Update on my schedule
Just thought I'd post since I wrote out my schedule. Things have been going well on the schedule, for the most part. Life has been really hectic the past week or so. I've been babysitting off an on for my nieces this week, so that didn't really work out then, but altogether it's been good. I think that the Fall we will have things going normally. It was really cute to see my children enjoying the different activities and having mommy be a little more interactive with them. I am a pretty interactive mom I would say, but having a schedule seems to make me feel busier with them, I guess, but it's a good busy and the time flies. The first day on the schedule Gabe and Camryn loved the arts and crafts time even though Gabe cried over not having yellow playdough and Camryn just pinched little pieces and threw them on the floor :-) I think it's so stressful to me to think about cleaning up after all of the activities (you know what I mean...when the cleaning up is so much more time consuming then the actual activity) and that's why I have put off having Camryn take part in the activity. Sorry, Camryn :-) It was also really great to have something to look forward to after the last activity we had -- even if it is to walk upstairs to get a snack. The schedule also went off course a little bit when Gabe started waking at 6 am and Camryn starting sleeping in until 8:30. They both will nap at 1 so that's great. The other thing to work on is not having bed time at 9 pm. What has happened in my house? I used to have my babies in bed by 7:30! Hopefully, it's just the summer. I'll post more but I wanted to make sure that I posted details about this so called "schedule" of mine. Ta!

Good job. It is a "good busy" as you say being interactive w/ the kidders. We all know what it means to weigh the joy of arts and crafts (and Playdough is a craft!) vs. the pain of clean up. The other day I had little girls here to make cards for soldiers. Abby said, "We are making a big mess, but these are LOVELY cards." I made the mistake of not calculating in clean-up time while they were here to help. They were having so much fun with scrap paper, punches, corner rounders, templates, ribbon, glue sticks, markers, you name it. It took me a LONG time to put it all away, but what a pleasure to share the love with them.
Beth, about music (we like a lot of the same bands) you asked for some Christian band suggestions. I love David Crowder Band and Phil Whickham and I've heard that Telecast are good.
Here are some links that I believe will be interested
I like it! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing this wonderful site with us.
