Spring Break To-Do List

Posted in Family

We are on Spring Break this week (since The Teenager is).  I have a monster to-do list.  Hopefully, I can accomplish most (if not all) of it.

  • Have each child help clean bedrooms/closet sorting through clothes/toys for consignment/yard sales        The Princess     The Wild One      The Teenager
  • Clean and organize sewing room
  • Clean and organize school room
  • Purchase fabric for curtains in The Princess's room, living room, and sitting room
  • Order wall border the The Wild One's room
  • Plant flowers around both trees in the front yard
  • Restock freezer with muffins (at least 6-8 dozen)
  • Plan the following units:  rain forest, Neil Armstrong, desert, The Cricket in Times Square
  • dentist appointments for the kids and I
  • Head to dance store for new ballet slippers
  • Go to mall for a return, buy baby gift
  • Ship notebooks to Grandma in TN and books for paper back swap
  • Scrapbook with The Princess and Wii tourney with the boys
  • Get house picked up before mother-in-law comes Thursday
  • Plan and create lapbook for "A Little Princess in the Making" for my Princess - I plan on using this as a Bible study for training her up to be a "girl of grace"

Painting (the fun way)....

Posted in Family

     We had some painting to do around the house this past weekend, and The Princess REALLY wanted to help.  Well, ya know 5yo + carpet + REAL paint= disaster.  USUALLY!  Daddy had the great idea to let her "help".  We pulled the drop cloth out of the school room, handed her a foam paint brush, and let her "have at it".  After all, as Daddy said, when else can you ever paint pictures on a wall without getting in trouble!

Family Time

Posted in Family

While in TN over the holidays, we had a nite out.  We left all the kids with my parents and headed to Chili's for dinner and a drink.  It was so nice.  We were so glad that our lovely college cousin wanted to come hang out with all the "old people"!

Brother and Brother-in-Law

New Year's Eve

Posted in Family

We spent New Year's Eve in Missouri with my inlaws.  Hubby and the brother-in-law went to hang out with some friends.  Mother-in-law and I tried to have a New Year's Eve party with the kids.  We started the night having the kids decorate party hats.  They each picked out their own hat - even The Wild One.  The Princess and the Alabama Niece were asleep by 10:30.  The Wild One made it till 11:30.  He fell asleep watching a poker tournament waiting for the ball to drop.  When the kids got up the next morning, they decorated the gingerbread men they were supposed to do on NYE.  I LOVE THESE KIDS!!!

The Wild One was so proud of his "hat".   He's such a goof ball!! 

 

The first one asleep...

The sleepy niece was #2

And, they're all gone...

The next morning the girls decorated their gingerbread cookies...

All in all, it was a pretty good evening.
