life is busy, busy, busy!

chris was working on the driveway this afternoon, so i took nate for a walk at a local park. above it one paths into the park. beautiful

for some reason, nate would say "momma! cheese" and smile at me...maybe it's the sugar he's been eating, crazy boy!

another path

water, the trees are just starting to turn

nate was helping chris in with the drive way, then he spotted his tractor and away he went

over the grass, down the side walk, over the hills....as a matter of fact, he's still out side playing with the tractor!

i have been busy. i spent the week writing our wed night 7-12's curriculum. normally, i loath writing it, this time i enjoyed it! i had so much fun putting it together. the kids are going to love it. the first 6 weeks are about creation and then i break off into understanding the world god created, how to protect it etc...i put a lot focus on science and hands on experiment's for the kids to learn with. so far they are loving it. yeah! (it's very scary to write your own material, i hear the good and the bad)

then i started working on my friend's baby shower that i am hosting next week. it's going to be fun! i have done most of the work so far, i made the decorations, favors, games and all that jazz. i just have a few more details to finish.

this am i went to the ladies breaky, the food was most amazing. seriously, i stuffed my self. so good. then i spent a few hrs photocopying the wed nights 3-6's curriculum, i didn't write it (no time) but as of this wed night i am taking over the class and will be teaching it myself. chris will teach 2 wks on 2 off with the 7-12's, on his weeks off he will keep nate home and i will teach every wed night the 3-6's...wish me luck with that...talk about moving out of one's comfort zone! i am WAY out there

i can't get over how much nate has grown and changed. he adds words to his vocab daily and makes me snort with his snappy come backs to questions. he now says "yeah" for yes and "nah" for no, he grabs my hand and says "hold hand" when he wants to hold hands. the other morning i was greeted to "hey, mama. out please, t.b (t.v) please" but my fav yet is his comments to what he would like to eat...

me-' nate, what would you like for breakfast?"

nate- "meat and cheese"

me- "what would you like for lunch?"

nate- "meat and cheese"

me- "what would you like for supper?"
nate- "meat and cheese"

me-"what would you like for a snack?"
nate-"meat and cheese"

swiss much?

have a good one!
