Out of Uniform!!!

It is always an exciting day when the uniform is traded in for jeans and today was no exception. Danny was so excited when he remembered that he could wear whatever he wanted today. He chose to sport the 2010 National Championship shirt and jeans. He looked so cute! Of course he has worn it all before but not to school! So he was excited to say War Eagle in Orange and Blue! He said he had a great day and that is what is most important to me.

We picked up John Michael from Nana's and he of course had a great time too.

The boys were exhausted and it was no better for mom and dad. We accomplished the dining room and the living room so that is done. Monica vs. the House and right now Monica (and family) are kicking the booty! Next week will be the bedrooms, den and office! I might have to hit the office first since I need to get everything ready for taxes! We shall see how it all works out, especially considering that next week will be hectic as we celebrate Catholic Schools Week.

We were able to get outside for a while after homework was done and that was nice. I am so excited about this weekend. The temps are supposed to be in the upper 60's. Now next week is not looking so nice, but one day at a time! We plan to enjoy the weekend and all of the things that we have to do and want to do. It will be busy, but fun and best of all a lot of it will be outside, thanks to the great weather!

Well, still not in bed by 9, but one day it will happen and it will probably be the title for the day's blog!

I will be remembering you all in my thoughts and my prayers! You know it is amazing how some people do not believe that Catholics are Christians or that we do not pray, or that we do not pray right, but being Catholic means being a Christian and as I am watching my children grow in their faith I know that it true. It is a blessing to be as close to God as we are, and I am thankful that my parents (even though my dad was not Catholic) ensured that the basis of my beliefs were Catholic, pro-life, and blessed!

Some Days Bed Time is the Best Time

Well since December 2010 my boys have not been at school for an entire week! Now this is exhausting to momma! I love being home with them, and I love being able to be at the school when I am needed, but I also need to be able to take care of my house and for a month it has been seriously neglected. Now this might be a short week, but I am determined to kick serious house butt this week. I will keep everyone updated via the blog!

John Michael did wake up in an amazing mood and wanted to make his daddy some cheese toast. It was so so sweet!

Today the boys were wild. I kept sending them outside, but some fight would break out and they would come in screaming. I even went out for a little while, but it did not help. I am ready for Spring, we are definitely more adapt to warm weather. This cold winter is starting to get the best of us all. And the s word is back in the forecast...seriously?!?!

We had a wonderful dinner at Logan's with my mom. She is leaving for California with three of her best friends in the morning and she wanted to see us before she left. They should have a wonderful time and I am so happy for them! Had I taken any of my cameras that probably would have been included in the pictures. Oh well...next time!

Tonight my blessings came in the form of bedtime. The boys had their showers and John Michael went straight to bed, and after watching Sarah Pallin's Alaska on the DVR from last weekend Danny headed to bed. John Michael fell straight to sleep, but Danny wanted his picture taken first. Sometimes a few minutes of quiet is a blessing! I consider every second with the boys a blessing and I love the rowdiness that one day I will miss but today my nerves are rattled and I just looked forward to bedtime.

Before I go to bed I will be remembering all of my friends and family in my prayers. Especially those who like me are so ready for Spring and even better Summer. This year I plan to be in a place where we can enjoy the lake house that we have. More on that another day!
