Awesome Kid of the Week! (or Century, whatever…)

November 3, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I forget how very awesome my kids are.

I just get wrapped up in the craziness of the days or weeks and I have little moments where I momentarily recognize their awesomeness in something they say or do but because we have a pretty busy household and life goes fast at age 36 and there’s soccer practice and homework and waking up on time and busy weekends and a husband who works A LOT, etc, etc…. well, it sorta slips my mind.

(hello, run on sentence, nice to see you!)

But then sometimes I get a big reminder in the form of a yard sign basically saying “Hey! Your kids is so full of aewesome!!!”  And he SO is…

I’m so proud.

I think he is too.

*This post reminds me of how I used to blog, years ago, when I first started.  You know, a little update about the kids. Although back then, I woulda just said that Ben made student of the week at his school.  I love to see how my blogging has evolved over the almost 5 years since I started.  Looking back and moving forward.  Two of my favorite things to do…
