+ catching up on my boy's photo albums and my scrapbook. Almost there.
+ babysitting a few neighbor kids for 3 days while their parents are in Hawaii.
+ cleaning out and organizing my closet.
+ planting more plants and trees in my yard.
+ telling Owen that lipstick, mascara and red peep toe heels on a boy is a no in our house.
+ trying to keep all keys away from Chase as he has realized that any skinny metal object shoved into the keyhole and twisted will open Scott's office door.
+ finished reading The Help. Very much enjoyed it. Have started re-reading The Book Thief for my book club. Love this book!
+ sat through a few soccer games for Taylor and Owen.
+ had a discussion with one of the boys on the merits of showering regularly oh and another discussion with another boy about washing hands after using the bathroom oh and another discussion about changing your underwear daily. All very good ideas.
+ deciding that one of Owen's friends is only bringing out the naughty in him. May not encourage playdates with this one in the future.
+ repeatedly saying to a couple of the boys that a healthy breakfast does not include a cookie.
+ Still looking for that card reader. I'm thinking it is a goner.

I wish there was a way to have recorded your councel so I could play the same thing over to my kids.
Much of this counsel is needed over here. I'm so glad school is back in. Whew!
Such a great mom you are! Love how you work the "bucket fillers" in with the "bucket drainers."
Oh the joys of being a mom! I also loved The Help. A great read!
I was cracking up about Owen's shoes, but the rest sounds familiar--except girlier over here. Loved your post (and I am going to pick up that book. Been looking for a new read)
Hoping Jack isn't the naughty-bringer-outer . . .
