Eli and Liam are playing bandit this morning. Insert Maniacal laugh here. I guess they are letting Marley play too. Ps. just before this picture Eli told me he shot Marley with his Nerf gun and it didn't even hurt him. Liam also asked if he could pet baby sister. Yes Pet her.
Today I had to go to Hobby Lobby to grab a few things. While I was there the peak of my day happened. As we were walking in the boys noticed a flower had fallen out of it's pot and onto the ground. I told them not to worry about it and reminded them to keep up with me. As I am walking I hear Eli behind me say but mom we are missing a chance for service. I stopped told him he was right and to go put it away. When he came back I thanked him for the reminder to serve. As we were leaving we were about to step off the side walk when I saw a car. I said to Eli to stop cause a car was coming. Lilly was in the baby Bjorn and Liam was in the cart. Eli stopped but the cart moved a little down the ramp. Eli thought it was going in the street and grabbed the cart with all his might. I told Eli he saved the day just like a real super hero. For the record I was holding the cart but he didn't change his brave action.
The Pit of my day was boot camp, but not for why you would think. I actually totally love working out. I love the pain I love how you feel and I enjoy it all round. However recently I have been struggling for several reasons. First I couldn't work out while I was pregnant with Lilly so not only do I have A LOT of weight to loose, but I am way behind where I was. I get really frustrated at how week I currently am. I also get frustrated because just to make it to the gym takes a lot of work. I have to make sure Lilly is fed or has a bottle boy are dressed, babysitter set up and picked up. Then while I am working out they can get in my way Lilly could be screaming so I don't get to rest and little things like that. I just keep telling myself not to give up. Keep working on bettering myself. Plus one day my kids will be grown and I will miss this stage. So I will servive this and I WILL be happy every step of the way.
Today while I went to boot camp Liam went with his dad to the gym, Lilly with my mother, and Eli wanted to come with me. On the way there Eli and I talked. While I worked out Eli did everything with us and was really cute and funny the whole time. On the way home we talked a little more. I thought to myself it's so nice to have this one on one time with Eli. I am with him all day, but sometimes I am distracted by what I have to do, our taking care of the other children I don't get to enjoy my children individually. I never want to forget to make plans for one on one time with my children. I think this will help them know how much I love them, and it will also help me get to know each of them very well. Setting me up as their mother, but someone who is also their friend.
