I have been searching for a long time for something to put up in the entry way. I wanted it to be something of interest because it would the last thing my boys see when leaving the house. So the other day I was cruising through etsy and I found this little gem. I've always loved this saying. I was instantly smitten and knew it had to be mine! I know it might be cheesy, but teaching my kids that they are capable of accomplishing anything they set their minds to, no matter how hard it is, is one of my number one priorities as a parent. I think it took me close to thirty years to figure that out, so I want my kids to get a head start on it!
Speaking of hard things being accomplished......
I finally got around to paining my bedroom. I took several pictures, and none really came out close to the real color, so you'll just have to come over and see it for yourself. The hard part about this job is that I did it all by myself in one day! That's right, I moved that massive bed! It was tough, but well worth the effort.
Next on the list is Jackson. He has been working really hard at school, and just moved up to the accelerated math class. Way to go Jack! Here he is with a picture of one of his heroes, Mr. Einstein!
I'm not sure if this counts. Max didn't quite do something hard, but he sure did land hard. Close enough right? While swimming last week, Max decided it would be awesome to jump in the pool and to a twist while he was at it. This resulted in him hitting the edge of the pool with his chin. Being the ever tough boy that he is, he wanted to keep swimming so he didn't think I was privy to this information. (I was in the shallow end with Sadie) I noticed from afar that his chin looked swollen, so swam over to check it out. He had a gaping cut on his chin and was swimming like it was no big deal. Much to his dismay, I made him get out. 6 stitches later, and he is doing great, but still mad that I made him leave the pool so early.
Sadie my lady continues to endure her overbearing mom who tries to place flying saucers on her head daily.
As for John, he told me I couldn't follow him to school, work, or the gym to snap a shot of him doing all the hard things he does!

I love that saying too. My trainer on the mission used to always say it, and I loved her for pushing me to do those hard things :)
Flying Saucer! Love it. Miss you.
I love that saying--perfect thing for your entryway!! I have to come over and see your room--I can't wait! Choosing a paint color for a Master bedroom is a HARD thing--that's why I still haven't done it!
love this post! you are amazing! miss you! I WISH I could come see your room. ;)
What a great mom you are. And I applaud your efforts to make a great childhood for your children. Good work. NanaP
