Some random thoughts for today...

(I just noticed that the date on my camera is wrong.)

First off,It was Brett's birthday yesterday! So happy birthday to the greatest father and husband around! We love you!

Second, why in the world is it so hot! It is making this pregnant lady a little irritable! I thought that I had timed this pregnancy just right this time to have this baby before it got too hot. Wouldn't you know that this would be the year for record breaking highs in April! In case you haven't noticed, I don't handle the heat well.

Third, I am having a tough time getting back into my usual schedule. Being on vacation always has this effect on me. I have managed to unpack and I've washed the laundry, now I need to fold it and put it away. I cleaned my kitchen and mopped my floors and things are generally tidy, but there is more that needs to be done (isn't that always the case?). So in an effort to motivate myself, here is my checklist of chores that I would like to accomplish (or at least begin) for today.

1. Fold laundry and put away
2. Wash sheets
3. Begin to clean and organize the office that may become a kids room (where are we going to put a 4th child?!)
4. Pull out the baby clothes and start more laundry
5. Do something fun with my kids (Cameron just asked if we could have a picnic, maybe an indoor under the AC picnic)
6. Try to stay cool. Darn heat wave. If it doesn't go away, I am going to finish out my pregnancy in Utah!
7. Work on a fun project for the kids play room (probably won't happen today, but I can dream.)
8. Fix the date on my camera.

Finally, my boys are crafting! I love to see them hard at work creating something they can be proud of. Looks like fun doesn't it?!



Now I'm off to tackle this list of chores!
