Frye Fam Happenings

My relationship with the Lord is of utmost importance. It's high time I get my focus back there. I got behind in Bible study homework, and (just like with laundry) when I get behind, I throw my hands up and give up. What a great trait I have there, huh?! I don't totally agree with the "Your kids won't remember how clean the house was..." idea, because I can see the detriments that are evident when the house is a wreck for more than a week (and I mean, an absolute wreck where desired toys can't be found, clothes that fit are not available, etc.) BUT I do get the point. I am trying to keep my focus on organizing and cleaning here and there so things are accessible and orderly enough to enjoy being at home. We are at home a lot, and I want my boys to have good memories of that. I also want to sit on the floor and BE with my kids, and I want them to know they are more important than mopping the kitchen floor. Speaking of sitting on the floor, about once ever coupl...

1. Today, my mother-in-law kept Josiah for me at her house while Titus and Eli were at preschool. Justus and I completed every bit of his school work for the day in .2 seconds. 2. Things take an amazingly shorter amount of time without a toddler at your feet. 3. Justus reads so much better without the distraction of brothers. 4. I went to the laundry room this morning while I was minus 3...read: THREE children, and I decided to get caught up on laundry. 5. I decided today that trying to "get caught up" or to "get ahead" is pretty pointless. You will just be right back where you started in a day or two. It is a vicious cycle. Embrace it. 6. The laundry still sits. 7. I could do this once a week...hint, hint, Grammy :) 8. I love Texas weather. Today, the temp reached the mid-60s. Tomorrow, the forecast is in the 40s. We are supposed to be back up to the 60s by MLK day. JOY!! 9. Titus loves eagles. Loves them. By eagle, I mean the bird. The fascination started with THE...

It was quite the Eagles Christmas this year: Eagles jerseys, an Eagles backpack for Justus, sunglasses, winter hats, slippers, and probably more that I'm forgetting. New Lego Sorter! As much as the boys have been brainwashed into disliking the Cowboys, they very much wanted to get Uncle Jack (who DOES like the Cowboys!!) Cowboys gear...so sweet :) New toy for the little man I got spoiled, too!!! :) Pop Pop Grammy Apparently, something was hilarious! Chow time! Snowman pancakes for dinner (Day something or other of Christmas Fun!...I can't remember)

Making Christmas cookies in Tennessee with cousins! Silly Titus and Asa Opening Christmas pajamas (Christmas Fun Day 23) "Have a Mater Christmas" Si climbing on Asa Chase... ...chase ...and more chase! Checking out the new Christmas jammies Josiah jammin with Uncle Adam Siah and Derek Derek and Annie playing hide and seek with the boys Audrey and Josiah watch Annie and Titus Asa and Justus Volcano time with Uncle Adam

Just overwhelmed by all of the pictures to sort through on my camera, the fact that the blog still looks Christmas-y, the amount of time it will take to upload pics I want to save onto the blog, the fact that I have so much school planning to do, I could keep going... I am taking baby steps. The pictures are pulled up on my computer, we did a craft today, and we are eating healthy meals and snacks...it's a start! Hoping to be back soon :)

This morning, Justus had a Christmas program at church. He was a camel :) He actually starts singing towards the end of the video :) And now we're off to Christmas with Grandparents!!
