Mama Time

If you have spent any time with me in the past 3 years, you know that I feel a little scattered most of the time. I work at home for my awesome sister, Jackie, doing books and stuff. Don't ask me what my title is, I really don't have a clue. Anyway, I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my kids AND have a job at the same time, but let me tell you, it isn't easy to take care of kids and work at the same time! I really do like my job, but it is difficult to balance kid time, work time, clean time, church-calling time, excercise time, cook time, husband time, and everything else that you all understand! So, I have finally decided to stop all my whining and do something about it! Starting yesterday (ha ha ha) I have decided that from 11 am to 3 pm, it is strictly kid time. We have lunch together, then we play together.
Yesterday, we went to a park and had a little picnic. It was lots of fun. Elijah was SO upset when I took him out of the swing. Zion wasn't thrilled about leaving, either. Today, we made sun-catchers. Luckily both Nikoli and Zion love artsy things because I do too! Nikoli now has 6 suncatchers on the window next to his bed. What a cutee! Of course, Zion painted all of hers purple, ENTIRELY purple, but did such a good job and didn't get one drop of glass stain on her clothes. I really like mine, too, but I let Nikoli put them up in his window.
