lists and looking back

i love to make lists

i don't always accomplish

everything on them

but just getting the

swirling thoughts out of

my head helps!

so in preparation

for our upcoming road trip

{25 hours cross country...another blog post}

i actually have a notebook

of to do lists!

and those to do lists were

broken down into days...

and so far so good!

in fact i am a little ahead

but somehow,

i know that the night before we leave

i'll still be jumping through my arse

to get it all together!

old habits die hard!

in other news...our weekend...

well, back up to last thursday

the kids had kajukembo

and the big girl has been

working so hard

on her forms

and she decided she wanted to

show her instructor her kata

thinking he might give her a few

things to work on...

but instead, she earned

a stripe on her belt!

she was beside herself

and i was so proud

i nearly cried!

way to go girl!

saturday...

mason graduated from preschool!

is he handsome or what?

we let him pick a lunch spot

and we took them to see UP!

{awesome movie!}

at lunch, he wanted to show me

a trick with milk in his mouth...

ugh...

so he fills his mouth with milk,

and opens it to tell me to look...

and milk cascades down the front of him!

poor planning buddy, maybe next time!

sunday...

we took the kids to their

first MLBaseball game...

and due to persistent

camera battery problems,

we didn't get but one pic

on the camera!

i took some on my phone

i will try to upload later...

the kids had a good time

although they both let us

know that they didn't really watch

note to self...leave them at home

next time and we can make it a date!

so the rest of my week is

planning and packing!

yeehaw!
