Spring is in the air!

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there! Yesterday was an absolutely glorious day here and we enjoyed it to its fullest actually the whole weekend was beautiful! We think spring has finally arrive in our great state!

On Saturday, hubby and I picked up our adorable girls from the grandparents! They were kind enough to keep them overnight so hubby and I could go and meet our new niece. Little A is absolutely adorable and beautiful! I was so excited to meet her and can't wait to see her again! We were lucky enough to enjoy dinner out with my parents as well that night! Back to my girls! We picked them up and enjoyed breakfast out with my in laws! Then we dropped Miss Ania off to my parents who took her for some one on one time with them! Daddy took Miss Abby off for some shopping! So that just left me, alone! ALONE! Seriously, I get to be alone! I treasured my quiet and got a few things done around the house then I went off to do some garage saleing!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE garage sales! I love finding great things at great prices and let me tell you I did! The deal of the day was the cute Kate Spade purse I found! The purse was not marked and when I asked the gentleman who was obviously covering for someone else how much it was he shrugged his shoulder and said 2 bucks I guess! WHAT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I very quickly handed him $2 and walked away! This purse is in great shape! I am not sure he knew what he was doing nor if he was going to live to see the next day! OH well! I am happy with my purchase however!

After garage sales I took my daughter home from my parents and she helped me make chocolate pie for dessert on Sunday! We later enjoyed an evening out with the whole clan on my hubby's side! Always a fun time!

Sunday was a beautiful day! We got up headed out for church and after chuch hubby and the girls treated me to breakfast out! YUMMY! I love breakfast out! I also received a beautiful ring and bracelet from them! I am truly spoiled! We then went home and sat outside and let the girls play, and play they did for hours! We also had the moms over for dinner! We grilled up some steak and shrimp! We enjoyed raspberry pie and chocolate pie for dessert!

This was a great weekend and I am looking forward to some more lovely weather! Looks like today we will be able to go for a walk as the weather has decided to cooperate for yet another day! Happy Spring!

Thought I would try again

Well it has been some time since my last post and thought I would give this a try again!

I am not sure why I stopped, maybe I got too busy or maybe I thought my life was not that interesting!

So quick update: Miss Abby is 4.5 now and weeks away from preschool graduation! You can be assured this CEO will be in the front row with a box of Kleenex as my baby graduates!

Miss Ania Rose is now 3 and I am glad to report that with tons of help from my mom and sister she is potty trained! YIPEE!!!!!!!! So she is registered for preschool next year and mommy is her teacher...more about that later!

David is still as busy as ever working away!

This year has been very crazy for mommy! Not only have I been holding down the job of CEO but I have been working part time for 3 differnt places. I have been doing some office work for a law office couple hours a month and then teaching catechism one night a week! But the biggest change came in September when I was offered a part time job teaching again. I was so excited but there were some road blocks to work through! The job is at the school Miss Abby attends and hubby also works! How awesome would that be! So now come the road blocks...Miss Abby is only in school part time and Miss Ania Rose goes wherever I go. How does one teach that way? Well it worked out and I am ow the kindergarten specials teacher. In a nutshell that means I teach 23 kindergartners art, music, computers and gym. It sounds like a lot and it is but I am having so much fun!

I was very excited about this oppurtunity and couldn't have been happier until....

I was offered a full time job for next year teaching PRESCHOOL! I was shocked! I totally almost fell off my chair and my hubby as well! I had always dreamed of preschool and dreams do come true! Next fall I will begin teaching under our new program which offers the option of full day preschool! So my hands will not only be full with my CEO duties but also full of 3 year old fun!

I am super excited about next year and it is going to be a busy schedule! I also will be adding school for me to the schedule! Yep you heard right! I am headed back to work on my masters! I must be crazy but looking forward to it! Hubby is going to be a great deal of help and the girls are going to benefit from my working in the long run! I am already looking forward to finally being able to afford a trip to Disney!

So CEO, Teacher and student! Wow sounds like a lot!

Next year if you need to find any of us just check the school. Daddy and Mommy will be there full time and both girls too. Miss Abby is headed to all day kindergarten and Miss Ania Rose is lucky enough to be in my full day preschool class!

I cannot belive how quickly life can change! Nor can I believe how quickly my girls have grown! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was holidng them for the first time! I look back on the blog and see it was over a year ago I held my niece for the first time and none of this seems possible. If Miss C (my niece) was over a year ago that means 3 for Miss Ania and almost 5 for Miss Abby. No way! Time flies and I feel as they get older time goes a lot faster!


Well I think that is enough rambling for one post and the washer is beeping at me! Way too much laundry to do! We are coming off a romanctic getaway! I will blog about that tomorrow! Hubby did a great job with the planning of a weekend away! Till Tomorrow!
