Life as it happens

This picture isn't very clear but I thought I would share it anyway. It is lots of butterflies on a tree. The Monarch Butterfly was migrating and stopped here for a rest. (Well, a few blocks away at my friends house.)



Lickin' the "spoons."

My dad and me on our birthday.

Jonathan learned to ride his bike without training wheels. If you notice in the picture, they are still on the bike but bent up.

Now Daddy is taking them off.

Jonathan got to help a little. Then Daddy took over again.

Way to go!!!

B-day time...

Well, the day is almost here. I have one year and one day to be in my 30's. Wow!! 39....

My dad and I share our birthdays. I think is is really special. I wouldn't want it any other way.

We are going to have a birthday party here at my house. We are going to have Breakfast for Dinner. Yum!!

Pancakes
Bisquits
Gravy
Scrambled Eggs
Sausage
Bacon
and maybe some hashbrown.

I expect to have at least 18 people, more or less.

My dad will be 64 this year.

So...Happy Birthday to us. LOL.

A kid funny.

We were sitting at the table after lunch. We had been playing "I spy" by spelling words and then Jonathan figuring out what we spelled and spied. Well, it was his turn to spell something and he spelled "bible" because he seen it on a book on the shelf behind Daddy. Then he spelled "landscaping".. Daddy said the word and then asked Jonathan if he knew what it meant.

Jonathan said "yes, it means scaping from the land of America" I laughed do hard. I thought I would roll on the floor.

Happy Birthday!!

We celebrated Jonathan's 6th birthday Tuesday, the 18th. WOW!

He is such a blessing to us!

Below are some of our guests. Don't get scared. LOL.

Here are Daddy and Son playing with Transformers. I think he had a wonderful Birthday

Flylady update

Howdy.

Thought I would post an update since I finished my baby steps on FlyLady.

I am doing pretty good. I still shine my sink, I still swish and swipe the bathroom. I have done some decluttering but I am having a hard time doing it everyday like I should. I have so much that needs doing. I tried to clean out a room the other day, I was just going to work on it 30 minutes...I couldn't do it. I got too frustrated. I don't know what to do with that stuff. grr...

I will try again some day.

I finally got half of the porch cleaned off. I still need to do the other half. Just more stuff to find a place for..

I have been keeping my side of the bedroom pretty clean. I work on hot spots a few times a day.

There are a few of the steps that I still need to make a habit. Making time for myself, decluttering, etc. I have been keeping up with the wash better this month. It is a good feeling to always have clean socks.

Flylady Days 30 and 31

Day 30: Check calender for next months events.

Good idea. I missed my scheduled nursery day this month. I didn't put it on my calender. It was pinned to my fridge but I just missed it anyway. I need to stay ahead.

We don't have any birthdays next month so the only thing right now I can see to keep in mind is my time in the nursery at church.

I looked at day 31 today and there isn't anything to do. FlyLady is proud of me. :)

I have started adding some of the Zone cleaning and am working on adding some weekly habits.

I will not give up!! I will fly someday, I will soar. Yee haw.

Flylady - Day 29

Ok. Time for my FlyLady post.

Day 29: Set time to enjoy the Weekly Pamper Mission. These are listed on the FlyLady web site. I am going to check them out. I have some ideas myself. I just need to figure out when would be a good time to do it.

Here are a few things I will do:
-Milk bath. If you have never done this before, you should try it. Really. Of course I have fresh goat milk to use and I come out of the bath feeling soft and silky.

-Do my nails.

_This I got off Flylady...Soak feet in warm water with some oil and marbles. The marbles help massage the feet. This I can't wait to try.
