This week... (aside from the wreck)

I'm pretty good about making myself take a nap everyday. I do it when Will goes down for his afternoon nap and Amy either lays with me and watches a movie, or has quiet time in her room. One day last week I completely zonked out- with both kids wide awake. I got up to find the strawberry container empty, the stems all over the floor.... the junk drawer emptied (courtesy of Will) and other random disasters. It's ok, it was worth it. The doors are locked and there isn't much 'permanent' damage they can do. Sure, it takes a little more cleaning, but I'm fine with that. ( I actually couldn't believe I fell asleep. It was one of those moments where you wake up, panic and think, "Did I really just do that??!!")

I can't remember what they were eating, but they sure did like it! They may have been cupcakes... oh no wait- they were chocolate doughnuts. These kids sure do like doughnuts!

Will sitting quietly watching cartoons. He's usually running around and never sits, so I thought him actually sitting, so engrossed in the tv, was cute.

I've been couponing again. I had gotten out of the habit. Monday mornings (while Will is napping) is my "prep time." There are fabulous deals out there!

I found this spin art thing on clearance and bought it for Amy. I remember having one as a child and I loved it. Of course, she loved it too and after every picture she did, she'd say "fabulous!" I always try to have some type of art project for her to do- she needs to keep busy! Luckily, she LOVES art projects and frequently tells me that Will is ready for a nap- just so she can do them.

I may just have to hang some of these up! I love her color combinations.

I told some of you, but last week Amy had a meltdown in dance class. All of a sudden she's gotten self-conscious and she freaks out at the thought of anyone watching her. But just in dance class, the rest of the time she doesn't care. Anyhow- this week her teacher and I figured out the problem- the main one is she doesn't like one of the songs and therefore doesn't know the dance. Since she thinks it's silly (It's the 'I Dream of Jeannie' song and they shake their hips) she refuses to learn it, therefore she looks silly not knowing it. Anyhow- it was a relief to figure out what was wrong! I videotaped the dance so we can practice it at home, so maybe that will help.

That's about it for this week. I have a doctor's appt today and tomorrow we have a playdate and then are headed to GA. Mom and Dad are moving into their new home this weekend and we can't wait to help!!  So exciting! Don't worry- I'll be the one taking all the pictures and videos... so stay tuned!
