Crazy Times...

So I have a few minutes to write before I need to hop up and make breakfast and dinner and then head out to the gym. 12minutes to be exact, I feel like I am in a race. WHy 12minutes you ask, because 7am is when I start things around here, breakfast that is.
Now for a little catch up, we recently Celebrated Easter and it was so great! I baked Easter story cookies with the boys and we went through the bible and we put in the ingredients discussing how Jesus suffered, was only given vinegar to drink and everything. It was a great hands on learning experience. Then when they woke up the cookies were hollow, just like Jesus' tomb! Awesome!
We also got a kitten right before Henry's bday, her name is Lois. The kids love her, and I admit we love her just as much. Having a little kitten is so funny. She eats scraps of kid food off the floor like a dog, she runs around like she is on crack, just plain fun.
The boys have also started baseball and that keeps us busy four days a week. Two practices and two games days. We have entered the sport days. I can only imagine what it will be like when there are three. We will have to start splitting up. haha. It is great. I love everything about watching them do their sports. I love being a mom, it is really the best.
Olive got a tea set from Grammy and Grampa for Easter and right now she is pouring tea, can I say how much I love this. Really is there anything cuter? A little girl pouring some tea.

Princess Stella's Worst Day Ever

So today I sat down with the three oldest, Jules(yes she isn't mine, but I still consider her part of the clan while she is here!) Henry, and Hudson. I had told them earlier that we would write a story and of course they remembered so he we were later that day doing just that. I asked them to come up with some basic ideas and then I would help form their ideas into a story. Their ideas were this.
1. princess rides bike, runs over a broom and the broom hits her in the head and get her a big bump.
2. The princess was at a feast and was eating spaghetti and the noodle slaps her in the face, she starts to get sick.
3. Princess was dancing with the King and then pukes right in his FACE!
the end. here is how the story turned out...

One day Princess Stella was riding her bike and she ran over a broom and it smacked her in the head! Poor Stella was so sad she had a huge goose egg on her head.
After Princess Stella got her wits about her she set off down the road for home. It was time for her favorite dinner, spaghetti. There was to be a big feat tonight and as Stella took her first bite the noodle slapped her face and everyone stared. She quickly slurped up her noodle but realized upon swallowing that this noosle was wiggling inside of her!!! EEEWWWW!!
As the night wore on Princess Stella was begginning to feel a little funny. Her Father, King Nash, asked her to dance, but as the spun across the dance floor she began to feel sicker, and sicker, until.... BBBBLLLAAAACCCCHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!all over her Daddy!!!! King Nash was covered in Puke!
It was a horrible day for poor Princess Stella!
The End


I enjoyed watching them do this thoroughly(sp) and if I can figure out how to get their illustrations up on here I will.
