Busy Life

Life around here seems to never slow down.

Bean had a field trip yesterday and I went with her. I enjoyed it but was rather ready to get My ass off a bus full of 6 year olds. I was in charge on 4 little girls and was ready to ship them back to their mothers by the end of the day. I forgot how hyper little girls can be.

Bean seems to be having a bit of trouble at school. Nothing huge but she just keeps forgetting to turn things in. Such as homework, lunch money, notes. It is driving Me insaine. No matter how many times I remind her she still forgets. I am to call the teacher tomorrow to figure out what is going on. She has told me everything is "stressful" that she just forgets. In my asking what is so stressful about it she tells Me...

"I am talking to the girls and I forget"

Giggles... wonders when she will learn to not tell EVERYTHING to mom!

Goo is doing well. Has his bottom teeth in and is fighting through the top two. It is making life around here almost unbearable! Unlike Bean, he is not one that naps during the day. She was a wonderful sleeper. Loved to nap and loved to sleep all night. He on the other hands does not sleep through and will not nap for more then 30 minutes at a time. It makes a mother want to pull her hair out.

Trust me... I sooo want to pull it out!

Love,
The Mom

Wonderful Weekend

Things have been quite busy around here. Yet then again what else is new?

The weekend turned out to be quite wonderful. Friday Bean had her first friend over for dinner to play. They had a wonderful time and I am just starting to get the feel for a loud, kid filled home. Although I must admit that 9pm (The time she left) did not come soon enough!

Saturday the four of us went to a festival. We all had such a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and it was nice to actually get out and spend time just relaxing.
Petey works a lot and finding time to do something we all like together is not always an easy task. I know it will only get harder as the kids grow. And I am seeing they do grow fast. Perhaps too fast for my liking.

We spent some time taking walks in the woods on sunday and took what bean calls a mini vacation. A mini vacation is when we pack a lunch, get in the car and point directions we want to go. No matter where we end up. We ended up being in the car for 6 hours. Stopping anywhere and everywhere we wanted. Had our lunch, MaGoo had his first swing ride and giggled the entire time. We saw a beautiful waterfall in which Bean and I stuck our heads in! Took several walks, pick more then enough flowers and ate way too much icecream.

Although I must say that Petey laughs at Bean and I because every flower or rock we take we thank mother earth. He calls us "Nature hippies" . I suppose in some way we are.

I have been in great study in herbalism and shamanism. I am throughly enjoying it. Everyone thinks it is a bit off the wall but when have I not been eccentric? A bit strange or into things that normal people aren't. Anyhow I have been enjoying it very much and My herb and oil cabinet is overflowing. Bean has enjoying learning about it too. I suppose you could say we are taking those studies together.

The week as well will start to get busy, so I wanted to quickly write!

Blessings,
The Mom

A tooth, sitting up and being a drag!

Goo has tooth!
One popping up on the bottom and it brings back such cute memories from when Hannah was that little! He keeps biting his tongue and lip because he is not used to it yet. How neat to watch them go through all the first's in life.

It amazes Me how quickly both babies are growing. Goo is sitting up now and played ball with Bean on the floor this evening. Bean did not move that quickly through all the first's. He on the other hand is moving very quickly. Then again I think with your first one you can not wait for them to do everything and watch everyday if there are doing it or not yet. The second it pop's up on you because you are not watching as closely.

Bean spent the day with grandma and grandpa. Being dragged around the yard by their dog Tippy. She loves spending time with them and I enjoy that she loves that. I enjoyed that too and always loved the fact that my grandparents were in my life. She is lucky that hers are so wonderful.

I am off to bed, still feeling under the weather but did not want to miss out on writing about this wonderful day of firsts!
