My Accomplishments

Here is the moment of truth...

0. Enjoyed my kids... ALWAYS!
Yes even if they are like this I enjoy them.
What a smile!


2. Put Clothes away from trip! ... Check!

3. Get Gas .. Ugg! Check! ( We get a gas guzzler when gas has almost reached the $4 mark. What timing!)
Thank goodness for this place! It is a pain to wait in this line, but I was on the phone with my good friend Emily!
4. Vacuum up/downstairs...Check!

5. Do YW Slideshow...Check!


7. Work on Blog Book...Check! ( I did a couple pages.)

8. Get to the park today...Not today (But Tyson came home early and took the kids for a run!)

9. Fix Kitchen lights...(Tyson did that for me!)

And we decided to save the planet 1 light bulb at a time with these bad boys!



So Tyson got all handyman"ish" and decided to change the lights in the hall that have been out since we moved in. :) In the process the glass light fixture fell down the stairs and came to a sticky end on the linoleum, and broke a chair! I hope we don't have to change anymore lightbulbs anytime soon...I don't want anything else to break! :)

10. Take books back to the library...Check!

11. Tidy downstairs...Check!

12. Take pilgramege to Target to buy more sippy cups, oatmeal, bananas, and milk...Check!

13. Work on onesie projects...Check!


I also made a yummy dinner...which doesn't always happen. (Well yummy I always do, but actually cooking...is less frequent.) Go here to see what I made! (That was my first link!)

To Do

I have an ENORMOUS to do list today! I was talking to a friend last night who said all her big projects keep sliding down the list. My big projects do that too! So I decided if I put it on the blog, I would have more motivation to get it done today, or if it is really BIG by the end of this week!

0. Enjoy my kids. :) Always on top of the list!

The rest of these can be done during naps. I am blessed to have kids that take such long naps that some of these can get done in the 5 hours they sleep during the day. (2 1/2 morning nap, 2 1/2 afternoon nap) Watch them not sleep today. :)
1. Do Taxes (That is a big one that is slipping. I usually get it done so early, and then I have our refund check back before most people have done their taxes, but this year is different. :)
2. Put away clothes from our trip.
3. Get Gas
4. Vacuum up/down stairs
5. DO YW video for New Beginnings
6. Finish 2 of the twins videos
7. Work on Blog Book
8. Get to the park today
9. Fix Kitchen lights
11. Take books back to library
12. Tidy downstairs
13. Take pilgramege to Target to buy more sippy cups. (I hate washing the same two.), oatmeal, bananas, and milk.
14. Work on onesie projects.
15. Make nursing cover for girl who ordered one.

I know this is a big list! But I thought I should write down everything I need to do, and the small things I can get done today, and the big things I can start working on and try and finish before the end of the week! Can I do it? I will post again later tonight with my accomplishments.

Cookie Monster!!!

I see the similarities!

Chicken

No words necessary!

We Solemnly Swear We are Up to No Good...

Notice that Merrick is the culprit in ALL of these... except the one where B and I shoved toys down his shirt... tehehe!


Notice that Merrick has both legs up on the little banister. He saw the cookies on the table. There is a drop of at least 4 feet below him... daredevil...
Berkleigh and I packed Merrick's onesie with toys... below are all the toys we stuffed in there!

I don't know how this happened AT ALL. I had a playdate with my friends 2 kids today while she is on bedrest...yuck! *for her, not me... we had fun!* So I was busy with three other kids and I see this... awesome.

It has been to long...

Tyson and I haven't gone skating for so long. It is not as fun to push a stroller while trying to cruise, ya know? So the babies went down for a nap, and we (left the door open) and skated on our driveway. It was fun. We took pictures, and it was fun to see the different between our skating styles...
TYSON: crazy trick guy
JEN: cruiser

Ode to Friends, Zachary's and Matthew Fox

Last night was the first time in the two years that we have hung out with our friends the Carvers, Heymans, Petersens (and Wattles who moved away) without kids. We have never had a kid free night. Between the 5 of us couples we have 10 kids and they are usually always running around while we play games, watch movies, watch our favorite tv shows etc. Well last night we decided we needed a couples night. We all got babysitters and went out to the BEST pizza place EVER. (I must be obsessed, cause this is the second post about Zachary's in like 2 weeks. I should get paid for advertising!) We then went to see Vantage Point (which is not the greatest movie, but I can stare at Matthew Fox forever, so I was happy), and then we went to have dessert with the Petersens who couldn't come.

This picture doesn't do this amazing pizza justice!

Chris was mad he wasn't it the pic Tyson took, so he got his own very special one.


Mmmm...Matthew "Foxy"!
