Good morning, sunshine.

The kids and I have a tradition. Every morning we wake up and greet one another. Mine was "Good morning, sunshine!" Anthony has take that over now, so when he wakes up he says with a big cheesy grin, "Good morning sunshine Mamma!" It's quite cute.

Well, things have been pretty laid back around here. I've been busy with the kids and the house, and trying to squeeze in my projects here and there. Honestly, I have like 3 unfinished projects waiting for me upstairs. I really should take some time for myself and finish at least one.

It's been kind of hard to do, though. Anneliese is always crying. (What's new.) Anthony is having a hard time doing the things that he needs to. I feel like we spend half the day just trying to get him dressed and fed. He gets very stubborn, and then he just doesn't want to do anything. I'm hoping it's just a phase because the constant crying and stubbornness is getting really old, really fast.I did figure out that if I get him doing school work, he seems really happy and cooperative. So I'm thinking that perhaps we'll just start out the day with that, and go from there.

At any rate, they keep me pretty busy with "comforting" most of the day. We haven't even been to the park behind our house in over a week. It's crazy.

On Saturday we all went to my cousin's daughter's high school graduation party. It's always interesting to see lots of family all together. It was even more interesting to see some of my cousins that I have not seen since they've gotten married and have had children. You know me though....I'm always weirded out in big groups of people, so I hid behind my camera, which made me feel more comfortable. And less self conscious. ("You're sooooo SKINNY!!!!"....Yes. Yes, I am, thanks for pointing that out. And now I don't know what to say. I think I'll go stuff my face with pizza now. Bye.) And I got some really great pictures.

The baby is waking. Be back later!
