The joy of a fresh start

I have decided to change my blog up a bit. There was a day that I shared pictures and stories more for my viewers (which are few) instead of for myself and my little family to reminisce in years to come. So to start a new year off with a Fresh start this blog has officially become my electronic Journal. Everyone is still welcome to few as they please but daily I will be journaling all that goes on in my little "Punkin Patch" I hope that I can keep up with my goal and not add it to another New Years Resolution dissapointment list. Well here goes.

January 11th 2010

Today I woke up as usual with a whole list of to do's in my head and failed miserably at about 85% of them. Easy to do when your chasing around three little boys.

Triston and I started off the morning by washing up some beautiful eggs that Grandma Burgess gave us out of her little collection she was accumulating on her kitchen counter. Then after being saranated by Oliver and Triston on our BEAUTIFUL new piano we purchased off of Craigs List we packed up and headed out to Aunt Jessica's house for some refuge while some workers finished the last minute touch ups on our hand railing. All in all we had a good time minus the fighting and the constant flow of questions coming from our growing boys about snacks. Jess and I hibernated in her room while watching "Dr. Quinn the Medicine Women" and with that we enjoyed a little bit of eye candy by gushing over Sully the most attractive white skinned Indian I have ever seen.

After I reached reality we began to pick up our messes and head out the door to run a few erands before the day came to an end. On our way into town we came across a car accident which consisted of Andrew's Sister and a few of her children. Her oldest Daughter was driving there trooper trying to get some practice in before the big day when she get's to get her licence. She over corrected the trooper and rolled the vehicle. Luckily everyone was okay, What a blessing!

After our errands we went home and had a very kid friendly dinner, Ham and tomato grilled cheese sandwiches and Raman noodles after which we cleaned up and sent the boys upstairs to watch balloons AKA "UP". I finished up the dishes, got baby August to bed and then rested on the couch while Andrew saranated me with the piano. Soon after, kids were sung to bed with lots of hugs and kisses and then it was a nice hot shower for me, just what the doctor ordered. Regardless if I was not able to accomplish all my tasks for the day I was still able to enjoy another day with kids as young precious innocent children which in a blink of an eye will be gone with out me even knowing it. I am learning not to take those precious moments for granite. Why would you when you know you only get to enjoy them once in a life time.
