I have had so many things I have wanted to blog about the past couple weeks, but I haven't been able to find the time to do it. I think I am going to try and schedule it into my day so I can be a little more consistent with everything. I want the kiddos to be able to read this when they are older and relive the memories we have, while also seeing what our life was like when they were little. We have been so busy with company, dance, doctor appointments, bow hunting season opening this weekend so I am a single mama for the next couple days, and trying to convince my 3 year old big guy that he really isn't ready to drop his nap for good.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE nap time. It is the one time of day that I can do quality things with my girl, tackle some housework, get dinner done, and even indulge in a little quiet time for myself. Trust me, you are never too old to nap. When Missy was this age she dropped her nap, but she was definitely ready. She would lay in bed for an hour, hour and a half and get up in a great mood. There was no meltdowns and she was ready for bed that evening, this is the completely opposite of what we are going through right now. If he misses his nap, he will do an hour quiet time in his room, but the rest of the afternoon, and evening is hit or miss. We have whining, meltdowns, and a toddler who is ready for bed while we are trying to eat dinner at 5. I love my big guy, and love him even more when he is his silly, upbeat self when he naps.
Like I mentioned we have been really busy with having company visit us. Last month we did a lot of traveling to see and visit family, so it is nice to be home a lot more this month, but at the same time we have had company during the week and weekend. We are so blessed to have family and friends that are able to visit us, when traveling for us is not as easy as it use to be.
Missy is done with dance until September 3. She had a lot of fun doing it during the summer, but we also learned that signing up for two fair dance recitals is a little too much for all of us. Next summer we will sign up for the County fair, and then enjoy the last few weeks of August before school starts.
Finally this weekend was opening weekend of bow season for Coach and his best friend Ryan, and his dad Rob. I was able to talk to him tonight and he was having a good time, and they were able to locate a couple of herds. He will be home tomorrow late afternoon, and will go a couple more weekends before the quick season is over. I am praying he has a successful season, and we get some meat in the freezer.
