SNIPPETS.

A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders this week. I finally finished my course work to renew my teaching license. I actually got the bulk of it done weeks ago, but for whatever reason I was really procrastinating on one final piece. That's not like me really, and it was constantly on the back of my mind. So what finally kicked me in the bootay and made me finish it up? This:

My preordered copy of Bloom, written by my most favorite blogger, Kelle Hampton, is scheduled to be delivered today. I told myself I couldn't read it until my class was finished.

Looks like Bloom and I have a hot date for tonight. I can't wait.

Having that class off my conscience, I am able to sit back, relax, and enjoy my littles. They are quite fun little creatures.

He gets excited over little things, like planes and birds in the sky.

He isn't afraid to tackle life head first. I admire that.

She is creative and finds beauty in rainbow painted ceramic dolphins.

He looks adorable (and so grown up!) in plaid pants and a hoodie.

He is determined. Like the time when he wanted to wear sister's yellow polka-dotted flip flops so badly. He didn't give up til they were hanging loosely on his feet.

She is smart and sees things from a different perspective. She was playing with this thing of Nick's (I'm not even sure what it is), when she said "Look Mom, a q!" Do you see it? I do.

She thinks dandelions are the most beautiful flower in the world and insists I receive a fresh bouquet daily. I am proudly embracing this honor of motherhood.

I'm so glad they're mine. And that my coursework is completed. Yay!
