey went to her final Nutcracker show. Ash went with me...she was pretty excited as you could tell! Check out all that snow! Logan was hitting Ash with the Nutcracker. He has successfully already broken one Nutcracker (nice job, mini-Fritz!) :)
Hays before yesterday's show. This is the MAC (Musical Arts Center) where she performs. Check out the snow! It's never been this snowy for one of our Nutcrackers before!
Just had to add a couple pics for Nina :) Of Hailey in her new dress, which got lost in the mail and arrived about 2 hours before we needed it on Thursday night! Phew! Glad it made it before the snow b/c we haven't had mail since! She looked beautiful. Never shopped Forever 21 before, but they have great stuff and we got this one on clearance! And below is Hays after the show...by the big Nutcracker :)
Us last night in the Live Nativity. Kev was in the Last Supper scene and the kids were in Jesus and the Children scene. Hays and I switched off so this was my turn to be in the scene. She watched Logan for me. Our Uncle Randy and Cousins, Alyssa and Harrison were in it too. It was a cold night to sit outside for this! BRRR!
My baby pretty much hates the cold white stuff, but here was one pic of him not crying on Friday as he discovered it. Sweet boy!
So, here we are on Monday...it's been a weird morning. Got up and ready to go--at the normal 6:45. Got Hailey's lunch all packed and was ready to get all the kiddos up, when Kev came down and said there was a delay. Apparently we missed the 5am phonecall from the school system. One down side of not having a phone in your bedroom, I guess. We did go back to bed, but not the same slumber we were pretty much awake. Ash then only had 1 hour of preschool. Not really even worth it to go home in that amount of time. I did get myself and Logan fed and he got a 30 minute nap, but still not ideal. So much for getting this house cleaned up after the Nutcracker craziness! Now Christmas prep really begins. School holiday activities, school programs, Christmas parties, shopping (hopefully all online!), 1st bday party prep and packing for FL among many, many other things. I am not sure how I am going to get this all done in 2 weeks time, especially with a baby who is into everything!! At this point I'm keeping it all in stride, but check back in a week or two to see how my sanity is :)
The wonderful, yet often hairpulling life story of a stay-at-home mom of five cuties (Hailey, Shelby, Dylan, Ashley & Logan) and the journey through life raising our family with the best hubby around (love you, Kevin), and enjoying the blessings God provides to us daily while trying to keep it all in perspective when bumps in the road arise!
