Skittles

It's another typical day. My 2 1/2 yr old just spilled all of the skittles from a zip lock bag into a pile of unfolded laundry. As I am watching him pick up the pieces with two very colorful, sticky hands-placing 1 out of every two or three into his drooling mouth I realized this image is quite a bit like my life. I sometimes feel as though I'm searching for the pieces, every once in a while those pieces will come together and create a beautiful rainbow. Other times I'm left with nothing but empty hands, drooling over the pieces that are being dropped, scattered, or crumbling before my eyes. One thing is for sure..I, just like my baby, am good at making sticky messes!

The Tigers!!

D with his team, he has improved so much this year!

Busy day

Hubby headed to Utah to do some fishing a few days ago...so today is going to be another rushed Saturday. Started off with a bible study with the boys and now onto the business: Soccer, soccer pictures, hockey, and then our very last pack meeting for scouts. The boys are excited. Ethan is moving on to WEBELOS - with his eyes on Eagle scout I'm really hoping he continues with that goal. Dylan is even more so excited,  this will be the start of his scouting adventure as becomes a tiger scout. I am hoping to find some time to sneak in a trip to the ice cream shop.

An old hobby

One of my fondest memories as a child was my grandma Bollig teaching me to crochet. My first blanket I did went to my gramma Lena, and gramma Bollig spent weeks helping me with it. I really haven't made too many things since. This is my latest one...being made for a special woman that touched my heart with her kindness and peaceful spirit. Her baby is due in June so I'm feeling a bi rushed!! hope it turns out!

Plumbing leak

Our closet now, we had to take carpet, wood, etc out because it was ruined. We decided to tackle this project on our own once it's dried and our schedules permit.

Saturdays

Saturdays use to be a day of sleeping in and being lazy before going out all night. Now they are filled with children playing at 5 am and the dog barking, than off to sports. We are heading out to hockey practice. Ethan is doing phenomenal at skating and I can't wait for him to be put on a team. Dylan and dad are at his soccer game, it's one of those days where tue schedule conflicts. Wonder how that is going to work with 3......
