Bath time fun and my smiley little dude

It's been a while since my last post, but in my defense I have been busy trying to get my family and my little life on a schedule.. it doesn't seem to be working one day is different from the next! I am slowly realizing that there are some things that I just have to let go, like I don't have to vacuum and mop twice a day that its okay if I just do it once every other day! I am realizing that I make a lot of my own anxiety... but its so hard I feel like if my house is not clean then I am a bad wife and mom. I feel like I can never keep things clean and neat because Ashlyn is following behind me messing it up again. well I have decided that my little 5 year old is old enough to start having a chore list and instead of making myself crazy picking up after her several times a day and me making her bed and cleaning her bathroom... she is going to do it. The rule is that every morning she gets up and gets dressed makes her bed and uses the bathroom and cleans up after she uses it... then if its a school day she doesn't get the toys out until after school she may color and do arts and crafts or go outside, and at the end of everyday before our bedtime routine she cleans up her play room and her bedroom, this way while she is at school I can get the cleaning done for the week faster cause I don't have to pick her toys up as well and on the days she is home we can enjoy each other cause I am keeping up with my house work and I don't have to be aggravated by her messiness because she is helping me and I am teaching her how to clean up after herself!!

Okay enough of my spouting off at how I am a compulsive clean freak and a little obsessive compulsive about it and other things and another one of my obsessions is taking pictures of my kids taking their bath.... I love clean clean kids and the way they smell oooh its so sweet! Ashlyn loves to help with Collin and the one thing she had not helped me with was his bath so I got Collin in the bath with her and she helped wash him she was so gentle with him.
Collin is getting so big and I cannot believe that he is already 2 and 1/2 months old its so funny that at the end of 9 months we cannot wait until the baby is out we feel like being pregnant is never going to end and then once our precious little ones our here they grow up so fast and all you can do is try and love them enough and teach them what they need to know to go through this life. I love my two children and I prey that I am doing right by my children. I hope that they know that at the end of the day no matter what that they are loved and we will make it through life together.! I am so excited that I caught Collin smiling and laughing on camera, he is just starting to laugh and really get smiley at different things so its cool that I caught it on camera. You can totally see his dimples.
