Week in Review ~ 2/19



First pieces of Oreos (that Mama is aware of).





Enjoying her Valentine school bus.



This week we spent our time getting well and staying well. I was still feeling a little weak Sunday so we stayed home from church. We needed some food in the house so we all took a trip to Walmart. By the end, I felt like I needed one of the motorized carts! We spent the rest of the day at home.

The big news of the week was that the kitchen was finished on Wednesday. We celebrated by going out to eat! I refused to buy much food while they were working because it kept going to waste, and I try my hardest not to go to the grocery store during the week. Avery and I did stop Thursday afternoon to get a few things so that we could do breakfast for dinner. Thursday we came home to a clean house which was a nice treat after having so many people in and out.

My sinuses were horrible for the second week in a row. Avery's appetite returned, and Ned dodged the bullet on the virus. I averaged 2-3 students out each day with the flu or the stomach virus, and there were a few sick at the sitter's. We're trying our best to stay well.

I finished a Kelly's Kids catalog show and earned $90 in free clothes just by taking a few orders. I wanted so many things, but most were one-piece bubbles. With potty training getting started (several more poops on the potty this week!) I don't know that bubbles will be the best choice for summer. I limited myself to two. I know that this is probably her last summer in them and I just can't resist.

On Saturday my mom and I were finally able to go shopping. I had a random list of things that I needed and got everything accomplished except for a case for my phone. I bought a few things for myself and stuck to my list for Avery with a few on-sale exceptions. Both of those things are big for me. I even managed to control myself in Babies R Us and only glanced at strollers, cribs, and swaddlers. I went back to my parents', and Avery and Ned came over after her nap. She showed up with a black eye that somehow occured in her crib before her nap. We went with my parents to a seafood dinner that our church did. We then went back to their house to celebrate Ned's birthday a little early. We came home enough cake to last us until his actual birthday on Wednesday.

We have an exciting and busy week coming up with a day off Monday, Ned's birthday, a weekend trip for Ned and I, and a big step in the house department.

Yeah for a day off. Let me know the next time you do a KK order. I just ordered E a bunch from Shrimp and Grits so my clothing budget is gone!

Happy Birthday, Ned! I know you'll enjoy your weekend away! Hope Avery's eye is looking and feeling better!
