Didn't see anyone looking for me but thought I'd check in real quick anyway =}

It's been crazy here in my house for quite some time! I quite my VERY part time job back at the beginning of March and started subbing at the kids school since Jacob still needs some socialization other than me and he would go to the sitter. Then the kids had Spring Break and then back to a few days of subbing and then into some crazy times with class projects and stuff.

Now we have been gearing up for Kaelyn's First Holy Communion this Sunday AND I'm some chalice decorations for the pews so I have been busy, busy, busy!! We'll have about 25-30 people in our house Sunday afternoon to ooh and aah over Kaelyn and eat some BBQ. It's been crazy with just this I can't imagine what it's going to be like for a Sweet 16 or her wedding!!!!!

Then Kaelyn turns 8 on May 13 but we're downplaying that some. Just family over for cake and she's inviting 3 girls from school to sleep over.

Then we've got a few things at school to attend, they get out first week of June and then we're off to Garner State Park for 10 glorious days =} I am SO ready.

Kyle and Jacob are being your typical boys too! Jacob has discovered copying his big brother...it's really cute =} We have been pacifier free for about 5-6 weeks now too. Now if I could just get rid of the diapers I'd be set =} We'll probably start potty training after Summer - hopefully it will go smoothly.

I'm off to finish the chalices, take a shower, probably have some *play* time, and sleep.

Hey Sherrie, Glad to hear your doing fine (busy, but fine..lol). I will definitely pray that God gives you patience with everything you are doing right now. I know how overwhelming it can be. I have 3 myself and all different age groups (11,8,5months). There is always something going on either with school projects, parties, choir and then of course the baby (oh forgot to mention the sahm board..lol). Good luck to ya and keep us in touch.

hi Sherri, good to see you back!

Hopefully after things settle down, you can make your way back here a little more!!!

Everything will be great for Kaelyn's First Holy Communion. I am dreading when my dd gets to that lol. Her Baptism was enough for me (party wise) lol.

Great to have you check in again!

Sherrie, wow you have been busy. I know what you mean about decorating for something special. My younger sis is getting married May 14 and oh man is it crazy, lol! We had a simple garden wedding, but she's going all out and it's wearing me down! Congrats to Kaelyn on her first communion! Try to get some rest, lol!



Elise and Olivia will both be big sisters!

Glad to hear everything is going so well!!...if a little busy. How do you like the sub job? I subed last year when I put Matt in private school. I had a lot of fun and loved it. Are you going to continue during the summer? Good to hear from you...check back as much as possible!!

I like the subbing. Kaelyn and my older son go to a Catholic school and it's so nice to know the kids that go to the school. I've subbed for the K-3 class and for one of the K-5 classes. I was called this morning to sub but I just couldn't do it with all the stuff we've got going on for this Sunday - think I may have made the Principal mad but I couldn't help it. Talked with her when I dropped off the kids as I am in charge of the school supply ordering for the school and she seemed OK with it all - turns out they had 5 teachers/aides out today! YIKES - one being the K-3 aide whom I have subbed for on 3 different occassions within the last 2 months.

I won't do it over Summer though. We're on year round scheduling and we'll be out of school the second week of June and go back the first week of August, I think.

I'd love to post a picture of Kaelyn but don't subscribe to all of that - can I email it to someone to post for me? I haven't done a website in a long time - have the space just haven't done it - but I would love for y'all to see her Communion pic. Let me know.

Thanks
Sherrie =}
