Five

December 17, 2014 By Michelle 3 Comments

When you really think about it, there is a lot of power in the number FIVE.

A lot can happen in 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 years……..

In 5 seconds, my twins can successfully undo an entire bag of Goldfish spilling them all over the carpet and then turning it into a fine orange dust. Seriously, all the need is 5 seconds.

In 5 hours, I complete an entire school day with my PreK 4 kiddos. 5 hours to prepare them for Kinder and 5 hours to tell them how much Jesus loves them. In those 5 hours we have circle time, snack, centers, recess, art, science, music, spanish, chapel, lunch, story time. It never ceases to amaze me how much we can pack into those 5 hours each day.

In 5 days, our family accomplishes a TON. During the week those 5 days entail work, school, extra curricular activities, meetings, play time, cleaning, laundry. Oh the laundry. I can’t even begin to tell you just how much laundry I do in 5 days time. It seriously never ends.

And then there’s the years…..

In 5 years you can celebrate being married. Will and I have been married for 5 years. Well, for a few more months anyways – we will ring in the 6 year anniversary in March. In 5 years we have have done more than I could have ever dreamed. Between the babies, and going back to school, moves, travels, and so much more, we have packed a lot into life.

And in 5 short years, your baby can go from this……

to this…..

Tomorrow, my Megan Kate will be FIVE YEARS OLD. I know it is so cliche to say “it feels like it was just yesterday that they were born”, but seriously, it does. I remember it well. Everything from my water breaking while talking to my coworkers in the school office, to an easy delivery, to her crazy reflux. Homegirl used to projectile vomit like it was her J-O-B! It was just yesterday, and yet here I find myself sitting at the computer and typing out the words 5 years old. I have not come to terms with the fact that she will be in Kinder next year. And that the years of having her home with me are coming to an end.

At 5 years old, Megan is one of the funniest kids I know. She is smart, cool and most of all she is so compassionate. She has such a heart for people and for animals of all kinds. She always thinks of others and never ceases to amaze me.

She is a spit fire for sure, but I am so proud to be her mama and I love my little bug.

Happy Happy Birthday Megan Kate. Mommy loves you more than she could ever say in words.

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
