Mothers Who Know

I am still here!!

Wow! Has is really been three weeks since I last posted!? Time just goes by so fast sometimes.

Last week, was my husband was on vacation for the week. We ended up splurging a little, as I dont think we are going on a real vacation this year, and our ski trip got rained out. So we did roller skating, Chuck E Cheese's, pizza a few times, and rented some movies.

We also managed to get some painting done. We painted the stairway area, and the upstairs hallway. Then we finally hung all the kids newborn pictures going up the stairs. We bought eight frames, (in case we ever need another matching one), so we put a picture of all the kids together in the last one at the top of the stairs.

It was so nice to spend the week as a family. Vacations always make me yearn for when your whole family lived and worked together all the time. You had breakfast, lunch, and dinner all as a family. The young men would go work with their dad, and learn how to be a man by his side. The young women would help learn to run the home, and the younger ones had plenty of worthwhile activities to keep them busy. Life wasn't so frantic, so split. It was whole.
