It Is Early

I am turning over a new leaf, or stone as it may be, and am planning to wake at 5:30 at least 3 mornings per week.  And I don't mean because one of my children is waking me.  I mean intentionally setting a beeping alarm to rise me from the dead.  I know.  I am past insanity.

I realize that this all depends on the type of night my little bundle brings me, not to mention the fact that I will need to go to bed much earlier than my norm.  My goal is to at least be showered and ready for the day before the little ones stir.  Preferably, I will have a coffee in my hand as well.  Time with the One and exercise are on the top of my to do list. 

So here goes nothing (or sleep)......


Yesterday I had a little alone time with my Sam.  We enjoyed a beautiful evening outside together.   I loved just watching him chase the animals and play in the dirt.   

 I love this face.  This next one is his silly grin.  I could eat this up.....

 We need to cut the grass.  But the baby is cute. 

 He loves to chase the chickens and it is the most fun to watch. 

 We have three new kittens and I'd better show them off.  They are farm cats to live outside and hunt mice, or whatever... They are adorable and hilarious.  Sam is holding Belle - and so proud of it!  I promise, she enjoyed snuggling with him, despite what this photo may look like. 

 

Here is Ella with Charlotte - 

 And then there is Peanut driving the lawn mower.  I love how half of her face has markings -

.Here is to an early start on the day and week.  Must...keep...drinking....coffee....
