Ready!

Here is a picture of the "Mini-Muffin Tin Advent Calendar" that I have been working on all week. I made it for the display table for this year's Super Saturday! The calendar is made using a mini-muffin tin, the candy for each day goes in the muffin hole! It is great because the decorations are magnetic and you just take them off during the year and you have a muffin tin!


(These pictures aren't the greatest quality- the sign at the top says "Christmas Countdown")

I have had a lot of enrichment stuff to get done before the baby comes, but now that this last project is done, I think (I hope) that enrichment is under control for the time being! So with that out of the way, freezer meals ready, crotchsicles awaiting, a super clean house and Caden feeling better, this baby is now welcome any time :)

Thank You!!!!!

Yesterday Caden woke up sick. He had been up lots in the night and pretty much screamed all day. He is getting his two year old molars and seems to be having a really rough time with it! I want to say a HUGE thank you to Dad who brought me kids tylenol and watched Caden so that I could shower... all before 9am! You are wonderful, Daddy!!
Also, last night for Family Home Evening, Dad, Mom and Rebecca came over and cleaned my house from top to bottom!! My floors are washed and vacuumed, bathrooms scrubbed, cupboards cleaned, windows and mirrors washed- EVERYTHING is clean!! It was such a great feeling to wake up this morning to such a clean house and it will feel even better bringing a newborn home to it! This morning Caden said "Ma-ma" then pretended to scrub the floors, then said "Pa-pa" and "Ka-ka (Becca) and pretended to wash the walls! Thanks for your example of service!!

I am SO grateful for family. Thank you for serving me. I love you guys so much!
