Hi Everyone

It's Monday again :dizzy back to the grind. What's everyone up to this week? I am trying to clean out the kids closets which has proven to be more of a job then I thought...they are a mess though and really need it! We don't have much going on, soccer practice for the boys starts this week, we have a few doctor appointments but it's pretty uneventful around here this week which is nice for a change.
 
Oh Kelly! I feel your pain! I need to clean out baby Hugh's room and closet from residual Lucas stuffs, but I need him to sleep to do it...and baby Hugh sleeps in his room. :) I'll figure something out! I'm still put out that school is in. I don't like being on schedules, but in a couple of weeks I'm sure we'll all be doing great! Soccer practices, presidency meetings, lessons, and all the normal stuff is also on the agenda :)
 
oooh when ya doing your cleaning do you wanna come do mine,im busy running after a baby who has discovered she can crawl and wants everything she cant have lol,nothing else really going on apart from endless laundry school runs etc etc
 
Ugh, spring cleaning/fall cleaning. Not my favourite things.

Today is like any weekday - kids home-reading, spelling, Bible versus before school, then I work fulltime. Tonight Beavers + Cubs start and I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to be roped into being a Beaver leader again (I really want Monday's to myself). Tuesday + Thursday are ATOM football practices (8 - 10 yrs). Wednesday is the first night for my first Beth Moore study - the book of Daniel. And Friday is a football game. Oh yeah, Sat is bowling and helping my sister move into her new house. Sigh. I'm tired just typing that all out! :giggle

I got my Bento boxes in the mail on Thursday last week, so I sent the kids to school with their first Bento lunches. I've got a picture that I need to get off the camera, but I'm hoping they will start to actually eat their lunches. They certainly were excited about helping make the lunches last night. So that's an unexpected bonus! :happydance2
 
I just spent the entire morning cleaning the house. The kids made a big mess over the weekend. Just started the laundry, 2 more loads to go. Now off to make some lunch for myself and my son. He is taking his nap right now. In the evening i have a Zumba class. I hate mondays but looking forward to my class. :)
 
Ugh... well I worked evening all weekend pulling x-ray/CT scan duties... so exhausting! I'm off today and running CT again for the next three evening. Mathieu isn't full time at school yet so getting rid of more stuff is a little harder as well as keeping the house clean for "possible" buyers is so much work. I have to get loot bags done for Caleb's 6th birthday party on Sunday and do the general last minute planning for that. DH is out of town on Wednesday for GM training so having to juggle working evening and the kids is proving to be a lot of work. Looking forward to Saturday though where the kids start back at Gymnastics. :)
 
All the cleaning - you go, girls! I need to tackle my master closet but it won't be this week. :giggle

Karen - I can't believe Gabi is crawling already!! *sigh* Time just flies!
Heather - I want to see those Bento pics!!
Renee - it sounds like a super busy week for you. I hope you get a breather soon!

I have lots of mom taxi duty this week, as usual. The most exciting thing on my agenda for the week is an advanced crochet class. Hahahaha. I know, not that exciting...

Hope everyone has a great week!
 
This week is crunch time for us in getting preparations to move. I need to write two inventories of all our stuff, one for storage and one for the stuff we are taking with us. I am doing it one room at a time and sorting and organizing as I go. Also have lots of paperwork to fill out, passport applications, school applications, etc
 
Getting my boss off to China on Thursday. And about a million other things between now and then!
 
monday is cleaning day for me.
today took me a loooooooooong time since last monday was a holiday.
and i was too lazy to clean another day of the week! HA!
so today was a do-sy.
then i got brave and cleaned out my scrapbooking armoire.
oy.
however, there should be LOTS of crafting and paper pieces in the very NEAR future!
LOL
happy monday!
 
My oldest starts soccer this week. It's her first time playing (she's 3) and I can't wait to watch!

Other than that, it's just business as usual. Story times, playdates and me trying to squeeze in crafty time.
 
Here's what they took today:

i have no idea. i feel lost without a plan this week. if you happen to find me wandering around, point me in the right direction.
 
Rebecca, you crack me up! :)

We are getting back into the swing of the school year schedule. So far so good. We have sports for the boys on Monday and Wednesday as well as back to school night on wednesday. Eep! It's going to be interesting to see how we can fit all those things in. Thursday night is scrapbook night that I organize at my church. I'm looking forward to getting a little time away for that! Friday we'll go to the local high school football game. Those are always fun. :)
 
Everyone is so very busy... but what is life without activity and meaning. Hey? My week is work M-F, work-out in early AM, laundry, and my Emma has a physical. Also, alot of carting her to basketball and volleyball practice. And so hoping to squeeze in some scrappin' time!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! :-)
