The Mama Life

Sometimes you just have one of those days...

Anthony has been testing his boundaries lately and driving me absolutely nuts.....to the point of me wanting to rip my hair out. I know he's just being the typical 3 1/2 year old figuring out what he can and can not get away with and figuring out the world, but I'm going nuts in the process. And I don't know if Molly's diapers are just fitting her wrong now or what, but she has peed through onto the couch 4 times in the past 2 days without them even being full!! My furniture smells like wee-wee!! The house is being trashed every 10 seconds. I went and got in the shower with the house being picked up and by the time I got out, all my books and magazines were torn apart and thrown all over the living room. I find much joy with picking the same things up over and over and over and over......The two have taken to screaming at each other at the top of their lungs. That's blissful music to my ears.

No one ever said the life of a stay at home Mama ever did run smooth. Maybe if I feed my babies more chocolate they'll be a little sweeter for me? Haha

With love,

Mr. Snowman

I am so proud of my little man! Anthony's made his first ever snowman back on the 22nd of December!....with the help of Papa, of course. ;) The majority of our snow is gone now, and Mr. Snowman, I'm afraid, has suffered the same fate. Every day Anthony looks out the window and goes, "Oh no! Mama! Snowman is melting!!" lol His sweetness makes my heart melt.

With love,
Mama Hauck

Happy New Year!

New years morning we downed our warm attire and headed over to spend some time with my horse! Poor boy, he's got a bad foot right now. At first we were thinking he had a stone bruise turned abscess on his front right hoof, but now we're thinking it's founder.....which sucks. If you'd like to read about founder, go here: http://ultimatehorsesite.com/info/founder.html  

We are switching his feed and in time hope to see if this helps him. I hope so!! I was really excited to spend time with Tammy and Leonard and I had a great time walking Nik around. The kids had a great time watching....little Mols got up on Nik for a minute before wanting back down, lol. Eventually Sam and Leonard took the kids in the house and Tammy and I spent a good 30 minutes brushing Nik. He's incredibly filthy from spending a lot of time laying down in his stall because of his sore foot. After only 5 minutes of brushing my arm muscles were on fire!! I went home smelling like horse for the first time in forever. It was awesome. 

Horse time is a fun way to start off the new year! 

With love,
