Hand Faces

During church we are always looking for ways to keep the girls busy. One day Jon started tracing their hands and then drawing funny faces in them. Hence, the "Hand Faces" were born. I have to say that they have drawn some very creative things. Since then, Madi and Tyli have been drawing them all of the time. Tyli loves to draw her very own hand faces. I find them in all sorts of random places. Here are a few of their masterpieces.

Not hand related, but cute all the same...

To Blog or Not to Blog

Sometimes I feel like my life is on fast forward, literally!! Especially lately I feel it. I look at my children and wonder how they got so big. I see old students and barely recognize them because they have become amazing young men and women. Or even old preschool students who are well into their elementary school years. I just don't understand how they have all grown so much. After all, I haven't aged a bit! ;)
I feel like I have so many things on my plate that I can only perform half of what I'd like because I can never complete something totally until I have to move onto the next thing. I just don't know how to squeeze all of the things in my day that need to be done. How do I spend quality time with my children, husband, family, friends, clean and organize my house, perform my church calling, act on all of the thoughts of kindness that come to mind, prepare for and teach preschool, exercise, plan, shop, and prepare healthy meals, make time for spiritual preparation, blog, email, facebook and most importantly play. :) No really, what is the secret? How do people do it?
I find lately that I get so totally overwhelmed by my "to do" list, that I am very unproductive. It's like so much is hanging over me that I don't even know where to begin.
So that brings me to my post title..."To Blog or not to blog". Obviously I am not very good at it. I have seriously considered doing away with blogging. One more thing not to be hanging over my head or feel guilty about. Especially where I am not very good at it in the first place. But I've concluded that I must blog. One, I really do like doing it. Writing can be very therapeutic. Second, it makes me sad to think of not recording those special moments or the funny things that my kids say and do. Yep! I will continue to blog when possible and hopefully when I blink my eyes and another ten years have passed I'll look back at what I've recorded and enjoy all of the things that occurred.
