May 19 - 19 Weeks, Teacher Gifts, Our House

I worked out for the first time since February today.  I did cardio kick box.  I weigh 10 pounds more than I did when I started working out in October and my little belly got in my way a bit, but I did it!  And I'm getting stronger.

After my workout, we decided to eat our breakfast outside.  So out we went.  Didn't even comb our hair and I didn't even shower.  Sunshine feels so good!


Had to take a picture of my new skirt!  19 weeks today!

We also worked on finishing up end of school teacher gifts today.  I'm happy with how they turned out!  My favorite part is the sweet note that Andlie wrote to her teacher.

Dear Miss Carter,
You have been a great teacher.  You are the best teacher in the world.  I wish I was in your class every year.  Here are the gifts I got you for the end of the year.  My Mom loves you for my teacher.  My favorite teacher in the world.  I love you for a teacher as much as my Mom.  I think you are the best reader in the world.
 Love,
Andlie

Bryan's gone.  He left yesterday and won't be back until Saturday night.  So we've been very lax around here.  Pretty much haven't cleaned a single thing since he left.  And tonight I wandered around the quiet house taking pictures.  Because some day it won't look like this and I'll be sad.

Some day there won't be a million children's books scattered behind the chair sometimes prohibiting it from reclining.
Some day there won't be a line of cut out transformers in the living room.
Some day there won't be fairy wings and Cinderella shoes lying around.
Some day there won't be a backpack thrown on the chair after school.
Some day it will take less than 3 days to get all the clean laundry put away.
Some day there won't be a little baseball mitt with "Allen" written on it lying around.
Some day I won't have to set out clean clothes for the next school day.
Some day there won't be wet shoes from jumping in puddles hanging out to dry on the table bench.
Some day the table won't be full of crayons, homework, and kids snacks.
Some day we won't need to have fruit snacks and cookies and Hi Chews in our house at all times.
Some day our bathroom counter will be clean.
Some day there won't be any kids toothbrushes or kids vitamins on the bathroom counter.
Some day we won't need to have a training potty & stools in our bathroom.
Some day there won't be roller blades and jackets and coats and socks combined in to one pile inside the door.
Some day the hallways will always be clean.
Some day Nora's room won't be littered with princess shoes, crowns, dresses, and jewelry.
Some day we won't need to buy diapers any more.
Some day our house will be tidy and dust-free and organized and.....quiet.  And it will make me wish these times had lasted longer.  And I will miss a messy house full of joy.
