I am having such a hard time being motivated to get things done lately. I am not sure what my deal is. I just keep sitting here... despite the fact that my table is piled high with laundry that needs to be put away.
I took the kiddos on a quick grocery store run today. Max was totally THAT kid that whines about not being able to get things the whole time. Oh my goodness. I was so frustrated. I don't know what had gotten into him! I know people say to just leave your cart and walk out of the store and I say "bravo" to them! But, I have three kids and we needed groceries!
Nick is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow and I am feeling so much anxiety about it. I had a rough recovery after mine so I think I am just anticipating that for him. But, I know it will be so good for him to get them out. They are starting to move his other teeth around which is not good. I am also selfishly not looking forward to not having his help this weekend. Thankfully my mom is taking the big kids for the day on Saturday which will be a HUGE help!
I rearranged my living room again. I know... I rearrange furniture more often than some people change their underwear, but it makes me happy! Except, right now I am not sold on my new arrangement. We will have to see.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Sunday Letters... late again!
Sorry! I have been so sick the past few days... like, not get out of bed sick! UGH! But, I am feeling better and wanted to get my Sunday letters in even if they are a day late! Make sure to check out Deidre's blog to see her Sunday letters and link ups! And my friend Jessica has started doing Sunday Letters too! I love Jessica. I tell her that her family is the North Dakota version of ours because our kiddos are the same age difference and gender order and seem to have very similar personalities!! Ha!
Dear Max,
You have been cracking us up lately. Your imagination is so WILD! You are something different every few minutes! My favorite was when you were being Gaston last night (from Beauty and the Beast) and you had on a cape, t-shirt, and a sword... tucked in the side of your underpants! Ha! It was just too cute! Your Daddy told me you were SO excited to go to school today because it was FINALLY your turn for Show and Tell! You took your stuffed dog named Buster. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get home!
Dear Sophie,
Your Daddy and I joke a lot about how old you act for your age. But, this week you have made sure that we remember that you are only 2! Lots of tantrums when you don't get your way! You and your brother have been fighting a lot and while I usually stick up for you I am starting to notice that you are becoming the instigator more and more often so those days might be coming to an end! Ha! You said the cutest thing at church on Sunday. When we were sitting in the atrium before church and an older man with a cowboy type hat with a feather in it and you said, "It is Captain Pirate!" Then you looked at your Daddy and said, "I didn't know Captain Pirate went to our church!" You are precious!
Dear Jack,
Well, you are still perfect. Please don't grow up! Ha! You are sitting up for very long periods of time now and you look so cute. You like to sit in your high chair and eat snacks. You are still sleeping through the night although the past few days you have been waking up a little too early for my tastes! I can't believe you will be 7 months old this week!
Dear Nick,
Thank you for being awesome this week. Thank you for encouraging me to grab coffee with the girls on Friday night! It means so much to me to be able to go out without feeling guilty! And then THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking care of the kids while I have been sick and staying home today to take care of them... and me! I love you! I will make sure to take extra good care of you this weekend after you get your wisdom teeth taken out on Friday!! :-(

eating big people food
Yes, this is my little BABY eating big people food! Cue tears. My friend Heather reminded me that Jack is old enough to start eating real food. My first thought was, you are kidding me! He is a newborn! But then I remembered he is almost 7 months old. Why when I was 9 years old waiting for Christmas did the month of December feel like it lasted an eternity and now that I am a mom the past 4 1/2 years have flown by at almost lightning speed!?
My little girl
I was never one of those women that "had to have" a daughter. Honestly, I thought I would have three boys. But, oh my goodness am I so glad that God knew better and gave me a little girl! I still wouldn't consider myself a great "girl" mom. I don't really love to do crafts and do doll's hair. I would much rather play with trains, make dinosaurs knock down blocks, and have improptu rounds of "dodge the pillow" during the day! But, I don't mind playing super girly things if it is for this sweet girl! She is so much fun and is just a perfect piece of our family. Plus, even though we are still outnumbered by boys in our family of R's, I am glad I have at least one partner in crime!
And I look forward to the days of shopping together and girl's weekends and talking about boys (when she is 30 of course)! I am just so thankful for this precious little girl! I have no doubt that God has increadible things in store for our little princess! We love you Sophie!

He cracks me up...
Last night we told Max it was time for bed and he told us, "No! I don't need to go to bed! I am nocturnal!" 4 year olds are weird... Here is more proof...

Happy Monday
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was too short! The kiddos don't have Mom's Day Out because of President's Day (but the hubs is working, boo!) so we are hanging at home in our p.j.'s on this rainy morning waiting for the dryer repairman to come at some point!
I love the Menu Plan Monday Posts over at I'm an Organizing Junkie so I am linking up there today with our menu for the week.
