Mike worked until 3am this morning. That's his usually time to getting home right now. So I don't mind getting up at 5:30am with Cati. I do get tired around 8pm. Tired to the point that I am counting down minutes until bedtime. But today Mike let me sleep in. My sweet but crazy husband got only about 4 hours of sleep. He took care of the kids, did the breakfast, diapers, getting dress, lessons, and played a few games with them until I woke up around 9am in a panic that I overslept! Nope- I just have a great husband.
Second, while I was sleeping Mike put these little notes around our house for me to find when I woke up. It was a nice surprise to see them.
This one was on our vanity mirror.
The next sweet something is our Sweetheart, Hailey. Today at school she earned one of these... It's called a Peace Builder. I remember during Back to School day the teacher said that she'll give these out for students that show kindness. So when I picked up Hailey from school she was so excited to show me and Mike this note along with her "I am a Peace Builder" pencil.
Hailey (took her last name out) is a loyal friend to others. She is concerned about and wants to help wherever there are needs. Thank you Hailey. ♥ Mrs. (her last name)Teacher
Also Hailey earned her 6th star.
A few weeks back Hailey came to me to ask for some sparkly rings, new shirts, and some other items. I explained that before school started we purchased several outfits for her and that's all she gets unless her clothes wear out. She was upset so I told her to let me and Mike talk about it.
So Mike and I did talk and it was a good one :-) We understand that Hailey is becoming a little lady. She's growing up and is wanting more control of her wardrobe. But we didn't want to just hand over these new items so we made a deal that for every day that her room is completely cleaned she'll earn a star. After 6 stars one of us will take her to the store so she can pick out her new item. Mike and I wanted her to understand that although we might understand her need that we didn't need too. If it's important to her-it's important to us.
So today she earned her 6th star. It would of happened earlier but she took a couple lazy days during this but that's OK. So she's showing her Star Chart completed and her new ring set. Her new goal is for a shirt that she's had her eye on from Target. Since it's a bigger priced item she'll have to do 7 stars. But we know she can do it. She's a hard worker when she's got her eye on the prize.
Last sweet something of the day....(so far)
