Finally settling down....

Elisabeth's soccer team :)
I think Elisabeth was trying to avoid the candles burning on her or Todd blowing on her!
Isabella enjoying her drink and cake on the sidewalk. Who knows why she is sitting like this?!

Last night's soccer game was a HUGE success!!! Elisabeth wanted to score her first goal in honor of Todd's birthday and SHE DID!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! We also surprised Todd with a birthday cake....all the girls from the team sang to him :) He was quite happy!!


Today was the first morning, since school started, that I feel like we might be getting into a routine. I got up before 7 and was dressed and ready and downstairs with Elisabeth (who packs her own lunch and gets her own breakfast) before 7:20. Todd got Isabella up and dressed and while Elisabeth ate breakfast, I did Bella's hair. Then we walked Elisabeth to the bus and had time to eat our own breakfast before taking off to Bonnie's at 8 am. Not bad!!! Now..the beds didn't get made and the rooms were a bit of a mess but I wasn't stressed or sweating by the time I got in the car!! :) We were all asleep by 9:30 pm last night-that might have helped a bit, too!

  1. Loved the photos! I'm not encouraged though, thinking that it will be when our daughter is in junior high before we will be organized-help! LOL.
