What is my deal?!

I made this blog so I could clear my head while keeping everyone up to date on our life. So far, I fail. In my defense, this has been an insane month.

Trinity's first day of school went off without a hitch. She loved it. I couldn't pay her to stay home anymore! Some little boy said she had chubby cheeks, then the next day proclaimed her as his girlfriend. I don't miss elementary school, that's for sure! Trinity came home from her first day with a fundraiser- go figure. A week later she came home with a book order form. I swear, the schools make KILLER money off parents! She goes on her first field trip on the 29th, to the apple orchard. I love how excited she is to learn and go to school. I hope she never loses that zest for life and learning.

Madison has adjusted well to Trinity being gone. She doesn't cry anymore. She says she misses her, but she likes it just being her, me and Mason. She likes being the "big girl" of the house...at least for those 7 hours. It is amazing how different of a person Madison is without Trinity around. Trinity is my calm one, yet Madison feeds off of it. She's definitely my crazy one! I can't wait to see what kind of person she is when she gets older....I have a feeling she'll be the one to make me gray.


Mason is getting big! On the 29th of this month he'll be 3 months old. I can't believe it. He's already teething, working on getting his two bottom teeth in. I swore it was too early, but you can see them, plain as day. He is such a smiley little guy. He's so happy, and he LOVES to talk....I have no idea where he gets that from! Every Saturday him and Scott watch football- its cute. Mason is definitely a mama's boy for the time being, but he loves his daddy very much. He lights up whenever Scott appears.

I am so truly blessed. There are days when I'm nearly pulling my hair out, trying to figure out how I'll get all the laundry folded, the dishes done, and the children bathed all while having time to do my own school work. But then I watch my baby laughing at his goofy older sisters, or Scott playing with the three kids and making them all smile, and I am reminded of how precious life really is.

Speaking of Scott....he's pretty awesome. He probably doesn't know it, but I appreciate him so much. He really is the back bone of our family. He works so hard to provide a good life for us, all while allowing me to stay home and raise our babies. He'll probably never realize what kind of amazing gift he gave me just by letting me do that. I love staying home with the kids. Even when they're on their worst behavior (which is an incredibly rare occurrence), or when they're all sick and whiny, I am grateful that I am here with them and not a sitter. They are amazing little people. They have the best of both Scott and me, so that makes them pretty incredible, if I do say so myself! One day I hope Scott will realize how much he's valued and loved around here. Until then, I'll just keep trying to show him. I really lucked out with him.

I can hear a thunderstorm rolling in- I love the fall! I can't wait to see all the trees around here change colors. Its so beautiful up here during the seasons!

I'll do better at keeping up with this! Hopefully :).
