I've Got the BEST Job!

Although times at our house are crazy and I many times feel like I can hear the circus theme music as I attempt to juggle my busy house and kids, I still can't help but feel that I've got the best job ever. I recently read something that sums up how I feel about motherhood: "Mothers agree that indeed the years do fly. It's the days that don't. The hours, minutes of a single day sometimes just stop." I don't know about you but I sure do feel this way sometimes!

Last week, Hudson's class was studying dinosaurs. It just so happened that I picked up this little dinosaur kit in Canton a couple of weeks ago so we decided to get it out and start digging!

Hudson's arm grew quite tired in a short amount of time so guess who was privileged to finish the task?

Let's just say that this project was not designed for someone like me who HATES chalk on their hands. I'm also surprised that my arm still functions considering I spent 30+ minutes sawing away into a rock with nothing more than a wooden dowel.

We had a good time though and it gave us a chance to talk about fossils and dinosaurs.

We've been so proud of Hudson lately and his desire to ride his big wheel. I've blogged about it before about how he would never ride his bike. I think being up so high just scared him. This is a perfect way for him to learn the movements of riding and eventually we can graduate to a big bike.

When Jason was putting the big wheel together, Hudson was adamant that he put all the "dials"
on one side. Silly boy!

This morning Hudson lost another tooth! That makes # 6 and he currently has 4 teeth missing.

My mornings alone with just Cooper still are precious to me. We have a ton of fun together. He's just getting so big!

This morning we built the world's tallest marble run (okay, so probably not the world's tallest but the tallest in Cooper's world)

And we worked just about every board and jigsaw puzzle we own.

So although as moms we wear many different hats- dinosaur bone excavator, bike riding cheerleader, assistant to the tooth fairy, and missing puzzle piece locator (just to name a few)...I still think it's the coolest job around!
