seven things

1. my favorite meal this week was the homemade mac n cheese i made from this recipe.

it's comfort food at it's finest!

dave and i like to add franks red hot sauce to it too.

2. someone told me today that i'm getting so fat that my shirts don't even fit anymore.

he said it sweetly though. hint: the one who will be our smack dab in the middle child said it.

and he's sort of right because these days i'm just hanging around, my belly often hangs out.

3. and these days i haven't really just been hanging around ... i'm nesting like crazy!

almost every closet, cupboard, cabinet, under sink space around this place has been cleaned out.

well, i get tired fast though, then i get cranky and irritable.

i don't want to be that way to these people i love the most.

so i decided i only have two more big jobs and a few little ones to do till i slow down.

4. when i say slow down, i mean hang with my babies for their spring break.

i have a feeling that won't be slowing down too much.

i do have to know my limits.

5. i am thankful for our lent beans.

it helps me catch the kids doing good.

i want to make that a habit forever ... i probably think that every year.

it's just so much easier for me to correct them.

6. we have a first communion dress for janie.

i think it's adorable, and she feels pretty in it!

shoes are going to be a challenge for us.

she has really narrow feet and doesn't fit into any slip on so we're gonna have to find something that straps to her, and i'm afraid they are going to be the kind of shoe she may only wear once.

i'm most excited about flowers in her hair.

well, the sacrament of receiving the eucharist is awesome too!!

she's a good girl.

7. i'm ready for spring and fresh air and flowers and warm sunshine.

but if it's gonna snow in march, i'm grateful it came at just the right time for a snow day.

i got to sleep in and go to my bedroom for an afternoon nap.

the kids had a picnic in the snow ... i think they are ready for spring too.

jeff loved having the kids home too.

I had three servings of the man &!cheese! Yummo! And yes, your belly is big and your nesting made me go home and clean my fridge properly! Xoxo
