One of those days when...

Today has been one of those days when I feel like a total failure as a mother. 

Someday's it seems as if my kids literally do not listen to a word I say. Even when THEY ask me a question. I get so tired of repeating myself over and over. Today has been one of THOSE days. 

I am very grateful that I am a stay at home mom, but sometimes I feel like my job is so hard. From the moment my feet hit the floor every morning my day revolves around my kids and hubby. Make breakfast, brush teeth, wipe butts, help in Aiden's class, get groceries, clean Hudson's mess, dishes, vacuum, make dinner, ect. the list is endless somedays. 

When you mix a busy day a misbehaving kids its hard to not feel frustrated and like a failure. I have to keep reminding myself that feeling aren't facts. I need to remember to be easier on myself because, I am a good mom that is just having a bad day. And that is okay. 

Our Visit WIth Santa...

This year instead of taking to the boys to the mall to see Santa we decided to take them to see the Santa at the church Christmas party.

The day of the party Hudson was sick. I didn't want him to get everyone sick but knew that if he didn't get to see Santa he was going to have some hurt feelings so I brought him to the party just after Santa had arrived. While we were waiting in line both boys were so excited to visit with Santa.

When it was our turn to actually see Santa Hudson wanted nothing to do with him.

Santa seeing that Hudson was afraid tried to show him that there was nothing to be afraid of and that's when we got this picture....

 



Redneck Sledding...

On Christmas Eve the hubs and I needed to wrap some last minute gifts so the kids went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a couple hours to do some redneck sledding with their cousins visiting from California. They boys had so much fun and still talk about it.
