Been Meaning to Blog...

I won't even try to recap what we've been up to for the last month or so since I last blogged. Seems like every day is a whirlwind of dishes, dirty diapers, and, uh, playdates. Sorry, I couldn't keep the alliteration going there. Anyway, several times as I'm just drifting off to sleep, I'll think "Oh, I should blog about such and such..." and then I never make it past that thought. So, here are a few things (that I can think of right now) that I've been meaning to blog about.

--Found this great new website with recipes for moms.

Easy Meals for Moms

So far I've made the chicken salad and the tilapia. Both were very good and very easy! Next, I'm going to make the Tex Mex Slow Cooker Chicken.

--Preschool starts in 1 week! Hallelujah! This will be Owen's final year in preschool. He'll be in the 4 1/2 class and goes 2 days a week. I'm going to send Luke 1 day a week. He'll either be in the nursery or toddler class. He's kind of in that in-between stage. I'm so looking forward to having some free time again! I feel like the house has been piling up around me all summer, and maybe now I'll have the time and energy to tackle some of the clutter and to actually clean.

--SLEEP!!!! We are finally getting some sleep around here! Yay! Once we weaned Luke off the bottle, he's been doing much better at night. Still not perfect, but better. He goes to bed around 8:00, usually starts fussing and stirring around midnight or so and then he sleeps the rest of the night in our bed till about 5 or 6 am. I can't tell you the difference this makes in our sanity around here. We are all much happier people.

--Family pictures--I've scheduled us to get family pics made in about a month and I'm already stressing about it! What to wear? I hate to go out and buy us all new outfits, but I don't know if we have anything already that will coordinate. Plus, I'm wondering how Luke will do. He is Mr. Busy! He won't stand still for a second!

--Can't think of anything else right now and I must tackle the dishes before Luke wakes up. Oh, and I'm reading Cold Sassy Tree for the first time! We have book club on Thursday so I'm in a race to finish it before then. Very good so far!
