Okay - so this 5 day a week thing is off to a start! My current baby steps goal is to do one special thing with the kids each day - I'm not talking the zoo - Today we had a picnic for lunch. . . meaning - paper plates on a blanket in the family room. But they thought it was fun. We all took a nap this afternoon - I was beat from the party! Tonight while giving the girls a bath - I asked if they thought our baby was a boy or a girl. Emily voted boy. Madeline voted girl. We go for our first ultrasound and dr. visit on Friday, which should be a relief!
Little Miss Madeline!
It was snowing reallly pretty in the picture - but you can't really tell.
Here is the gift she gave me tonight for my b'day - I LOVE it. It is from a cool boutique in Houston. . . A sweet little box with this cool key chain inside! Love it! Thanks, Natalie!
I wanted to update you on what I got at Old Navy (pretend you care!) I got it all out tonight and counted it up:
All for the girls
26 shirts
1 pair of cutie boxers to sleep in
3 pair of winter jammies
4 pair of pants
1 winter coat
a scarf, gloves, hat
2 dresses
spent $130

Gotta love the additonal % off afte christmas! I hit a few stores a week or two back and it feels great to get a deal- it gets the adrenaline going!!
hey, you gotta call me when this sale hits every year! you are my link to the bargain knowledge...
and also, good for you with the special plans. today my kids watched while i folded mounds of laundry and loaded the dishwasher. it was very special for all of us.
Cori... you crack me up!
Ellen... glad you got to get out with a friend and what a pretty key chain. Sounds like you're figuring out how to handle Brian's new schedule. It will seem "normal" in no time.
Lovin' the sales!! Thanks for the heads up...I headed there today and got my own pile of loot. :)
I might try to go over to ON tomorrow. I have two gift cards from Christmas. Hopefully they will still have stuff.
It is Wed now...I hope you are doing okay. I guess tomorrow will be the real test since it will be day #4 (and one day past your usual long stretch). I agree that after a few weeks, I think you will settle in. Again...you are a wonderful mom and you can do it!! Plus, you can call any of us if you need some sanity. :)
Cori...also laughing so hard at your comment. Seriously, I am impressed that your kids will watch you fold laundry...mine love to toss the freshly folded items into their own piles. Lovely!
