JoAnn time!

I had a wonderful meeting with JoAnn today. She is my mentor in more ways then one... Anyhow, we get together monthly and just chat, and it is so wonderful! I feel bad sometimes when leaving that I have just blabbed her ear off! She always has awesome suggestions, some of which make the perfect sence, and it just didn't occur to me, before it occured to her! Anyhow, she has given me assignments as far as my Bible reading goes Isaiah, Michah, Proverbs, and also to purchase a John Piper book that is on the list. I just So love my time with her. I always tell her just about everything that is going on spiritually, business-wise, and whatever else... parenting especially!

Our weekend was a total blessing from God. We were able to travel to Ohio (which we in all honesty weren't sure if we were going to pull off because of lack of funds) and be there for the launch of Beavercreek Community Church. We went to meet with our best buds from Harrisburg, PA, and with our other best buds that live in Dayton, OH. It was actually about perfectly in the middle of us and the Stk's. We had a blast totally surprising Michael and Annie. Love it! It was hilarious. We showed up and Annie was like "What are you doing here?"... We had visited them a while back when we went to PA... and it was so much fun to hang out and have pizza and eat chinese, and just catch up. We were able to meet the Abells new kiddo Jacob, he is a peanut (ohhh I should use a different term, they are all allergic to peanuts) Ok, he is a little dumplin'... so adorable. Christopher is getting his daddy's curly head of hair, and is so sweet. Loves to play with our kids. We stayed at a really nice hotel and for two days, I got to enjoy the luxury of a dishwasher ;) I want one! ;) Anyhow, we had such a lovely time of fellowship. I miss them terribly!
We arrived home last night with two tired toddlers in tow, and today we spend running errands and cleaning up and getting stuff put away... Alot of fuN!!!

And she's down for the count!

Don't you just LOVE the gollashes??? My kids wear them all the time.... She has been falling asleep in the most random places at the most random times. We have busy mornings... all of a sudden she was singing twinkle twinkle while I was in the kitchen, I didn't hear her anymore, and found her like this. Trust me, I was a bit scared when I first found her!

Avon stuff...

I have decided that my assignment for today is to work on handing out my Avon literature... I haven't been working hard enough I don't think to aquire new customers, so I need to step up my game a little bit. I love working with this company, but actually don't see myself continuing on w/ it too much longer if I can't establish a stronger customer base. Trust me, I love the discount too... SO excited for the delivery that will be arriving on Friday because I ordered this lipstick, that has 24K gold in it (don't ask my why it needs 24K gold, but when at the meeting they explained because it is eatible, and because it is shimmery!) and Reese Witherspoon, who I am sure makes any lipstick look good, is our spokesmodel for it. So, I ordered some! See, this is actually why I really love working for this company, because it is funny how it can make you feel a bit excited to get a new lipstick in the mail! ;) Anyhow...
I love the weather today, so I am even more excited to make book deliveries!
Well I am off to give the babies baths (should I seriously even call them babies anymore? Probably not, but oh well!) and then outside to work and play! ;) Have a good one!

Weekend

It was a pretty nice weekend. I am tired this morning, but as always with Monday's, I have tons to do! So excited for this weekend. We are about to surprise someone, and I am SO excited I can't even stand it!
Anyhow, this week will be busy for us I am sure, and it is last week with Becky. I am so excited because we are getting chinese tonight. I don't really get the opportunity to eat chinese that much because my DH doesn't care for it too much! So, I am super excited! Still going strong w/ no Coke consumption, and not biting my nails. I am super excited because these are two habits I have been wanting to break for quite a long time. Wyatt is, as of 7am this morning, in underwear. Yay! I am going to keep him in it regardless until naptime and then again after.
Just a quick update for ya. Have a good week!

Saturday Mornings...

I love Saturday mornings, like the Saturday morning I had this weekend. I was feeling ill on Friday night (much to do with the very busy afternoon we had on Friday), so my DH let me sleep in. I was so grateful! When I got up the kids were eating breakfast (grateful x2). Ben told me that he was planning on working on the Jeep, so I thought it would be fun to walk to the park/coffee shop that we have in Hartland. My friend Becky is moving to Arizona in about 11 days, so I am trying to book as much time as possible w/ her. So, she decided to venture out with us! I really enjoyed getting fresh air and exercise, plus a total bonus was stopping at the coffee shop and picking up some fun books at the library. The rest of the day, once we returned was spend chillin' at home, which is cool cuz I got a lot of cooking done. My dessert that I was so excited about totally stunk, oh snap, but my Irish soda bread wasn't bad! My husband made dinner and I was like grateful x3!! It was a fun day! The evening we spent in, and tried to put the baby to bed w/o her paci... ugh that stunk. She cried for about an hour and eventually gave her the darn paci. Goodness we have to break her of this soon!!!
Anyhow, what a blessed weekend it has been! We are heading to church in awhile, but thanks to the time change, I get a bit of extra time this morning to get the laundry done and clean up a bit!
Yay for daylight savings time! (wait... I think it should read more like Thanks for the end of daylight savings time? Whatev... you get my drift ;))

Park Visit on Friday!

We have had a couple of super fun trips to the park with the unseasonably warm weather we have had lately (did I mention that it is crazy that one of the local radio stations I happened upon on Friday while out running errands is now playing Christmas music??? Seriously!) On Friday, we went out with K and E to Cushing park in Delafield. It was SO much fun! I had a great time catching up and spending Mommy time. We had so many errands to run on Friday too, which made for a harried afternoon for me, but I had a BLAST in the morning... Thanks K!
