All of a sudden life is at a standstill....woah that only lasted for about an hour. Life is always go go go with kids and a dog. Making dinner, giving baths, play time, changing diapers, cleaning, doing laundry, playing with toys, reading books, feeding Kyri (my favourite), making sure homework gets done, and driving kids to dance, swimming lessons and school. Watching Game of Thrones with Tod is our calm time, our relaxing time, while we eat our popcorn and cuddle. Love!
Goals/plans for this month:
- Kyri's swimming lessons
- Seth's swimming lessons
- West Edmonton Mall at the end of the month! Looking forward to that.
- I want to start making Christmas gifts. I'll need Tod's help with that.
- Help in the community some how. Any suggestions?
- Work on my cookbook
Our favourite family time is going for walks. The kids usually walk infront of us while they sing and play. It's nice to hear them so happy. Kyri loves walks too. She is always so quiet, looking around and enjoying the scenery. The ocean and mountains are at our front door. Tod and I just love to see the neighbourhood and just be together. I thank God everyday for all that we have.
