Wow! Sorry I've been gone so long!

The end of the school year must have thrown me for a loop! 

We have had VBS, & a week's vacation for Dave & I already. (plus various & sundry other activites for all the kids). 


Get It Done:

1.  Laundry (Kids washed & dried, our clean put away)
2.  Unpack from trip, put suitcases away
3.  Finish registering Nat for school.
4.  Withdraw Ruthie. (Tried-but after an hour online, searching for any info on how to do it, I can't find ANYTHING.)
5.  Register the girls for dance next year.

OPTIONAL:
1.  Grade Ana's math up to now.
2.  Clean kitchen. 
3.  Go through one shelf of games.

Happiness is......(& a Get it Done post)

The girls (Ana & one of her friends who spent the night) woke me up yesterday morning at 5:56AM & brought me breakfast in bed!  So very sweet of them! Omlette, fruit, yogurt, & a whey protein drink.  Then they made me coffee!

What makes it even funnier (because what parent LOVES being awakened before 6 am for b-fast on a Saturday) is that I have been up almost all night w/a coughing Ruthie.

Back to my "Get it Done" posts today.  Ruthie is still sick, so we stayed home from church.

But, today, I realized I am turning my children into listmakers, too,
