When do the BonBons arrive?

Somewhere at sometime I heard that stay at home moms sat around and ate BonBons all day.  Granted I'm still working BUT I have lots more stay at home mommy time it's been two weeks and the BonBons have NOT ARRIVED!  I think 'sit at home and eat BonBons all day' is code word for run your fanny off chasing children, picking up toys, ordering the children around to do chores because I'm supposed to be teaching them something, laundry, more chasing, wipe poopy bums, locate the lost dog (a couple of times) dishes, make breakfast, lunch and dinner, which means more dishes, ya you know the list goes on and on.  I was so tired today I took a ten minute power nap at 10:30am.  I know I will adjust and honestly I couldn't be happier....although I think I need to do a better job of showing it; The other day I was fixing breakfast and and I had awoken to a txt from Indy saying that my wallet and all the make-up I own was still in the car; which he had just driven to the air-port.  Bummer serious bummer.  I slapped down some eggs and Master says, "mom you seem a little grumpy this morning...you might need to take a nap like Bubba does."  All I can say is if I'm gonna stay home and 'eat BonBons' all day, I am going to occasionally need a nap to go with them.

I changed my mind...

Vacation re-defined.

Serious business

We took a week off and headed to the cabin.  I know what you're thinking...Ahhhh sweet vacation!  Well, that would only be true if you count laying sod, painting doors, chasing after children, organizing and cleaning as a vacation.  We had friends and family join us on the weekend.  The question I've been asking myself for the past week is where is that sweet spot between teaching your kids to work and having fun.  I realize that spot is going to vary by your perspective. (being the kid or the adult).  In case you're dreaming of owning a cabin.  Start dreaming of years and years of projects.  The projects get old and tiresome and expensive, but maybe I should be grateful they are giving me an opportunity to teach my children to work.
We did need a break for a fashion show....

and a little 4-wheeling

Dance Camp

I ration dance out-fits. Princess gets one new one a year right before dance camp.  We were in the dressing room and the first two she says, "I look fat" "What?" Then she put on this very simple one and she loved it.  You could tell she felt good in her skin and I love that
