New adventures in motherhood

So it has been a while since I have posted anything. I have been super busy with all the candy holiday's. However, I am super excited as my new role will be a full time stay at home mom for the next 6 months. I have decided to tackle learning and languages with my toddler and Johnny as a younger brother will be along for the ride I have decided I will be posting what I am doing on here so everyone in our family and our good friends can see what the boys and I will be up to. I am so excited to try this out but who knows I probably will crash and fail but I am not to distressed about that. Edison always make me smile “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." So lets try this and see.
            I have decided that we will start going to story time every Thursday and Saturday at our local Barnes and Noble they have a really fun story time and always have activities after that go along with the book they read that day and then a little treat for the boys. I will be looking into annual passes at the local zoo to see if it is affordable most likely we will be going several times a month if not a week to teach the boys about animals and different areas of the world.
        I will be teaching the boys ASL and Spanish as we go along since those are the languages Mark and I know. I am also thinking later I would like to teach them French and German since my mother-in-law is pretty good at French and my mother is pretty good at German but I know that is a ways away. I am just trying to plan long term. I have always wanted to go backpacking across Europe and Mark has said we can work towards that. We both think it would be great to take the boys when they are teenagers. So yeah, like I said long term planning : D
