Thanks to Dexter Rothchild of over the line productions I have a new header. The caricature was done at the Magnolia Seafair street fair. I wanted something a little more timeless, instead of making me feel old. I think I will put some pictures in a slide show later on the side bar.
A check in on my goals for the summer with 3 weeks left.
1. Keep sane with 5 kids 10 and under, and 3 kids 3 and under.
2. Get organized (garage, desks, etc. etc.)
3. Potty Train 3 and 1/2 year old stubborn red headed son.
4. Get 6 year old to keep her room tidy.
5. Get 20 month old 100% bottle free (this means enduring spills and training her to drink only in the kitchen).
6. Get 20 month old off to go to sleep at bed time without the TV.
7. Get the 4 eldest kids to go to bed on time by end of summer.
8. Make sure the summer reading list gets read for everyone.
9. Keep fun in the mix (make sure the kids have some fun activities mixed in with the forcing them outside).
10. Keep the budget on schedule.
The organizing is slowly happening, the garage is all that’s left. It is progress. Potty training is not so much. Bed time changes start next week on monday. All and all not bad. Pretty on target.
Today I am getting a makeover, and cleaning out my makeup drawer. I have run out of scrub, moisturizer, and foundation. I am also sewing some cute baby things.
