The Week in Review

Joe is coming home today. It's been a relatively good week. Here are a few highlights of our week.
Jack, who earned his yellow belt 3 weeks ago, actually received his belt in karate this week.


Spenser, when left alone with a tape dispenser and her baby brother, got creative. As you can see, he was not happy. Not to mention as I was trying to take the pictures (I had no time to try to focus), Spenser is continuing to rip the tape off his head. (It almost makes me want to laugh. A very pitiful laugh.)
A trip to the free railroad museum right here in my town. Our first time there (in more than 6 years of living here.)
Video calls between Daddy and children.
Buttons and fabric from Katie's birthday giveaway.
And a bird applique (inspired by this Alexander Henry print). This one will go in his diaper bag as a backup for his frequent diaper explosions.

One thing that I did not photograph for my "Week in Review" is stepping on a diaper in the dark, late at night, only to realize that sleeping Spenser had removed her diaper and pajama bottoms and was wearing a skirt.

Aww poor kid. I would've probably laughed too though. I think I have yet to step in a diaper *knock on wood* And I can't believe there's something free in your town and you have never been there! Was it good?

that's the problem with being the baby: the older ones torture you.

and why, why, why do children take diapers off when going to bed? why?

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
