1) I once again am able to count the children in my house on only one hand. It is refreshing. But also kinda boring.
2) As long as I train my kiddos properly now, I must say that having teenagers is going to be
awesome! They are capable of so much! ;)
3) On that note, my oldest completed kindergarten almost two weeks ago. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! He is just getting so big. All three of them are growing too fast.
*sniffle*
4) There is a lot of work to be done around here now that it is "summer". A lot of outside stuff. And a lot of inside stuff. I am so enjoying/looking forward to enjoying the long, warm, sunny days of summer. I really do hope they show up sometime...then maybe some of this stuff will get done.
5) I have quite a few pictures for my photo-a-day from the month of May. Trouble is, I can't remember all of the exact dates for them. However, I do plan on getting them up on the blog this week. Then maybe I really will keep better track for the second half of the year.
6) Is anyone else spooked out that we are already half way back to the Christmas season? I can't believe how much faster each year seems to go. I always start getting on a Christmas kick around August. Maybe I'll actually do something about it this year.
7) I am loving Bible study on Tuesday mornings. I think that I really have been needing something like this for a while. I think it will help keep me accountable to praying and being in the Word. It hits the spot.
8) I have a dentist appointment in the morning. Fillings. Blah. I am sure I'll feel better in the long run but it always seems like such a waste of time. I sit there thinking about all the other stuff I could have been doing instead. Like eating. And rotting my teeth out some more. =}
9) It's time for me to plan a birthday party for Avril. I really want to do a Mad Hatter Tea Party but I think I should wait until next year when she will enjoy it more. I guess this year will probably be pretty generic. I always try to do a fun cake for the kids' birthdays but I just don't have any good ideas for her this year. Any one else seen something cute and girly? I was considering A Wizard of Oz type theme that I saw online but I just don't know. Maybe she'll get a sheet cake.
10) Now that my niece and nephews have gone home, it's potty-training week. I am hoping that girls really are easier than boys. Judging by the way she reacted to sitting on the potty the other night, I don't think I am going to be so lucky. The boys were both trained shortly after their 3rd birthday. I was really rooting for Avril to be trained long before she turns three. But we shall see. I am considering the cold turkey method. Where you just stop putting diapers on them and let the --um--
chips--fall where they may.(is that even the right saying?) But that's all I'm doing so far, just considering.
I do that a lot. And I say maybe a lot too. It's the authentic procrastinators way.
