Family ...

We are having the most wonderful time with my mom! She is just GREAT!!! Not only does she come into town and take Ashleigh and I shopping (which we LOVE) but she also helps me with the boys :-) This is by far the most productive trip she's ever made - at least for me :-)

As most of you know I am an extremely anal person and since the birth of Baby 3 I haven't had the time to do the stuff I really like to do - like alphabetize my can goods, rearrange my pantry, label anything and everything I can, etc. I also have a habit of creating projects for myself that I can not complete ... I have a huge stack of magazines that have ideas on things for me to do that I want to put in sheet protector and keep in a minder for later ... I want to take all of my recipes that I use all the time and type them out on the computer so I can keep them in a little book in the cupboard ... I want to complete all of the kids baby calendars with pictures for each month they were born ... I want to sort through my tupperware cabinet ... I want to reorganize the kids room and take out clothes that don't fit ... I want to reorganize the basement ... I want to make a listing of all the books I have and the ones I want to keep an eye out for at the Used Bookstore ... I WANT ... I WANT ... I DID ... THANKS TO MY MOM I DID ALL OF THIS AND MORE THIS WEEKEND AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! I just love being organized - it completes me :-)
Not only did we get this done but we got the kids all cleaned up and took some much needed new pictures of our children ... plus a few with Grandma Jayne ... and some pictures of Ashleigh and some of Ashleigh and Dad :-)

My mom leaves Tuesday and we will miss her lots but Travis' is mom is right behind her (coming in on Friday) so we won't be without company for long ... plus my mom is coming back in Oct, Nov and for almost 2 weeks in December ... now she just needs to move here :-)
