Since Shell left, I had my first official day alone with both of the kiddos. Not to sound over confident (because I know there will be days that I want to absolutely pull my hair out) but I have to say we did really well. No major meltdowns or problems to report. I was even able to keep the house straightened up after many Noah tornadoes, got three loads of laundry done, called and checked in on the office, got a shower, took the kiddos and Bella for a walk and had dinner ready and on the table by the time Grant got home. Like I said, I know every day won't go smoothly, but boy am I am happy that the first one did :)
After dinner we made a quick trip to Kohl's to pick up the new bedding set Grant and I have had our eye on for a couple of weeks. We got our monthly Kohl's coupon and decided to jump on it with some Christmas money we had set aside. Yeah for new bedding! And it gives me a chance to make new pillow cases for the body pillows and some larger pillows for the Euro shams so I can put my cool new sewing machine to use. Granted, I have about three projects going right now anyway, but that's never stopped me before...
Alright, I need to tackle a couple more things before Mikayla is ready to chow down again at 11 and then hopefully we'll all get some sleep. She's wide awake sitting with her Daddy watching House right now, so I'm hoping that means sleep tonight. Until tomorrow, enjoy the pictures...
