I am LOVING these plates I got for the girls. I threw out all the mis-matched plates and got sme colorful ones. They look so cool lined up in the dishwasher. (Brian thinks Im crazy for taking a picture of the dishwasher :o)

2:35 Brooklynn wakes up and we all sit on the floor to play a little. The big girls do puzzles, Booklynn practices sitting up with my help.
3:00 The girls play a computer game while I sew a burp cloth in the office. Brooklynn is fussing the whole time, so I only get one done...three to go.

read some of my book The Book Thief and doze off, unless I get interrupted by Brian ;o)

ReplyDeleteIs this the same Mandi that would not set foot in the kitchen, had no interest in sewing (a very sad time for Mom), and was a little too self absorbed to be very interested in helping other people? I love the change!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess you were listening even if you weren't participating at the time. I am so proud of you and who you have become.
I love you so much,
Mom
