Life 2011: Week 3

Beth has really enjoyed being a part of Girls Scouts. Twice a month we head over to the Girl Scout building and JJ and I hang out (a lot of drawing and Angry Birds on my phone) while Beth does her thing. Today she was excited to make a butterfly out of a clothespin and coffee filters!

So we have been without a sink faucet in the bathroom since before Christmas. We kept thinking we would wait and buy a really nice one, but in the end, the $10 plastic one won out. Can I just say how grateful I am to have running water in the bathroom again!!!!

Doing homework in a princess dress is just much more pleasurable!

We have started using our chore charts again. It's been kind of a struggle to use them for some reason. Hopefully we get back in the habit!

I have spent lots of time at the computer this week, trying to get back to designing. But as I look back at the week - I am feeling good about the things I have accomplished. One of those things, was on Monday, when I actually prepared and gave a lesson on Faith for our Family Home Evening. We have gotten in the habit of doing more activities together, which is important, but I wanted to bring more teaching into our family this year. I spent most of my day on Monday getting ready but I think the lesson went well and I'm excited to teach my kids the gospel.

I made my first small goal today - I have lost 5 lbs since Christmas! It's a slow process, but its felt really great to workout every day. I love my Wii Fit! Joey participated in a Constitution class all day today. The kids enjoyed having another pajama day and playing together, while I did a bit of cleaning up and a lot of designing.

Another movie tonight from my growing up years. Super Fuzz was always a fun movie to watch and Joey and I were both excited to show the kids it for Family Movie Night. We served Meatballs and Rice in a RED SAUCE for dinner. In the movie, Dave (the main character)'s super powers stop when he sees the color red. The kids enjoyed it!


And here is my weekly layout:


I used JK Designs' Snow Drift to create this layout! If you haven't checked out the My Creative Life at ScrapDelicious. You really need to! It has some really valuable Project 365 Information and I'm excited to be using it this year!
