I know it’s been a while since I’ve had just an update. If school wasn’t busy as is, I started an English class that’s only 8 weeks. That pretty much means 4 papers in an 8 week period. Anyway…even though I haven’t been updating all the time, we are still busy busy around here. Going to school full time and being a stay at home parent means you never stop.

Recently Landon asked for a hair cut. He hasn’t had a haircut in probably over a year because that was the last time he said he wanted one.

As you can see, it had gotten kind of long and was starting to get a little tangled when it wasn’t brushed at least once a day. But he decided it was time for a trim.

You would think by that face, it was forced but it wasn’t. I feel like he looks so much older now. I can’t believe how big he’s getting already. My little baby is going to be five years old in about a month and a half.

Do you let your kids pick when they want their hair cut?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was developed by the Great Explorations Children’s Museum.

I can’t wait to take the kids to this. They really love the Kolh Children’s Museum so I can only imagine they will adore this new and fun exhibit. They loved the movie and I’m sure they’ll have so much fun with mom and dad seeing a life size version of the book!

1:Sky Diving

I have always wanted to skydive. I don’t really remember a time when I didn’t. It always looked fun and scary as hell all at once. It’s a tad funny now because once I had kids, I became instantly afraid of dying. But even with that, It’s something I plan on doing one day. Once I’m done having babies and they are older, I will be jumping out of a plane with a parachute.

2:Travel

I think a lot of people wish this. They wish they had seen more or done more. My thing is that I won’t be able to see a lot of Europe until the kids are either older or out of the house. I would love to see Rome, Paris, London and maybe go to Ireland. But the expense for use and two-three kids is a lot. I just wish I could have seen it all before.

Another “dare devil” activity I think would be a blast!

4:Moved

Growing up, we moved, a lot. It was Illinois, Arizona, Illinois, Oregon, Illinois. We always came back here but besides my sister, I don’t care to live in this area. I love Chicago but being on the west coast, we were able to see a lot. We traveled to San Diego and San Francisco. We saw they awesome Red Wood Forest in Northern Cali. I’ve been all over Oregon and Washington.

I loved/love Washington. I’m a big city girl at heart. I love all that city’s have to offer. Tons of people, fantastic food and there is always something to do. This is why it was a huge deal for me to go to New York City. I crave city life. I married a man who loves Illinois. His family is here. He loves it completely. Chances of us moving are slim to none until I’m at least 30. I wish I had moved more before I had the monsters.

5:Gone to College

This one is pretty easy. It would be nice to already have a degree. It would be great if I was already Allie Ferriera RN. It’ll happen I know but it will probably be a much more daunting task because I have to worry about my kids, homework, writing papers and clinicals. Again I know it can be done but it would be an easier task if I had done it before kids!

Do you wish you had done thinks before having your kids?

I realize that one or any of these could mean that I didn’t have my kids. If it was either do all this or have my kids and husband, then there is NO question in which I would pick.
