First time Blogger......

Where to start...well I guess I should check that spell check is available and working!

I am welcoming myself to the world of blogging! Now, I don't pretend to have vast amounts of knowledge to share, and since I spend my day with children, my vocabulary leaves a little to be desired, so this MAY be a short blog. But then again, since I have difficulty shutting up most of the time, it could also drag on, and on, and , well, on.

I should also warn you before hand, I am french. Now to some, this may mean nothing. But according to my husband, it means I write backwards in English! lol I have to admit, when proof reading things, I do see how I tend to write things a little backwards. While you are reading, if things tend to be a little jumbled, or would make more sense to be read backwards, I apologize in advance!

I still have not decided, where this blog will go. Maybe I will spew information about my daily goings on, which MIGHT sounds boring, but believe me can be quite entertaining. Or, perhaps, I could just ramble on as I tend to do, and hope it makes enough sense.

Since this is my first time, (blogging that is...get your minds out of the gutter...) I will try to keep it somewhat simple. We am enjoying a week with all the kids home! Owen, my stepson, is here for the week leading up to Christmas, and my husband, myself and our three other boys are THRILLED to have him here. Today we decorated gingerbread cookies, and I baked zucchini cookies. Now that sounds really nasty, and I was not sure how they would turn out. BUT it seems, they are really good! Thanks goodness Christmas is so close, because they are for family, and if I had made them ahead of time and planned to freeze them, well there would be none left at this point! Tomorrow, will involve more baking and perhaps a Christmas craft as well!

I am working for the next 2 days. I run a small homedaycare, so I can be home with my little ones. My husband is going for his last day of school tomorrow until January 4th! So this is the countdown to our time off.....2 days.... then a week and half, just me and my family!

Since it is getting late already, i think I will sign off for the night. But before I go, I want to share a nice thought Nathaniel, our 5 year old shared with me the other night. After nighttime stories, cuddles and prayers, he said to me;
" mom, I think Santa can talk to God"

When I asked why he thought that, he said;

"because they are both really high up in the sky! And on Christmas , Santa goes high up in the air and talks to God"

He had a big smile on his face, and it really made me melt. I think being a mom, is the best, most amazing and challenging and rewarding job in the world! I take it on with pride! We have 4 healthy happy amazinbg boys, and I would not trade them for the workld! Now, when it comes to husbands...lol...no I would not trade him either! Maybe just trade in the PS3 for a while......:P

Night all! :) Sleep well, sweet dreams, and God Bless!
