Okay, since SOME people have grown tired of seeing my 80's picture every time they log on, I guess it is time for a new blog entry. Lots of little things have happened in the past few weeks that have kept me very busy. I just downloaded a bunch of pics off of the camera, so I will just post those with little updates.
As for me (since I am never IN any pictures) I am trying hard to get life organized before summer hits. I am trying to get myself up and out of bed about an hour before the kids do so I can get myself ready, get the dishwasher unloaded, a load of laundry in the washer, and read my scriptures before the whirlwind morning begins. I think that the root of my disorganization problem is that I spend all day trying catch up because I generally get up about the same time as the kids. This new plan is working quite well. The girls are back doing their chore charts, I have had more time to be outside working on my flowers, and real meals are being cooked. But I do apologize to any friends who are feeling neglected. I feel that I am losing touch with everyone! I am so busy that I don't even spend as much time on the computer. And for SURE less time on the phone. I guess those aren't bad things.
Okay -- here is a pictoral review of the past two weeks. Minus the three dentist appointments, the last day of preschool, the bad colds the entire family caught, the trip to my parents house to attend the temple with my sister for the first time, today's trip to town to see Shrek and do some shopping, Brian's birthday (or lack thereof), and anything else I may have forgotten.
My Mother's Day flowers. Very pretty. Very fragrant.
The girls ballet recital. Jillise's class danced as "gumdrops" and Joelle's class were ducklings (duh). They both did VERY well and I can't wait to watch the DVD because Joelle's class had me laughing so hard that I missed alot due to the tears welling up in my eyes.
The Childrens Museum. The annual field trip for Joelle's preschool. It was really fun. WAY less crowded than it has been in the past. And cleaner. I was impressed. Usually I avoid that place like the plague because you can almost see the germs breeding as snot nosed child after snot nosed child picks things up and passes them along. But I didn't get that vibe this time. Hooray! We all dressed in orange in preparation for the mob of kids (easier to spot hunter orange in a crowd).

gosh, I can't believe someone would be so rude as to dis your 80's picture! The nerve. ;o)
I absolutely LOVE Joelle's duck costume!! That would've been a hoot to see. Her expression is so cute too.
I hope your routine keeps working for you. I know that getting up & ready before my kids wake up is my one saving grace. If I don't do that I feel like my day is totally shot. It's weird how that works.
You HAVE been busy!!! I love the pics of the girls. It's scary how grown up they look with all the makeup! Those costumes are adorable, too. And I totally agree with the plan of getting up before your kids do. It's almost impossible for me to stay on track if I don't.
I understand the lack of post. Things have been crazy here as well. The girls did absolutly wonderful at the recital. They had a ball together, and Maddie is already asking when ballet is next.
I hope everthing calms down.
See ya soon
