Just some good ol' day in the life type stuff...
1.
If I had to pick one food to live on/take with me to that famous deserted island everyone always references, it would be Greek Food. I LOVE Greek food "soooo much" as D would say. So when I found out Charleston has a Greek Fest both in the Fall AND last weekend, you know we hit that up!

We tried to get there in time to take a tour of the church because the Greek Orthodox sure do know how to do a church, but they got all tricky and change the times on us so no dice there. A little baklava sundae and all was forgiven.

Parenting has been going great recently.
Ha!
As seen here when Clare apparently found the recycling bag and decided a beer can was THE MOST FUN TOY EVER. (And no, my kids do not wear clothes.)
3.
Damian has been ever more helpful around the house, minus all those times he's not. We recently started our eBay business back up so the boxes are appearing once more. We're going to have to break this FedEx man in because he hasn't learned the ropes quite like our ATL guy.
Damian told me he would move all the boxes into the house for me since they were delivered behind my car and not to our doorstep.

Before I spill more secrets of my survival mode parenting, let's stop for a moment to look at these pretties.
I never thought of myself as a "garden person" before, but now that we have a house, I can't stop. Between all the veggies and the 48235879 potted plants I keep getting... It's becoming a sickness.
5.
So back to parenting wins... Lesson learned--when two kids are mobile they team up and you will never win.
Damian started this little cabinet emptying project and Clare came in as relief pitcher to finish the game. All day, every day.

I'm realizing that I have approximately 3984345 versions of this picture on my phone. I hope that as he gets older, he will still go on the occasional coffee date with his mom.

Speaking of getting older, I started filling out his application for preschool the other night.
After looking over tuition costs, I immediately began researching home schooling. When did he grow up?! Why is catholic school so expensive?! all the whines, all the whines.
Linking up with Jen!
ALLTHEWHINES!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got a potted rose for mother's day and flowers are SO not my thing. Pray I don't kill it!
prayers indeed! And yes... ALLTHEWHINES! ;-)
DeleteGREEK FOOD . . . yum. Ditto with the parenting.
ReplyDeleteI know! So good!
DeleteOk... two comments in my first hour exploring your blog seems overkill (I'm friends w Theresa Breslin and Sarah Pankus and they both rave abt you! :) )... but I have to say: YES YES YES to your last take here... Why is it so expensive?! How are we honestly supposed to practice Catholic openness to life and babies with tuition that STARTS at $5000 a year (for a FIVE YEAR OLD) and gets all the way up to $8000?!
ReplyDeleteI was homeschooled and hate the idea of homeschooling - it can feel super boring, I hate being at home all day, I am an impatient teacher at best - but man. I can't in good conscience just send my baby to the [awful] public school we are zoned for. And I want to keep having babies! At least 5! what to do!!
Sorry for all the caps and exclamation points. Just have been freaking out about all this myself... Its good to see I'm not alone. And I am eager to see where God takes you!
