So, I joined a MOPS group. And it is awesome. It’s funny, but with the three under three
reality, I shy away from most ‘groups’ or ‘plans’. Things like story time, or field trips, are
just not practical for my family in this season. Also, in general, if I have a late retreat/workshop/presentation
on a weeknight, I am fairly intentional about NOT scheduling anything the next day- for sanity purposes. So this week, I actually considered not going to MOPS. We had pretty significant plans everyday and I facilitated a retreat on Wednesday night so I didn't get home until 10:00 pm. But I was organized/planned well and made it happen. It's completely worth it to make it happen. Loved every moment. :)

Some of you know, my dear husband has been doing 'crossfit' for the past few months. I am not a fan. I am not a fan in that it is SUPER expensive, SUPER time consuming, and kind of like this creepy little cult where they refer to themselves as a 'family' etc... so, this next part is going to come as as surprise (and don't tell my husband). Right now, they are doing something called the 'crossfit games' where a workout is announced live every Thursday night, then the 'fam' has three days to complete it with the best time/reps/etc...Anyway, it's an exciting time for these freaks. So, Aaron has roped me into watching these announcements live online. And, lemme just say (this is the part you can't tell Aaron). It's kind of exciting. They announce them and then you get to watch two athletes perform them. It's pretty amazing what they are capable of doing, and I am kind of starting to look forward to Thursday nights! RIGHT!?!? Plus, it is a work out Aaron loves, loves enough to get up some mornings at 4:30 am to hit up the gym before work. So, I suck it up and try to be supportive.
What isn't full of awesome is Aaron leaving for a workout at 4:30 am and then sending a text at
5:00 am to let me know he has hit a Michigan crater and is waiting for someone to come help him fix it (on the highway). Then, calls at 6:00 am to share the help didn't help and he has to leave his car and needs a ride home. SO...that means collecting kids and packing them in the car to go pick up their father. What a morning! You guys! This has NOT been our winter for car stuff. Between tickets, accidents, repairs and tire issues, we have been out so much cash! :( WAAAAHHHHH Notice you haven't seen a basement re-model update in awhile. Now you have your answer as to why.

I have shared her blog before, but one of my girlfriends from college has the gift of writing and does an excellent job telling the story of her family (which includes her sweet youngest baby girl who has Downs Syndrome). You know how using the r-word is a really bad thing and people need to stop using it? Yeah, well B wrote an AWESOME blog about that and other things. Kind of blew my mind. You should READ IT! Also, she lets her youngest son have a snake, and feeds it live mice. I know. Um...no words.
CUTENESS coming your way.
