Hump Day

I am happy to report that the essential oils are going well-  I think?  Jack's had a great week, who knows if it's the oils but I'll take it :)  We are using vetiver and lavender.  Thanks to a friend who told me how to use them- I bought some roll on bottles and I roll it on his forehead and feet in the morning and at night.  They smell pretty bad so I'm not sure how they 'help' headaches- they gave me one!  

Here are some pictures.  Ellie is with her mommy this week so I am lacking in Ellie pictures, but yesterday we had to go to the ENT for Jack (he needs tubes in his ears) and Ellie was so good, so sweet, and so patient, that they offered her TWO suckers.  She told them very politely that she only wanted one because we had already had a sugary snack before the appointment.  I mean, come on people.  What kid says that?  She is SO great. She's pretty smart, and sweet, and patient, and well mannered.  I am so thankful that God blessed me with Ellie.  She has the kindest, purest heart and loves everyone no matter what.

Aunt V was in town for Grandma Carol's birthday party (sadly Jack couldn't go- which meant I couldn't go) We love Aunt V- I can't wait to share her creative new venture with you soon!  She is so talented!

Jack has had some rough mornings.  He used to wake up singing- this is more like his mother.  :)

I have been a "yes mom" this week.  Thanks to a friend's blog post- I am trying to be more of a "yes mom."  Jack doesn't get 'yes' too many times, so the more I can, I do!  Yes, we can take the wagon to the backyard and I will pull you around and I will not freak out when we tip over into some dirt (mud) because you are laughing hysterically and saying, "I fall mud."
