Mommy Musings

Tomorrow my first baby starts kindergarten.  I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it.  Most people in the same position as me, seem to be very sad about how grown-up our little ones are.  Honestly, I am so busying during the day breaking up fights and trying to reign in all.the.sass that I barely have time to think about how quickly time is passing.  Plus, I've finally realized that in the grand scheme of life she is actually very little still.  I'll save all the crying for when she graduates high school. Some parents are having a tough time being away from their kids all day, as opposed to half-day as most preschools are.  Well, Emmy's pre-k 4 class was a full day, 5 days a week, so this really doesn't change much.  She does wear a uniform now, but that's really the only big change...well that and homework. I'm not throwing a "yay the kids are going back to school party" because I still have Charlie home with me {the school we go to did away with...

Last year a made a little video of Emmy answering some questions before her very first day of school.    So of course I had to do the same this year!  I cannot believe what a difference a year has made!      

I've started a family tradition around here in the passed few weeks....Friday Movie Night.  Every Friday, after dinner has been eaten and the dishes all put away, we all sit on the couch together and pick out a movie to watch.   Sure Skip is pretty much always working on Friday nights it seems, and Charlie will only sit still for about 20 minutes max, but it's one of my most favorite things recently. Pouty faces I love the routine of it, the simplicity.  I love watching Emmy decide between two movies to watch, and her running commentary during the film. It's such a nice way to unwind and relax at the end of the week. I hope they always want to hang out with me on a Friday night!!  And apparently Emmy agrees!! Does your family do anything similar?  Game nights?  Reading nights?  

I thought it would be fun to do a vlog about Emmy's favorite things on this the night before her very first day of school!  Enjoy!

I'm so excited to be linking up with Mandy for her Stop and Smell the Roses vlog to tell you all about what I'm thankful for this week. Make sure to look for the cutest video photo bombing from Charlie!    

Okay, so I ramble on a bit past the 2-3 min mark and I say ummm waay too much..but here it is!  My very first vlog link-up with Ashley !!

A little something fun on a Friday! Here is Little M doing the accent vlog! {well kinda}

I was totally inspired by all of you doing an accent vlog, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon myself!  I'm linking up with Jenna for this so head over and check her out!  Also, please excuse my lack of make-up and post-workout clothes.  I wanted to get this done before I chickened out!
