Damn, it's like that...

It's a beautiful day...unseasonably warm after the completely unexpected artic blast we recently had. So, despite every thing on my to-do list, I had to take the kids outside. They played. I painted. It lead to them both taking a nap, well just a "rest" for Madeline, I can still hear her playing in her bed. And to me having a minute to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea. I'm going to add that to things that people could easily take advantage of....sitting down to enjoy a hot beverage. My morning tea is cold by the time I get to it...as is every meal, usually. I said to Anthony the other day, "I don't care if we have to pay someone to watch the kids, we will take a small trip for our 10th anniversary". Damn, it's like that, planning something 5 years from now. HAHA! I think these past couple months have just been stressful, considering that Anthony leaves before anyone is up and returns home at just about bedtime. Every.single.day. I think it wouldn't affect me as much if I weren't pregnant, but man, these kids wear me the heck out while the one on the inside is sucking away my energy. Anthony tries to give me a break on the weekend, but I can tell he is just as tired as I am. We are in rare form right now. Thank God our normalcy will return soon. The move is on Saturday, and I am counting down the days that Anthony only has a 15 minute ride home and I have my energetic partner back....because I need him...and he needs his time back with us. I think this period in our lives has proven so many things to us and maybe that's why we had to go through it. It has revealed how strong we are and how much we need each other...because we are all we have in this crazy chaos of children.haha. We love every second of our child chaos, it's just been extra hectic lately.

Alright, enough sitting and tea time. If I sit any longer, a nap will sound SO nice. Back to the list.

Oh, 2 more recipes I tried from Pinterest that were good....

Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers - Definitely good and will make again. Even Joshua liked them and that's rare!!! Oh, I left out the onions, of course.

Tuscan Tortellini Soup - Oh my YUM. Amazing. This is how I normally make tortellini soup, except I've never added milk...I think that added a certain depth that made it so much better. Make it. Serve it with a crusty loaf of bread...Mmmm. I actually ate this soup for 5 days straight..warning, it gets spicier each day.haha.

And our little Pinteresty project for the kids new bathroom...

Joseph painted the "WASH" and Madeline painted the "BRUSH". They will be so proud to see them hanging on their bathroom wall. Madeline also painted an M for her room...love her little grin.

And here's some more cute..
