5 on Friday

 
Linking up with April, Christina, Natasha and Darci this afternoon for 5 on Friday! No rules, just pick 5 things and share them!
1. Lent. I'm thinking about this season in two ways. The first by sacrifice or discipline, and to that end I am giving up my snooze button and sweets. The second way I am thinking about the season is by enriching my Spiritual life (also part of my yearly/monthly goals). To that end, I am doing the Naptime Diaries 40 days with Jesus devotional as well as a 40 day reading plan through the book of Concord with two friends from my church. I am hopeful for the growth that can happen in 40 days!


2. Avett Brothers Pandora. I've recently gotten back into the habit of listening to music while cooking and this station has been one the whole family enjoys. Variety includes Of Monsters and Men, Mumford & Sons and Fleet Foxes. 


3. Giving up the Pull-Ups. I don't think I posted about it, but we did the 3-day Potty Training boot camp with Canon back in July, 2 months before he turned 3. He easily got it during the day, but I wasn't ready to trade the diapers for sheet laundry every morning, so we went to pull-ups. We haven't talked much about it and honestly, I didn't see them ending any time soon. I don't regulate his liquid intake before bedtime and he definitely wasn't waking up dry. However, the most recent pack we bought were too tight, so this past Wednesday I gave him the choice to give up his storytime cup for no pull-up and he chose no pull-up! Now, he did not wake up dry the next morning, BUT this morning he did! I heard him at 6:10am go to the bathroom, then back into his room to lay down until his clock turned green at 6:45am. He excitedly came out and said he was dry! Hooray! This still means I need to watch what he drinks at night, but I'm so proud of him!!! 


4. Superbowl Winners! This cute picture of my little Broncos fans. Canon was born in Denver the year that Peyton started with them, so it makes sense that is where our allegiance lies. 

Making his Valentine's Day box
5. Preschool Valentine's Day. Love it SO much! All the fun of Christmas parties, but without the added pressure of amazing teacher gifts! We got some chocolates for the teachers, some Avenger Valentine's for class and I ordered Papa John's Pizza for the party. Success! 


Bonus: Canon had his "interview" for Jr-Kindergarten at Immanuel last week and it went super well! He'll be in a class with these two sweet boys who got to play a lot at our Annual Chili Cook-Off last weekend!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
