Gone too long...

WOW! I can't believe it's been 5 weeks since I last wrote a blog post! I always have a tendency to start something and then just stop doing it, but I really love writing this blog, so I don't want to do that! I'm trying www.flylady.com to get organized and keep up with everything, and my blog is on one of my checklists, so hopefully if I have to check it off each night I'll actually do it LOL!

I don't have a lot to post about today, because honestly I'm not prepared! I guess I just wanted to update and post the things we're thankful for today! In the time I wasn't posting I did sit down with the kids and write a few thankfuls, but unfortunately not 5 weeks worth. I do want to post them, but I have to find them first.

A quick update on the house! Everything finally went through and we closed and moved in on Valentine's day! Hard to believe we've been for three weeks tomorrow! I absolutely LOVE it! So far it is perfect for us! There have been a few unexpected problems (dishwasher broke after one use), but I love it so much I can overlook the little problems! I still need to get some rooms fully unpacked, and take pictures of them, and get the pictures  I have taken off my camera, but I will post them as soon as I get that finished! We are all really happy here! Even Jeremiah, who wasn't entirely on-board with buying this house, is really happy here!

Ok, I've got to get to bed, so I can stay on my flylady schedule, but here are our thankfuls for the day! Have a good Tuesday!

Riley:
1. I am thankful for me, because I wrote a letter to Mr. Briggs. [Mr. Briggs is his teacher and Riley actually got in trouble last week (which NEVER happens), and I made him write an apology letter to him.]
2. You, because you read a book to us tonight!
3. Lily, because she picked out a good book to read tonight [Little Brown Bear Won't Take a Nap]
4. Grandma Rosie, because we got to have a sleepover this weekend, and because she bought me the Mouse Trap game.
5. Daddy, because he let me play on his computer.
6. Cody L's dad, because he said if you were ever late again he'd wait with me. [I ran out of gas on the way to pick him up from school last week and they waited with him. Yes I suck LOL!]

Lily:
1. I am thankful for my new lampshade! [Ah, the little things!]
2. Grandma Rosie, because we had a sleepover this weekend. [Riley totally stole this from her after she said it!]
3. The new marker mommy is using to write these. [She picks the most random things LOL!]
4. My gymbelle doll.
 
5. I am thankful for you, mommy, because I like your room. [Can you tell she basically picks what she sees at the moment?]

Me:
1. I am thankful for my new house!
2. I am thankful for keeping my new house clean so far!
3. I am thankful for finding flylady and her checklists!
4. I am thankful that Jeremiah is coming home from work early tonight!
5. I am thankful that I have 2 great kids, even though they drive me nuts sometimes LOL!

Jeremiah:
1. For groundhogs, because spring is almost here! [Yes, the groundhog saw his shadow and my husband is a dork LOL!]
2. I am thankful you ordered pizza, cause I'm really hungry.
3. I'm thankful we have really respectful children. [Apparently some guys at work had some issues with disrespectful kids today]
4. I'm thankful I got my project done at work.
5. I'm thankful you'd let me go on a trip with my cousin, even though I can't get the time off work. I'm thankful I have a caring and understanding wife. [Aww...]
