Day 31: My Day

Tuesdays and Thursdays are sometimes my favorites days. They are definitely the days I can get the most done as for three hours I only have one helper; so they have definitely become our errand days.

Today we hit the dollar store, JoAnn's, Home Depot (big project coming soon!!) and Costco. I think it might have been a little much.
And where was Alex? At preschool- and today on a field trip to a bakery where she made her own bread.And we passed time in the afternoon by playing beauty parlor.It was a great day.

Day 30: Um a Picture?

Okay, well I didn't take any real pictures. It was just a weird day, getting back into the swing of things, then Eric was home early as he was about to take off on a business trip- so yea, but I did take a screen shot of my new todo app- applying so many great things I learned with Power of Moms.

Day 29: Rest and Change

Sunday's are always a great day of rest. We fed the church missionaries dinner. And then we began implementing some of the things I had learned in my conference.

A new family economy system

And that is my in-box--

Day 28: Retreat

Saturday I spent another day at the Power of Mom's Conference. It was another amazing day helping me to refocus on what matters most, learn some great new strategies and tips and just meeting so many amazing women.

And a catered lunch from Panera Bread is always a good thing

Day 27: A Beautiful Start

Friday morning began with this

Day 26: Curls to Stay

Ryder and I ran some errands- while we were checking out the lady saw the back of Ryder- so this view
and she said she and her several times- sorry lady he is a boy, curls and all.

And those curls are going to stay, I love love them!

And some days- cereal for breakfast is really just the perfect thing
And since the weather was beautiful we went outside. Ryder wanted to try and ride his sister's scooter- but he already knows helmets are required

even if it is your sister's princess helmetand if it gets taken away-well you can see the results

Day 25: The Tooth

Have you been wiggling your tooth? It had become a daily question. Tonight when he showed how much it wiggled Eric said we should try and get it out.

From the bathroom I hear wiggling, and crying and shouts of look it's almost out!

And finally success!
A few tears, but the thought of the tooth fairy coming made it all okay.He lost tooth number 5 on Thanksgiving, this tooth- number 6 came on his 100th day of 1st grade.
