life!

 i asked nate to write a sentence for writing and spelling yesterday. his choice, he came up with this....oya

yesterday, ellie was pointing to the cupboard and yelling something i didnt understand. so i picked her up and asked her to show me what she wants. she pointed to my cupboard beside the stove. i keep bottles and candles there....and my jar of cleaning wipes....she was saying "i clean! mom! i clean!" so i gave her a wipe and off she went. wearing her red sparkly shoes....that she LOVES.

 the best pic i could get with all 3 kids!

it has been a week. a very intensive week

i want to clear something up, its starting to anoy me. 

yes, chris is on pat leave.  but let me make it VERY clear. chris is NOT around during the day.  esp this week.  i am on my own with the kids. i am NOT getting the help that ppl think.  no, chris is working on projects for us and others

this week he spent over 50 hrs working on a web site www.henb.ca(check it out! he did a GREAT job on it)  i saw him literally for 5 mins in the morning, 10 mins at lunch, 15 max for supper and a kiss good night when i went to bed.  i have spent this week with the kids 12+ hrs each day. alone. 

i just wanted to clear that up,  its hard to hear comments about how great it is o get help....ummmm no im not getting help. im on my own thanks!

i also want to be clear.  i am NOT upset about this.  i am 100% behind chris and him helping others out, what ever job he does he can do it because i am at home with the kids, so while chris is out doing the work, its actually us because we are a team. 

this wk he focused on the web site for henb.  i am completely supportive of him taking this on and spending so many hrs working on it, not just this wk, or the past but also the time he will spend in the future.  i home school and i would love to support the home school community any way i can. 

i just got frustrated after a long week and hearing oh having chris's help must be nice. its not the case!  oya!

so thats us!  i hope to get the tree up today, and finish my christmas shopping, school and catch up on house work

ursi- we got the packages this week! thanks so much! cant wait to open them.  and yes im using all about spelling with nate. i noticed a HUGE difference after day 2!  yeah!

muetti- we are super excited for your visit!  nate is thrilled!

have a happy saturday!
