ToDaY…
Today I …
trimmed 160 fingers and toenails
prepared 24 meals (8 people x3 meals each) and 12 snacks
washed 7 loads of laundry
paid bills
broke up fights
cleaned up broken glass
wiped away tears and mended broken hearts
ran my finger along a window sill and made note to myself I should dust someday
painted some words on the wall that were needing to be finished up
hung up some curtains
thought about taking a nap
admired lego creations (Ben and Michael are hoping to get their picture in the Lego Magazine)
encouraged creativity (Josh brought me weeds, grass and a rock as a gift for my kitchen window sill)
took pictures of Jules because she just turned 4 months
thought about all the things that I need to write on here so I can remember them in the years to come

(Ben did the editing on the pictures of him)

why I have so much laundry. socks. no shoes.

the result of chopping wood with a hatchet using the wrong end. It bounced back and left it’s mark. Good lesson learned with very little trauma. For that I am VERY thankful.

4 MoNtHs!!! Hoping to get in some more pictures in the next day or so.

I love baby feet too! and I also love freckles and little boys with their special toys — enjoy these days — they fly by so fast!
Love the pictures! I have never thought of how many meals I prepare a day. Wow!! No wonder I am tired at the end of the day, and need to loose some weight
Julia is just beautiful!
What is more adorable than a little bracelet on a chubby little wrist like that?!?!?!?
then again…
chubby cheeks…
curled piggy toes….
those kissable lips….
all come in as a close runner up!
It is amazing what actually get accomplished in ONE day in our lives. Sometimes I think it’s good to sit and write it. I often get discouraged that I didn’t get much done…but when I sit and think…
Love the Lego creations!! I don’t think I could make that stuff. Great job, guys!!
Wow. When you write it all down like that, it really is a lot! Your kids are so cute. Your little one sure has grown a lot, she’s adorable!
My girlfriend said that since I have 4 children I needen’t dust anynmore. That was all I needed to hear
My days are surrounded by legos and American Girl Dolls!
I loved this post!
