Mommy School

Ok, summer is here!! Yay!! With summer we have big plans for the kids! I am super excited to say that this morning I spent 4 hours with JOHNATHAN! Yep, only Johnathan! During the summer since Lacey is out of school also, she is coming each Friday morning and keeping two babies, so that I can take one baby for Mommy and Me time! This morning was the first morning ever that I was able to spend this much one on one time with one of the twins! It was fabulous! I have never had one baby to concentrate on, and I must say I enjoyed it so much today! I felt like Johnathan and I were able to connect, and I could meet his needs, without having to wait on brother OR sister! We went to work to visit, the bookstore, and out to lunch! His little personality is precious, and what a talker he is when his brother isnt around!
Also, we are starting Hubbard's Cupboard two year old curriculum at home! I am going to commit to a daily song, or story based on the theme of the week, and also a weekly craft or activity! I am so excited to have some direction to follow so that I can be more organized, and have greater intent on what the kids are learning. Honestly, I feel like without structure days or even weeks go by and I am so obligated by diapers, laundry and food that the learning, and amount of time I spend in the floor playing with the kids gets neglected. I do not want to miss moments filled with laugther and learning with these babies! However, I need a plan! Hubbard's Cupboard is a FREE resource, with excellent ideas and materials! I really have enjoyed looking through the material, and cant wait to share with the kids! I will keep you updated on our progress, and hold me accountable, OK?! Check out the link on the side to Hubbard's Cupboard! No pictures to share, my new camera battery is in the mail! ENJOY SUMMER WITH YOUR FAMILY! Gotta go sing....it is a zoo theme this week!

Yea for Mommy school! You should take the boys to the movie, but don't be surprised if they don't sit the entire time. This was J&J's first movie to be perfect in! It is such a cute movie. :)
