Yay me!

All right, I am feeling pretty good...I have been such a "Debbie Downer" lately, I apologize! The flu bug passed through the kids and I over the past few days, and now we're back on track and as healthy as ever. Which leads me to my list of productiveness: (I know it's really sad that I have to take note of this, but these are huge accomplishments that make me feel better about my day)

1. All kids up, showered, dressed and fed by 8:30. (no this does not happen every morning, the showering part at least).
2. Brayden finished his homework.
3. I scrubbed the downstairs toilet/bathroom and cleaned the basement so it would be presentable for my clients today.
4. Dusted the entryway.
5. Cleaned the kitchen (washed all the dishes, unloaded dishwasher and cleaned off ALL the counters, (this is huge, the mail is organized and all the randoms got put away).
6. Cleaned out the girls closet and filled up 2 bags of hand-me-downs.
7. Ironed B's shirt for pictures today.
8. Got the oil changed in the van.
9. While the oil was being changed, walked to the coffee stand and dropped off a latte to my MIL. I love that she works so close and I can do that. (I don't know that her boss really appreciates it, but WE do)!
10. Sped home, fed the girls lunch, put their party dresses on, picked up B and headed to pictures at Sears.
11. Spent an hour and a half getting pictures taken and picking them out! This was the first time in 3 years where I wasn't sweating profusely through the whole process. All the kids did such a great job listening and posing and smiling! I was quite impressed, we got some good pics.!
12. Now I just have 4 clients to see, then on to dinner and bed time! YAY for a wonderful productive day!

Which is more annoying "Debbie Downer" or "Happy Heidi?"

I will post them when I pick them up!

He lost it......

His first baby tooth is missing! It was loose for a while, and this morning it fell out while he was wiggling it. Brayden wasn't quite sure what to think, I think he was a little bit scared. The other one is already on its way up.
He is so excited to get a DIME from the tooth fairy.

Calling Dad, and all the grandparents to tell them the news!











Of course these little ragamuffins needed their pics. taken too!
