Madison as Mom

One of the cuties girls in Green River. Tonight as I was getting the kids ready for Madison proceded to get out her pretend Lap Top and her babies, pillow and blankets. She proceded to attempt to tuck her babies in bed one at a time and then she took out her lap top and started to work on it. When I asked her what she was doing she told me "I am getting my baby on Nick jr." I asked her how her baby was going to play Nick jr and she stated "I will have to help her, I am the mommy" She was so cute. She told me that she was pretending, so she could be like mommy when she is older. I think it is cute that she has her shades on and is so poised in her pretend play. This is one of the joys of having a little girl. Their pretend play is adorable. Little boys pretend but it is with cars and rought and tough. She pointed out on the computer all the little babies that she whats to have in her belly, so that they can be her little sister.

Mom's Crazy Week!

This week has been one of those weeks that all moms have. When you have more things to do than you have time. Thus we have went a whole week with out a little blog. I love my calling in church. I am over Enrichment. We have a lot going on and it all came be this week. I am planning a Super Saturday/ Birthday Party for March Enrichment. So on Sunday all the sisters needed to have there orders into me. Well, we all have a life. With babies being born and people out of town, I had sisters coming over for the first part of the week placing there orders. Then I had to combine all their order sheets into one grand order and place the bulk of the order threw a company that is going to be a life saver. www.iasign.com is a company based in Utah and they have great crafts. They gave us a discount so 4 of our 7 crafts is coming from this companies . I had to place the order on time so that they could cut the wood and vinyl for all the projects. Plus February was the debut of all of our "mini focus groups", thus I feel like I need to be there to see them start. I have great hope that more sisters will come in the next month. I have enjoyed attending them. I have even lost some weight with the M-W-F exercise group. With the daily things that the kids do, Scouts 3 different schools, and doctors appointments, this week has been filled. So I told the kids Friday to prepare for a all day cleaning house day on Saturday. Mom desperately needs to mop the floors and fold the mountain of laundry. So with the kids help this morning, they helped me empty the kitchen into the living room so that when Madison is down for a nap and Mason has quite time I can mop. I figure then I can fold the mountain of laundry on to the kitchen table that is next to the mountain now. So while I was on the computer this morning making new sticker charts, calenders for March for church and home, the kids decided to be adorable kids and start coloring in there new cave. I love it when they can play so nicely together. It helps mom get more stuff done. So I had to share it with you all instead of cleaning. I better get going if I am going to get all done that I want to get done today.
As you can tell my there clothing, it is a free fall day as we are not planning on leaving the house. So they get to dress in what ever suits them, and mom does not do their hair. It is a day off in their books from looking good and being tortured in the hair department. With any luck this Super Saturday will go off without to many glitches . We even have a few sisters from other wards coming because they want to do the crafts. But it is not only crafts, we have mini classes and a service project going on. AHHHHH we will have to see it I can pull it all off.

Valentine's Day, Moffat Style!!

We had a great Morning. It seems as though all week long we have been sharing the love. We started on Tuesday with a few parties, then on Thursday with Daddy being home we decided to celebrate as a family. The boys were given a small item at school for fun and then in the evening we gave them a little Valentine from mom an dad. On Saturday we had a fun Breakfast with Heart shaped french toast and Hear shaped eggs. The kids thought it was great. This Valentines day we focused on Heart shapes with the meals. So for lunch/ snack it was heart shaped PB&J and then dinner we had a great Valentines Party with our friends and all got together and had Pizza and Ice Cream with lots of toppings and Whipped topping. The kids had a great time and it was a perfect end to a Love Filled Week. Her are a few snap shots from this fun filled week. We hope you all had a great Valentines too.

For the Love of Valentine's

Happy Valentine's Day to all of You
With Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday, The phase one of Valentine's Parties started today. Mason only had one day of school this week and it was today. With Mason having one class in the morning and a different class in the afternoon, he scored a load of Valentines today. On top of his two parties,
We had a Valentine's Picnic for playgroup in between his 2 classes were he was able to feel the love even more. Plus Madison was able to have fun handing out her Valentines and eating her picnic lunch with her friends.
Having lunch with our playgroup friends. Karli (Madison's "best-est"Friend as she would say) and Breken.
Mason he is not camera shy. Showing off. He loves to see his picture in the camera after mom takes it. Just to think what it was like when you did not automatically see the picture after you took it.
The wonderful Valentine's aftermath.
Just to think the is day 1 of 3. Madison has her preschool party on Wednesday and Miles and Marcus have there party on Thursday. With there being no school on Friday. I am a lucky mom that I have so many more days of this kind of "joyful mess" . To think that we the consumer actually encourage this. I guess you can only be young once. How did the store score this year with not having a Valentine's Day but more of a Valentine's Week. May you all have just as much fun with all your Valentine's Festivities.

WOW all are asleep and in there own beds.

After months of some of the kids having trouble sleeping in their own beds, Jim spent Thursday moving their room around to help them. Now we have a sleeping room with no toys. I think it worked Friday morning I got up extra early to get ready to make a to Utah for Mason to go to the Dentist. Marcus Was still sound asleep in his room. We will have to see if this can keep going on. Marcus used to be in my room every night by midnight sleeping on the floor.
Now all 3 boys are in one room and have lots of space. Marcus even stayed in his room Friday night until 5 am which is great. Now we are going to have to work with Madison, because she still thinks that mom and dads bed is her bed. We are working on it, now that she sleeps in the playroom and has her own room, we can let her cry a little more at bed time and learn that she needs to sleep in her own room.
Hopefully this is a new start. I love the picture of Marcus sleeping in his own bed all night long. Mason loves the fact that his bed is like a car in moves in and out.
May all get a little more sleep in the Moffat House.

Madison's 1st Day of Pre-school

Madison's First Day of School
After talking to many people, and Madison's Doctor we decided that it would be bentifishal to Madison to go to school a couple days a week. She goes to school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She goes to school a couple hours in the morning. Today was her first day. We will have to see what she thinks of it when we I pick her up. She was very excited this morning. I think what made it a little easier to go to school is the fact that her friend Karli started school today too. I was suprised that she let me leave so fast. I hope she has a wonderful day.
