Nope, I didn't die. But some days I wanted to. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with everything that you want to get done? I mean, there are things that NEED to be done (feed the kids), and there are things that will drive you crazy if they don't get done, but don't NEED to be done (dishes, clean house). Well, eventually the dishes NEED to be done or you won't have any.
So, I am just now feeling like we are through the holidays and I can get back into my routine. (Did I have one before the holidays?) I do have a clean house now and dishes are done, laundry going etc. I expect it to stay clean for a couple more minutes so I can blog. I have a headache; getting a cold. But I have to change my blog! Speaking of priorities.
So here's what has been happening at my house:
*Paige lost her first tooth. We told her she was a shark because a tooth grew in behind her baby teeth because it hadn't fallen out. The night she lost it, the tooth moved into it's rightful place. I was shocked it moved so fast.
*I finally made my chore chart! I know what you're thinking. Why is Avrie on there? Well, she will have chores eventually. And there is no way I will be making a new chore chart when that time comes. It took me long enough to make this one. I bought the metal board at IKEA ($12), used my Cricut to cut out their names on vinal, used those magnets that come on phone books (advertising things). I covered the magnets with scrapbook paper and ordered the chores from my friend Emily. She has a vinal web site: http://www.eaddesigns.com/
You can order anything you want in any color and size you want or she has tons of things already designed for you. She flattered me and asked me to design some things for her. I haven't done anything yet, but I am dying to get going.
*Oh...we did have a GREAT Christmas. I really cut back this year and didn't spend much on the kids, but they were all happy. I got a new wedding ring (technically for my anniversary). My old one broke and at Zales you can upgrade and trade in your old one, just like a car! Only diamonds don't loose value. I only have a picture on my phone right now. That will be another post.
*I am in the process of organizing my scrapbook supplies. I have a book (yes, a book) that is all about organizing scrapbook supplies. So I have been getting rid of things I don't use and organizing the things I do, or will use. I will take pictures of my stuff when I'm done.
*We are almost ready to start building our house. We have been busy getting things organized to get started. We will be getting the financing started next week (Thanks Jeff!) and our plans are getting altered to our liking right now. So hopefully we can start digging in a few weeks. I can hardly stand it, I'm so excited!
So I can't think of anything else right now. Good thing too, this is way to long! So until next time!
