Emmaline and Annelise

Frantic Friday
This week has continued to be great (crazy as always, but great). I think it is what you could refer to as the "calm before the storm". Today B and I went to Annelise's classroom to help with a space project they were doing. Involved paint- lots of 6 and 7 year olds with lots of paint.... And none of the colors coordinated with my outfit.... ;0) Anyway- got that done. Got all the things signed up for with the Teacher Treats we are doing next week. Trucking right along really. But in about 2 and a half hours, my sister will be bringing her 2 little girls to spend today, tonight and tomorrow with us. They are 4 and almost 2. I am going to have a house full of wild ones for the next oh, 30 hours. Brian actually looks scared. They love to be together, and they entertain each other, so it should be ok. We have just never had all of them here at the same time before! Annelise usually helps a lot with Jess, the 23 month old, and Emmaline and Reagan are only 8 months apart, so they are completely attached at the hip when they are together. I just hope I am capable of this challenge... My sweet sweet mother wants me to bring them to her house tomorrow afternoon and they are all going to spend the night there tomorrow night. Ahhh. B and I will probably need a little R and R by then. I am sure to have some entertaining tales to tell after tonight. I think the worst will be that I am so used to mine sleeping until about 9 am on the weekends, now- and Jess and Reagan are usually up around 7 or 7:30. Not to mention, Annelise has a soccer game at 9 am- so that should also prove to be interesting. I am excited because I am looking forward to spending time with my neices, and because they all love to be together- I just know I am going to be so worn out by Saturday evening! Pray for me...... At least I got some Barnes and Noble time in this week. Emmaline had a field trip there yesterday and you know I was all over volunteering for that one. I got there 45 minutes before the class and had their new special Marshmallow Mocha coffee. It was all yum and then some. So, I am not complaining. I am strong, I can handle 4 girls 6 and under in my house overnight. I think I can, I think I can....... ;o)

Thats too funny! ! 4 girls, wow !Yeah, I would need a big girl nap when that was over, R&R sounds to good right now! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate it! We are still praying and he checks the computer every few minutes to see if they are calling him back. sigh.
I was going to ask you about the volunteering, I know being a nurse your heart was in anything with meds, but if you had to choose one which one was your favorite, Hospice or the womens shelter?
Ok, this is the thing, this is such a sad thought, but there are people that don't know how to dream and I had some of those traits in me, for example, I never dreamed of Clemson because I didn't think I could do it. Sam looked at me one day and said he believed in me and that I could do it. When they accepted me, I still couldn't believe it. It was Sam who encouraged me to dream and who still encourages me not to give up, WELL, (sorry this is so long) the more I talk with women around me, I find that they get to spots in their lives and stop and if you speak with them long enough you realize their lives are stale and they want a change (for the better) and just don't know how to go about it because no one has every told them they could have a dream and it was attainable . So what does all this mean, lol, well I think Sam and I could really help others out by showing them that there is a way to accomplish something more in your life, thats why I love the thought of the women's shelter or an organization that has people who don't know how to dream in it!
But I really am torn, I love the little weeble wobbles (kids around 2 to 3 y/o) too! I'd love to be in a teaching or some kind of role too. I don't know.
Sigh! Anyhoo, its off to KY tomorrow, so I will check back in as soon as I can. I hope you have a great weekend with all your little peeps!
Oh I almost forgot, I love the facelift on the blog, its just too cute!!
