Update

Things have been pretty boring since we got back from Georgia. It took us a few days to get back in the swing of things. The day after we got home Ammon took a nap at 3 in the afternoon and didn't wake up until 6 the next morning. Cohen adjusted by taking two naps for a couple days.

I have been so frustrated lately. I guess all of you with kids probably feel this way. I work ALL day to clean the house and within thirty minutes it can look like I did nothing! I am constantly picking up after everyone! It's so irritating. I hate having a messy house. It just makes me in a bad mood. I cleaned out toys last week and put the ones I am going to give to Good Will in a box in the garage, thinking the kids wouldn't see them. Unfortunately Ammon went straight to that box when he got home from preschool yesterday and was upset because I was giving his toys away. He wouldn't even have noticed if he hadn't seen the box. Oh well. I told him that some kids don't have toys and that he never plays with them. He was still upset. Oh well.

Last week I was feeling a little down because I never have time to myself. Then I went to the Relief Society Broadcast and was rejuvenated. I love how the leaders of our church help us to understand that we are doing the greatest work on this earth by being mothers. Sometimes I get exhausted with all the demands of being a mother to three small children but I know that there is nothing else I would rather be doing. It was such a great meeting. The only down side was not being able to sit by my mom.

The kids are doing great. Ammon has finally made a few new friends at school. He is also still very into imaginary play. No matter what we are watching he wants to be a character in that program. Last night we were watching Twitches, a Disney movie and he was so frustrated because he couldn't find a character to be, because they were all girls. He also had his first primary program last Sunday. He thought he was going to be "too shy" to say his part but he did great. He didn't sing much because he was too busy waving at us. Cohen is hilarious. He is such a talker. Already singing his ABC's and counting. He is also getting out of the pack and play now. I think it's about time for bunk beds. Unfortunately Rylee is still sleeping in her carseat at night. I haven't even tried the crib. I just don't want to disrupt her sleeping through the night. She sleeps for 9 or 10 hours every night and I don't want that to change! She has also started nursing every 4 hours. It is so great because I can leave her for a while without worrying. Plus while we were in Georgia I left her a few times and she took a bottle. She has also found her voice. I don't remember the boys being as loud. She squeals any time we look at or talk to her. She is such a joy.
