I bought 4 little packs of magnet shapes at Dollar Tree. A simple cookie sheet made the perfect surface to play on.

Lining up all the triangles

Later that night:

Should be a busy next few days.

Tomorrow would normally be a short day for Bob which makes me a happier Wife, because there is no weights after school. But tomorrow is Bulter Colleges first spring game and Bobby is taking some of the high school students to the game. So there is a break from when Bob gets off to when the game starts but he needs some special art supplies that ne needs to get before next week roles around and the stuff is in Wichita. He’s thinking of running to Wichita to get the supplies in the that time he has in between work and the football game. Upside is that if he does run, he is taking both the girls with him which will be nice.

If he does go and take the girls, that might be my time that i need to run to the store because i need to buy groceries badly.

Today i wrote up the ad matches for the week and tonight i wrote up my meal plan and shopping list… so besides going back through and making sure i have all the coupons that might go with my items, then i am ready to go shopping.

Then Saturday Bobby has to work the swimming meet in the morning and thinks he will be done maybe around 2pm. After he gets off we are heading to Wichita to do some leisurely shopping. I want to go to the Habitat Restore for a few things and then i am hoping Bob will take me to Kohls. I am in real need of bottoms… pants and shorts cause having this baby, i upped a size or two. I know it’s probably the last thing Hubs wants to do is go cloths shopping but I'm not sure when I'm going to have him with me, in Wichita any time soon. We will see.

But in the evening we are going to some football game. I guess the El Dorado band is doing a drumline competition at the half time so we are going to support. They had a special deal on tickets where you get a family pack and it includes hotdog, chips and drink for 4 people. Normally i would not be to happy about going to watch some football but Bob said we wouldn’t have to stay the whole time…. and at least this time I'm not running solo, Bob will be with me… which will be nice.

I’m hoping Saturday will be a nice time out with the fam and not stressful. I had a pleasant time last time i was out on the town and that was me by myself with all three kiddos so surely this would be easier :)

It seems like Matthew has been sleeping a tad bit longer lately. I’m just hoping it continues! I think it has to do with him eating more.

He’s been letting me lay him down as well, which it has been nice to get a break every once in a while. Today after a good feeding and diaper change he went to sleep and let me lay him down. I somehow got a burst of energy and i got up and did some house cleaning during nap time. Good thing too cause the house has been getting bad.

I was able to clean the bathroom, sink and toilet.

The i moved onto the kitchen and put a load of dishes in the washer, cleared the clutter, hand washed the remaining dishes, put away all the dishes, cleaned all the counters. Then went through the spice cabinet, emptied it out, cleaned the cabinet. I had some repeat spices in there that i took out and put in the stock pile and i also refilled some of the spices. All in all the spice cabinet is so much nicer now!

Then i cleaned the clutter in the living room and dinning room. I washed the coffee table and the kids chairs.

Then i swept and mopped the floors (kitchen, bathroom, dinning room and living room)

I am so proud of myself for getting all that done!

and before all that i helped the girls do some schooling. Anabel worked on her school book while Abby worked on ABCmouse.com and then on some printed work where she did some tracing.

So i feel like a huge accomplishment! It’s the most i have done since having Matthew. I hope this can keep up and i can continue to get stuff done.
