Great Friday!

Most of you know I am a big fan of organization.

This Friday my Mom came out to give me a hand cleaning and organizing our crawl space.  I soon found out where my organizational skills came from, my Mom is a pro!  She had that room organized and it tip-top shape in no time.  I was so stupidly happy about it I was smiling the whole time.  Strange I know.

Afterwards, Mom watched Zach so Murray and I could go out to dinner and a movie and spend some much needed quality time together.  It was so nice.

Now I know this isn't the usually way people spend Good Friday but I have to say that my family had a Great Friday!

Happy Easter!

Good to be back...

Yesterday was my first day back substitute teaching since Zachary was born.

I was anxious and excited to be back in the classroom again.  I got to school early, read over my notes, and I thought I was prepared.

On my way to my homeroom in the morning 3 students came rushing at me from the door and said 'Mrs B, Mrs B, someone puked"!  Sure enough as I entered the room one poor boy had thrown up all over himself and the floor in a huge stinky mess.

I smiled to myself and thought 'ahhhh its good to be back'!

Happy Wednesday!

An Egg-stra Special Day!

It was chaos...

7 kids...

3 dozen eggs...

and about 600 pictures later...

Yesterday a few lady friends and I got together to take some Easter photos.  They were the photographers I was happy to be the kid distractor and happy face maker.

It was a chaotic but fun afternoon and we did end up with a few great shots.

Thanks Ladies.

The whole gang

Happy Thursday!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

I am so excited... I am flying to Ontario and visit my sister for four whole days without Zachary...

I am so nervous... I am flying to Ontario to visit my sister for four whole days without Zachary...

I am definitely having mixed feelings about the trip.  I am so looking forward to sharing some pre-wedding excitement with my sister but four days seems like a long time to be away from Zach, even though I know Murray and Zachary will do fine together.  Murray is a really pro and I know Zachary loves when he gets Daddy time.

I think all you Mommies out there know just how I am feeling this morning.

I will leave you with some birthday photos from last week.

Our Happy Little Birthday Boy!

What happened when Zach decided he didn't need a morning nap?

He fell asleep before lunch!

Happy Wednesday!

Around Our House

With Murray away the past couple of weeks Zachary and I hav tried to stay busy to pass the time quicker.  Here are a few pictures from around our house.

Zachary practicing with his fork

Rory came over for a sleepover.  They both had a lot of fun in the tub together.

Shopping at Home Depot.

Going for a sleigh ride around Grandma Jeannie and Grandpa Terry's farm.  He enjoyed it a lot more than this picture would lead you to believe...honest.

Only one more sleep until Dada comes home!

Happy Monday!
