contemplating

And what am I contemplating, you ask?  Well, I think in lists, so here's one of what's currently going through my brain:

• I'm so thankful that Micah took a nap, even after falling asleep in the car this morning.  He just woke up, and he sounds really happy.
• Caleb is enjoying playing a Winnie the Pooh game.  I love Winnie the Pooh.  He is so sweet.
• I'm catching up on FB and e-mail.  I'm trying to think of a cool status for my FB account, but nothing is coming to me.
• We went to a nice playdate this morning, and the boys were really well behaved.  Yay!
• I'm contemplating coming up with a list of 31 things I want to accomplish in my 31st year.  I have until December to come up with a list and cross things off of it.
• I'm really buckling down and thinking of ways to save money.  Mark's salary is going to get cut, and it won't be pretty.  I hate going back to having little to no money.
• Okay.  I have left the baby long enough.  Time for me to go get him.  I wonder if I could fit in some scrapbooking today?

Thanks for reading!

celebrating

My sweet little Micah turned one last week!  I wanted to share a few pics from the party.  The day before, he was really congested and not feeling well, but on the day of his actual birthday and his party, he felt much better.  He didn't feel well enough to smile, however.  I did not get a single picture of him smiling, nor did I get many scrapbook-worthy shots.  In fact, I haven't printed out any pictures because I'm not really sure what to put in the album.  Oh well, I'll make it work.  Here they are:

And yes, that is as messy as he got, folks.  I don't know why my boys are so neat, but they are.  He only ended up with a tiny smudge of cake on his cheek (not very entertaining, I know). 
So, Micah is officially one, and we had lots of fun celebrating!

making a list, checking it twice

I have about 5 minutes until I have to pick up Caleb from school, and Micah is starting to fuss about being in his Exersaucer.  Here is what's on my mind today:
1.  Micah is super-crabby.  He already took a nap on me and doesn't want me to put him down.
2.  Caleb has been throwing tantrums over silly things lately.
3.  I may or may not have to scrapbook during their nap/quiet time.
4.  I started out great with my eating today, then found a whole bunch of peppermint patties.
5.  This is going to be a loooong day with Mark at school until the boys' bedtime.
6.  I really want to scrap my schedule for the day and go to Archiver's.
7.  Haha...get it...SCRAP my schedule
8.  5 minutes is up - time to go get Caleb!
