Not much

Not much is happening with me and boys these days. Lots of naps, swimming at the beach or pool, minecraft, insanity, playing with the dog, house training the dog and playing with friends.

I like this picture because it shows how beautiful the water is

We've spent a few evenings at the beach watching the sunset

Went to my first black sand beach

Every year Grenada holds Regatta races. It was fun to see all the sail boats out in the water. Our landlord was out racing his boat. He came in 7th

A week or so ago there was this cool looking pirate ship in the bay by our house. The boys were obsessed with it!

 And we are missing Aaron. He has been spending his time studying for mid terms next week. Love you babe!

mommy stuff

I'm going to start this off on a positive note. At times I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job at this parenting thing. I tell my kids I love them multiple times a day. I hug and kiss them everyday. I take them to fun places even when dad can't come with and I know it will be crazy for me to do it alone all because I know they would have fun. I don't mind when they get muddy, dirty and smelly as long as they are having fun. I let them make messes. I encourage them to use their imagination.I discipline them. I make them do chores. I try to teach as we go about our day. I read them Harry Potter. Come on it doesn't get much better than that. 

So, with that said, sometimes being a mom is hard. Sometimes I make mistakes. I yell. I'm tired. I'm impatient. I get frustrated easily. I might tune my kids out a little more than I should. Some days we watch t.v. and play on electronics for most the day. I have good days and bad days.

Lately, I feel like I've had more bad days than good. Ezra, I feel sorry for you. You are my first. I have no freaking clue what I'm doing and you are the lucky one I get to learn with. Sorry:)

I love this crazy adventure called motherhood. 

Hank loves me I promise
