Our Random Little Lives

First daily, weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, now it has been over two months since I have been on Aggiefamily. I'm really looking forward to the summer and things slowing down a bit. I'm trying to think of ways to make things not quite so hectic. I'm already getting up at 4:30 to work-out Monday-Friday, so that means that I try to get to bed by 9:30-10:00 in order to get enough sleep. Sawyer usually finally falls asleep around 9:00, so that doesn't give me much time with Lorne. I try to be productive during nap time, but most days I'm pretty worn out from getting up so early. Today was the first day all week that we didn't leave the house by 8:30. Something's gotta give; I feel like a hamster on a wheel most days!

I enrolled Chloe in a Ms. Linda class for five 1 1/2 hour sessions once a week, but I don't think that I'm going to have her take any more because it just makes one more morning for us to be away from home. I have to do registration for the summer on Monday, but I don't think that I will re-enroll her. I figure we'll be busy enough with traveling, birthday parties, swim lessons and me getting ready for my new moms group.

I'm starting a group at church called St. Anthony Moms (SAM), by the way! (So much for life getting less hectic!) It is going to be a ton of work, but I am so excited to start the process. I have the first meeting scheduled for September 11, so that gives me a few months to get organized. My brain is on complete overload every time I think about it. I'm doing an organizational meeting at the end of the month, and I think that will help ease some of my anxiety.

I don't have as many pictures as I would like, because my camera decided to go on the fritz last month. All of my pictures turn out with the colors all distorted. It is very frustrating, but Lorne has already saved the day and I have a new camera on the way as we speak!

Here are some of the random pictures that we've taken lately:
The kids on a morning when we were actually home.

Chloe thought she was the bee's knees when she helped her daddy mow.



Sawyer was very proud of his drawings. They are really starting to resemble people!



This is a fruit pizza that I made for MOPS. I'm totally turning into Mom because I've had this recipe for years and this was the first time I actually made it!
