To Do List

My list keeps growing... I decided today was the day to tackle as much as I could. 

My List:

Mow the front lawn
Pull weeds
Rack the bark
Clean the van
Clean the garage
Clean the BBQ for Spring
Sweep the drive way
Take the 3T out and get 4T in
Make dinner and clean the kitchen

These are the things that I accomplished today... not to mention that I woke up at 5:45am and ran 1.49 miles.  :)  I was more than tired after dinner.  So, I took a bath and soaked for a LONG time, and Josh took care of the girls.

My picture... all the clothes from just Charlie's side of the closet that I had to move around!

Braids

Tonight after the girls bath I braided their hair while they watched America's Funniest Video.  My kids LOVE this show, and they like that they have a bath on this night, and that we do their hair while they watch... usually we do curlers, but I was in the mood to braid.  I have to say that my hands hurt when I finished.  That's a lot of hair. Morgan wasn't happy to have to look at me, and not the TV.

Neighbors

Josh and I are trying to meet ALL of our neighbors and be more neighborly.  We've been going door to door meeting them, also letting them know our neighborhood has a facebook page.  We have so many neighbors who LOVE this and we've met so many people.  The kids have found a lot of school friends that actually live near us as well. 

Our next door neighbor came down with Shingles this last week.  So, I made up a gift for her.  We've chatted before and I knew that she really liked air popcorn.  So, I bought her some, with flavorings, a candle, and some chocolate.  To me these are "get well" things. 

Best Run

Today was my best run.  My farthest distance.  Although I did run my mile at my fastest yesterday at 10:09, I came close to that today as well.  This was also my second day in a row that I did my run without stopping to do any walking.  I have to push myself a LOT mentally to do it, but I did, twice now.  I also was very excited to see that my total miles for the last 12 runs is now over 15 miles, close to 16.  And that isn't including what I was running before I started using this ap. 

I have to say, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself.

No picture

Sad I know.  My first day I forgot to take a picture.  My plan was to take it of Charlie at gymnastics, because she got bumped up to a higher level.  She also went from 45 min. to an hour.  So, instead here is a preview of what I'm working on for my Valentine's Day cards.

Decorating

So without spending ANY money, I have made our bathroom more fun to be in.  More romantic over our tub.  So, I moved some of my clocks around, and got this one to work in our bathroom, plus I like knowing what time it is, and how long I have to linger in the shower.  Then I rounded up a few things from our house that were in odd spots and put on a shelf, that was in the family room, but not really getting used.  Next I decided to put up the Chandelier. I bought it about a year ago at Home Dept, meant for the girls bathroom.  It was on a clearance shelf from $70 to $20.  I ended up deciding I didn't like it in there, and putting it away in the closet.  So, up it went in our bathroom today!

Change

It is no secret that I like change.  And that I can't keep the same for very long.  So, after only 7 months in our house, I have already rearranged Hayden's bedroom.  And I must say, it works much better this way!
I can't believe how dusty things were, how much was under her bed, how dirty some of the walls are.... people, it's only been 7 months.  KIDS...
Oh, but I did finally get her bed skirt on! :)
