Paved with Good Intentions

I don't know if this blog will make me feel better or worse about myself, but I have been feeling overwhelmed so I thought I would put in my blog some of the things I did and didn't do this week.

I did feed my kids this week.

I didn't keep them or my kitchen clean while doing it. (At least the broom is out in this picture, at least I intended to clean it.)

Sidenote about Stacey:Holy cow that girl is one messy eater. At least once a day (really this is not an exaggeration), she spills yogurt, oatmeal, juice, etc. on the table AND on the floor! She also has the wonderful talent of table finger painting. This is where you take whatever is in front of you (yogurt is especially lovely) and dip your finger in it and make beautiful edible artwork all over the kitchen table. Hopefully on day this is a sport in the Olympics . . .

I did take 30 minutes (to get toys, snacks etc.) to get my kids in the stroller to go running stroller and then take a picture because they looked so darn cute. And then Greg came home so I decided to take them back out of the stroller and leave them with him. (It's hard enough for me to run let alone push two kids!!)

I still went running!! Just not with them!

I did sit down in my office to get all my bills done, but I didn't get any work done. Can you guess why? That's right, Daniel was in there with me!

But I did get some really cute pictures of Daniel!!!

I DID go to my 10 year high school reunion! Which was a blast!! Thanks to ya'll for planning it!

But I didn't get a new outfit or lose 10 pounds or rent a hummer or show up in a limo!! Am I lame or what?

Other cool thing that happened: Scott wrote his name all by himself! Way to go buddy!! He did such a good job!! I didn't even help him at all!

Other funny thing that happened: Stacey put this shirt on as a skirt, it was hilarious!

All in all, it wasn't a bad week!

Scott's world

The funniest one to me is the hot dogs and bread because when greg is on weight watchers he eats 4 fat-free hot dogs everyday (1 point each) and 4 slices of light bread (2 points), so Scott does see him eat it alot, no wonder he thinks it's his favorite food. I was surpirsed that Scott said tortillas for me, but I guess I don't usually eat sandwiches on bread, I usually do put it in a wrap, so I'm assuming that's where he got that answer from!! It's just funny to see how your kids see things!

Today when he told us what he learned in primary he said the learned about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of the United States of America. Now that's a long name for a church!
