Free Time

I have the entire day and night to myself!!! Almost....I'm on-call today as back-up doula (more on that later) but my mom has Aiden and I am free to do as I please until I get called in or until 6 o'clock...whichever comes first. Untimately this means I am kid free, I have some free time, and I get a date with my hubby. It also means that I'm a bit bored. I guess I just don't know what to do with myself when I'm not multitasking. The house is strangely quiet. There are a million things I should be doing but I can't seem to get off the couch. It feels so strange without a busy, busy 3 year old talking my ear off, following me everywhere, and leaving the huge mess in his wake. I keep coming back to the same question and I just can't figure out an answer. What on earth did I do on Saturdays before I had a child? Tom asked me what I wanted to do tonight and the following list rolled through my head: Zoo, Children's Museum, Ice Cream Shop, Kiddie Pool, Movie night at home, in bed by 8. HAHA! I realized we could go to a grown-up place. Tom suggested getting drinks somewhere which I was on board with until I remembered I was pregnant. ;) I'm not quite sure where we will go tonight or what we will do. But, I KNOW I will get to linger over my meal, not have to share my dessert, sleep in in the morning, and miss my baby like crazy. I know Aiden is having so much fun that he hasn't given me a second thought.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
