Little Miss Getting It Done Today

Can I just say it's so nice not having soccer, football or volleyball to fit it on the weekend?! No games this last Saturday was pure heaven. Unfortunately, it won't last long. Hunter starts basketball on Wednesday. But I DID enjoy the one week that I had. And to tell you the truth, we can't practice on Wednesday (boy scouts is that night) and if we can't switch to another team...I think I'm pulling the plug on the whole season. Hopefully, they will refund our money. We'll see.

I'm home this morning. The weather is nice, it might get a little warm later, but right now the windows are open and there is a nice breeze. I have done some cleaning up/picking up/ Fly Lady stuff around here. I have a "few" kids that are little mess makers. You have the obvious one, Hope, who is like a little tornado wherever she goes. Then there is Hannah, Little Miss Arts and Crafts. Everywhere she goes there is a game (made up with all the pieces!), a poster, a "school" (play school with Hayden and neighborhood kids) project around. Hunter...who likes to leave hats and socks all over the place. And Hayden...I find Tinker Toys and Lego's everywhere! Oh joy. Pretty soon everybody will be all grown up and I won't have any of that...and I will wish I did.

I'm off now to plan the rest of the Brownie activity my friend Lori and I are in charge of today after school. (We don't have ONE leader, so we all take turns doing the meetings) Lori and I are working on the Eat Right, Stay Healthy try it today. Now come on, were you surprised?

Your topic fits you! Of course. I am pulling a Heather today and eating vegetables. So far, spinach and tomatoes. But there are more to come!

I think I will miss kids around, but I don't think I will ever miss the mess. Kind of like I will never EVER want to be pregnant again. But I do ache for a newborn every now and then...Good job on getting stuff done!

ha. what a shocker heather:)

I can't imagine missing the messes, but you're probably right. They'll be gone before we know it:(

i love you're perspective - you're so wise! i'll try to remind myself of that as i clean up after my little mess-makers!

I think Hannah and Brinley could hang on the whole Arts and Crafts surprises around the house. We are always finding those...and toys in our toilet from Braden! Send your clean house vibes my way...I'm not doing so hot in that deparetment today :)

I need to come to your brownie health day. After taking that dr. oz quiz I feel like I am going to keel over. You're right about the messes, I get so uptight when I should just mello out.

You know, you do miss the messes (dumb, but true!) -- but then you will have someone like Mason around to remind you that it's not worth missing! He's a dynamo -- but we love him!!
