A sledding we will go!
Posted in on 9:58 AM by Tonia
Took the kids sledding last night. It was a warm evening for us here in MN! A whole 30 degrees! We had such a blast! I realized that I had never taken my children sledding before (bad mom). I laughed so hard at one point that I almost pee'd my pant's. It was so good to laugh and have such fun with my husband and children. We need to incorporate laughter more often into our lives.
That's it, just a quick post. I have got to find time to post some pictures!! Maybe this weekend! Our youngest (thing3) turns 2 on Monday the 2nd. So we are having a golden birthday party for him on Sunday. Should be fun!! I should have some pictures from that day to post.
Take care!

I am feeling it!

Just a quick note to jump on here and say I am feeling God's love today! It is hitting me hard for some reason and I am just happy beyond measure. I can't explain it but I am feeling his grace pour on me. Thank you father!! Thank you!
Isn't he awesome? He wants to lavish us with his love. I read that on another blog today. A mom is doing a bible study about mothering and we are to lavish our children with love and hugs and kisses like the father wants to do to us!
I am going to enjoy this burst of happiness and praise my heavenly father as I sit and work!

Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jig

We are home! We had a great weekend with friends and the kids had a great time with grandparents.
I didn't end up going to the show with hubby. He and 2 of his friends went and he said it was the worst show he has seen yet. That is pretty bad considering he has been going to them for the last 14 years. Keri and I headed to Ikea and a few other shops. We had a blast! Before we left the house that day we played hairdresser. :) It was just as much fun as when I was a kid. We took turns doing each other's hair. We were trying to per-fect the little poof that girls are wearing in their hair these days. We figured out that it takes A LOT of back combing!!
Let me get back to Friday. Keri and I had another day of girl time and went to a little ceramics shop to do some painting. It was very fulfilling. I made a cute little piggy bank for Griffin's birthday coming up and 4 little swirly eggs for Easter, and a "Celebrate You" plate for the family. I guess I will have to post pictures on here for everyone to see.
We did have a nice Valentine's together. The guys bought the girl's roses and we had supper. Then the girl's made the guys a wonderful dessert from Racheal (sp?) Ray!
It was so nice to have a whole weekend kid free. I did of course miss the "wee ones" but thoroughly enjoyed every minute away.
Tomorrow is a busy day with work, chiropractor, and bible study. Tuesday will be a slower day with Michael home. Hopefully I will be able to take some time to post some pictures then.
Also, just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother Tim today. He turns 34. I hope you had a wonderful day!! I was thinking about you all day. Take care and hope you are feeling better than you have been.

Getting ready for the weekend!
Posted in on 10:38 AM by Tonia
I am trying to get ready for the weekend coming up. My husband is taking me to the Motorcyle Show in Mpls. I have skipped a few years of going to the show so I suppose it is time to be supportive again.
We have Awana at church tonight. I am a co-Commander and my other half is out on maternity leave so I have a little more planning to do.
Then it is home to do laundry, give the stinky dog a bath, pack the kids' bags, pack our bags, pack up the dog food etc.
Somewhere in the there I need to keep checking on hubby who is down today with a 102 fever. The boys had this same virus last week and weekend. Praying that Macy and I don't get it.
Thursday it is off to work then pick up kids from daycare, pick up dog from home and bring them to the grandparent's house. Then drive down to the cities. aaahhhh. Then rest!!
Friday, Michael has to work at the show for a few hours in the evening but the rest of the weekend is open. Yay!! Hoping to have lots of fun and spend time with friends. Praying that the kids do well without mom and dad. Saturday they will get switched from my parents' house to Michael's parents' house. That way both grandparent's get to go crazy this weekend. :)
Enjoy your weekend! I have some new photos to post soon!

I am experimenting on my blog to see if I know how to add videos to it. Thanks for bearing with me.
Missing Thing 1
Posted in on 9:31 AM by Tonia
I am home again today with a sick Thing 2. He has had flu symptoms for the last few days and is hopefully on the mend. While I am thankful for the extra 2 days to be at home, when I should normally be at work, I have found myself missing my dear Thing 1. She is the big girl of the house and is away at school right now. I have been feeling like she gets lost in this crowd and ends up being my helper more than my little girl. So today as I am taking care of the boys (Thing 2 and Thing 3) and doing dishes and laundry I am going to think of ways that I can spend time with my dear sweet Macy and help her feel loved as much as she really truly is.
How do you find time with other children in the house to spend quality time with each one? I am looking for ideas that can be done in the house without another spouse around. Michael works so much that a lot of time it is just the kids and I. And of course we usually only have a few hours in the evening. Weekends too, I guess. Thanks for any input you have!
Have a thankful Thursday!

Under Construction
Posted in on 4:41 PM by Tonia
All,
This is so difficult when you do not know html. I guess I have some studying to do. This blog is under construction until then. So please disregard the items that do not look correct. :)
I am about to spend the evening with my family.
Take care,
Tonia
