This and This are on the way to our house....
Toenails... I do still have all of mine (sorry Ang about the loss) and they are pretty! Got a pedicure! And they even have sparkles which you can't really see
Flower petals didn't get a picture.... since they were in my bubble bath.... but they were fresh from our garden.... my green thumb husband has some great things going on in our backyard.... I think it is his small way of making August in Texas seem not so bad when we can walk out on our soft green grass and not the scratchy stuff most every one else has.
Ribbon Rolling..... where oh where shall I start?
Since Bart was cooking.... he also did all of the grocery shopping since him doing the cooking isn't really out of the normal for us :) He did great... we had real yummy dinners with new foods the kids discovered they actually liked.... who knew my picky eaters would love Halibut. Last night for mother's day it was extra special though.... NY Strip steak... King Crab legs baked potatoes and asparagus! The kids loved the crab.... whoooo hooo.... I have fish eaters!
laundry, laundry, laundry so while I was still allowed to put it in the machine... {long story as to why Bart isn't allowed to do the laundry} the biggest surprise with this and joy was in the picture below....
Now don't be fooled... it doesn't look like much or even anything right.... but this is Jorden's Mount Everest. That girl has to have everything in order and lined up.... don't believe me go grocery shopping with her and you will run from the store screaming.... but when it comes to her room it is the total and complete opposite! So one morning in an effort to comply with mom appreciation week... and a little star chart bribe from dad.... she got up without me have to ask 47 thousand times.... got dressed and hold your hats folks... she brought her pj's down to the laundry room!!!!! That is HUGE for her!!!! and boy did I appreciate it :)
notes.... all week I found little notes here and there from the three other people in the house... this one from the littlest of the bunch was slipped on my pillow....
cleaning supplies was kind of a trick one.... it is on the list because I get to use them a little bit less.... we hired a housekeeper finally! She comes every other week {the kids still need to learn how to clean a little bit :) } and in my opinion is heaven sent.
9:30 pm see the rules list.... and yes as hard as it is to believe.... it happened
Employees ...in an effort to ease my stress a little {or a lot if you talk to me come October} Bart started the hunt for an employee or two :)
Other highlights of the week....
Now while this may look like your normal copier/scanner/fax all rolled into one it is a huge solution to a major paper clutter problem we have at our house. We have a paper copy of every order placed on our site and that is just about to click over to 10000. So now I just need to find the time to scan them all onto 3 or 4 nice small cd's that don't require so much of our precious attic storage space to keep.
I got into The St. George Marathon.... seems like it was about 50/50 over at Marathon Mommy so I feel pretty lucky to get in on the first try :) Got to see Made of Honor.... go see it ~ it is very very funny! Had lunch with both kids at school one day. Had heart shaped waffles and bacon for breakfast in bed with Jorden Sunday morning. Got a great new album on iTunes by Augustana (their new one) and love every song on ... which doesn't normaly happen. I know there was more that I am forgetting right now but I think you probably get the idea. It was a really great week thanks to the three great and amazing people that live under this roof with me :)
