Ouch!

I worked out with Sarah, the new trainer at Anytime Fitness Blackfoot this morning and can I just say oh my goodness...or as Jill would say Good Hell!

My arms are on fire and so is my butt.

Who is going to hold my baby...at 30lbs I don't even think I'll be able to pick him up.

Is it okay to lay on the couch for the rest of the day?

Someone help me PLEASE!

As a side note Kate was playing in the tub just barely and she started to give her cars names. She started with Duck, then Muck, then Luck and then.....

Ya, it rhymed. It was the big one. You know which one I'm talking about. And I...

Laughed.

Why.
Is it.
So Funny?

Every time.

December Bliss

Today was just a great December day. The kids were off to School by 8:10 this morning and Sawyer was still asleep. Scott was reading his scriptures by a nice toasty fire. The Christmas tree lights were shimmering and I was wrapped in my bed sheet. (Yes, I actually ripped my sheet off my bed and wrapped up nice and snug.) Scott and I snuggled by the fire and then I was even able to get in a workout at the gym before picking Kate up at 10:30am.

I love being a stay at home mom. I had nothing on the agenda today besides laundry. The kids played outside in the snow. I watched from the window as Dylan tackled Kate completely white washing her. There were no tears. Just smiles and laughter. Kate threw snowballs at Dylan and I sat laughing to myself, spying on sibling play.

And now dinner is steaming on the stove. I have lots of presents to wrap. I didn't get any laundry done, but who cares, I can just do that tomorrow. I love being able to just be a mom, if it gets clean, it gets clean, if it doesn't it doesn't. Sometimes it is nice to just enjoy the little things.

I am a mother and today is a good day.
