Ten Back to the Routines on Tuesday

Lulu who is 3 months older pushing ben around,

she'll probably always push you around buddy, just get used to it!

And going back the other way

1. Doctors appointment yesterday. When you have 4 kids, one of whom is less than or a year old, it seems like you are going to the doctors all-the-time. Last time I tried to combine all 4 into one visit. Supposedly a quick flu shot visit, but because they were new patients it took FOREVER. But I realized since our last visit with the kids was rushed, I probably need to take David & Savannah back in again because I have some questions for the doctor. Couple that with eye doctor visits for Savannah's glasses, dental appts, and everything it feels like I am ALWAYS going to the doctors. This time I just went with Benj...4 shots, healthy boy. NOT HUGE like "some people" think but actually average sized, 45% for weight, 75% for height. Smart, sweet, cute.

2. Dave's "Day Off" today consisted of working at another dentists office who does not have a license to sedate patients and wants to hone his clinical surgery skills. Dave is awesome at both those things so they are having fun doing surgeries together. He also gets a little extra cash which is always nice. Savings & food storage are our two priorities this year.

3. My new piano comes tomorrow......I am so excited I can't sleep!

4. The kids have another 1/2 day tomorrow. WHAT! Didn't they JUST come off of a 2+ week vacation with snow days and don't they have MONDAY OFF??? I am not ready for a 1/2 day yet.

5. Isabella got to bring Corduroy home from Pre-school. Along with 5 books. We are having fun reading about this soft bear while cuddling together on the couch. Savannah also likes to read to bella.

6. Benners is walking! And I love watching his cute roly poly legs toddle around. He gets such a grin on his face when he realizes someone is watching him too.

7. Back to the running routine, my body says ouch!

8. I received inspiration during one of the talks last Sacrament meeting. I knew what the speaker said was directed at me, and my first thought was "WELL CRAP!" But I'm going to try to be better about this little "issue" I have. Enough said!

9. I am going back to cooking from the body for life book. I am ready to loose the baby weight & then some. Ben is done nursing so it's time.

10. I am trying to get some inspiration on how to do Ben's room. I don't want it too babyish because I dont' want to have to re-do it soon. But I am thinking about blue & tan paint kind of in a vertical stripe pattern. I can see it in my head, just a little scared about the actual putting it together.
