Monday update

So, for the weekend, I stopped spring cleaning. :) We've had such a busy week that I thought we should take a break. Not much left to do anyways. :) I've got to get back into the cleaning though, but its not going to happen today. :)

We got AT&T U-verse today! whoohoo! So far, so good. :) Love the new channels and so does Hannah! :)

We're trying to potty train Hannah. She has done really well for the last 2 weeks. She'll have a couple days where she won't pee in her diaper and then one day where that's all she'll do. We've started bribing now. When she gets potty trained, we'll buy her a powerwheels car! The neighbors across the street have two for their children and she wants one really bad! So, we keep telling her she needs to work on getting her car by going potty! Today, she got up and went all by herself without me making her! I'm so excited!! :)

The kids have runny noses again. :( We go a couple days well and then 1 week sick. I think we're taking a break from nursery and what not for them to really get them healed.

I am loving our connection group book that we are reading. We are reading "The parent you want to be." It's really good and goes hand-in-hand with the other book that I'm reading "Parenting isn't for superheroes."

That's our life at the moment. Not a whole lot going on at the moment, but I'm sure that will change; it usually does. :)

Spring cleaning update

Ok, so I didn't take a break yesterday. I did do Christopher's room. I cleaned out his toy chest, at least, dusted, cleaned the windows, and vacuumed. I still have to clean out closets. I think I'm saving that until the very end. :)

Today, I cleaned the guest bathroom. I cleaned the rim around the top of the shower, scrubbed the walls, cleaned under the sink, cleaned out the drawers, cleaned the floor, scrubbed the grout with Clorox, cleaned the outside of the liter box, vacuumed, cleaned the toilet, and the sink. Now, I smell like bleach! But that's ok. :) That brings 5 rooms done and 3 to go! I am loving cleaning out all this junk!

Tonight is Bunco and I'm excited! I've been so busy lately, I feel like I need some time home though. I worked at the church Tuesday night, Wednesday night, tonight is Bunco, and I work at the church Friday night for Friday Night Out! It's just been go, go, go!

Currently, I'm reading Isaiah (still), Parenting Isn't for Superheros, and The Parent You Want to Be. Lots of reading. I'm also still reading The Power of a Positive Mom. Lots of emphasis on parenting lately. :) I want to be the best parent I can be so that my children know that I love Jesus and that they will love Him as well. Some of this parenting stuff is difficult for me and it makes me cry, because I see all the areas that I lack in. BUT GOD IS GOOD! And He knows my heart is in it and He will provide and help correct those lacking areas. :) Isn't that great knowing that we have Him to look to for the things we lack?! :)

Ok, now its time to shower and clean myself up a little for Bunco. I've also got a load of dishes washing, clothes in the washer, and clothes in the dryer. Busy, busy, busy. :)

Spring cleaning

I've started our spring cleaning now. Yay! We started in Hannah's room on Monday. We sanitized toys, cleaned windows, dusted, moved furniture, vacuumed, cleaned out the toys (the ones too small for her moved down to Christopher's room).

Tuesday, it was the living room's turn. I added the dining room to it too. I decided to rearrange furniture. I wanted the dining room table in our bay window and turn the dining area into a reading area. I thought it would work, but couldn't find the measuring tape, so I just moved all the furniture. Guess what? It didn't work and I ended up moving all the furniture back! Haha! That figures! But, all the furniture got cleaned and the windows, the floors swept (we have wood floors), I still need to dust, clean out our gaming area, but the rest of the two rooms got done (with lots of help from Hannah). I even washed the couch cushion covers.

I think I'm taking a break today from the cleaning. Christopher woke up for an hour last night and then got up one other time after that. I'm really tired today, just worn out. So, I'll resume my cleaning tomorrow. I've got to decide which room to go to next, I'm thinking Christopher's room since he inherited a lot of toys, I need to clean out his toys as well.

This is a great way to get ready for garage sale season! :) Very excited that I'll have a lot to sell off. :) What doesn't sell is going into the next Rhea Lana consignment sale. :) YAY!
