Laying low

Lots of hanging at home time this week. Actually our schedule has opened up that Wed is the only day we have a standing appt. And that is just fine with me. Probably a good thing B is in school and I have to take him, otherwise I would never leave the house.

I have not found any more nativity figures in JBs diaper (which was put there by older brother). Last night was the second time I put JB down for a late afternoon nap (4:30) and he slept all night. 14 hours - he must be in a growth spurt. If I could somehow get the older two to follow suit. They so need the sleep. Every one got great reports from the dentist. It appears that B's bottom teeth are starting to loosen up a bit. It was mentioned that he might need some spacers to allow his teeth to come in, we will look at that further at our next appt.

My revamped laundry schedule is working awesome. To my surprise, I am only doing about 4-5 loads a week and that includes towels and sheets. (I guess as the kids get bigger the clothes will get bigger) I have decided to break down the whole house so that just about everything gets monthly attention. Every week day I have about 3 'chores' to do, that probably take no more than an hour. I figured the hardest month will be this first month, since I am tackling some things for the first time. But if I can make it work for me, should really help out and take it a step further of feeling like I am even more on top of my house. Would also be nice to head into each weekend without feeling like I have a lot of stuff to do around the house and can just enjoy all the kids being home.

I love listening to Christmas music. If I could figure out a cost effective way to pipe it through the whole house all day long I would. I put in a CD this morning and the boys went crazy. Dancing around the house and singing along. Yeah - they are going to love (Christmas) music as much as I do! Have considered pulling out the keyboard again to see if any of them might take an interest to it. Sure would love it if any of them were musically inclined!

We continue to be healthy, except the occasional cough and runny nose! Praise God!
