Lucy is turning 5 next month and it's breaking my heart!
Yes, she's my first. But still! She's mine. She's sweet, funny, annoying, and wonderful. Did I write annoying? Well of course I did. But I am having the HARDEST time thinking about sending her to all day Kindergarten. Lucy wouldn't do very well homeschooled- she wakes up every morning and asks what are we doing today? And who are we going to see!? Haha. Minot is just not a big enough city to have enough to do in Homeschool. She loves going to school, being with friends, and learning in a school environment. She also loves being at home. She loves having quiet, alone time. Clara naps and she plays all alone in her room. She does not function very well without her alone time! I know she could still have some down time after school, but I just hate the idea of her being gone all day at some place I don't really know. It's just weird. Anyway- I'm not super sentimental about many things, but I'll probably cry my eyes out when she starts school. Not because I'm going to miss her, or that she's not ready, or anything like that. Just because she's growing up and has to go to school with big fat scary things. And can't play in her room all afternoon anymore. Boo. I'm contemplating a Christian school that has half day Kindergarten, and it's really not that much more than her preschool now. Is that ridiculous? Do I just need to buck up and get over it? Probably. But it hurts my heart! Haha. Oh sweet Lucy- I sure love you. She will love school, love, love, love it.
Anyway. January has been crazy. I'm coaching gymnastics Monday nights, and just found out that if I don't work 8 hrs a week the girl's classes aren't free- so now I'm doing Tuesday nights as well. I absolutely love coaching, but not being home is hard. And really just exhausting. Our dinner schedule is so wacked now too- Church is from 3-6pm-- UGH! So we get home late and it's dark and we're all exhausted. And I'm not home until 8pm both Monday and Tuesday, and Tyler is in Dickinson Wednesday night. I'm starting to think it's not worth it, you know? I just hate how crazy our schedule is becoming and our kids are only 2 & 4. Lucy does Ballet Wednesday and Friday, then gymnastics with me on Mondays. They are starting a little Pre-team group for her age on Wednesday nights-- so if she does that then I'll cut out Ballet on wednesday. Too much. She is 4. But it seems silly not to do Gymnastics if she loves it and it's free. Oh--- and that it's FREEZING outside. It's just been a weird month. We'll figure it out!
So much on my mind lately! Love my two girls more than anything. Clara is the queen. Oh, how I love her. Girls are sleeping in the same bed- crib is gone! Yipee. Nothing better than kissing goodnight two snuggling girls! Sigh... Even with all of their craziness, I love them so.
Adult life is so weird.
Until next time....

oh man, wow yes I can't imagine my little baby being 5! So crazy being an adult and mommy. I am dying here knowing he won't be my baby soon and I can say my "kids"-just feels so old I guess! haha. It definitely hard to find a good balance between keeping busy and being too busy and not being able to just slow down and enjoy life! good luck! sounds like everything is going well though. I have been meaning to ask you-how long are you guys planning on staying out there? or is it just we will see type of thing?
