Grandma came over tonight while Robert went to Quartet practice at church. We took a long walk with the kids and then let them play outside when we got back. We put Sara on a blanket and she saw a toy she wanted. She has been getting on all 4′s and rocking for awhile now, but tonight she was sort of ‘inch worming’. She would get on all 4′s and go forward, get on her belly then get on all fours and go forward again until she got where she was going. I think she’ll be crawling regularly very well within a week. I can’t believe she’s doing this already. She really wants to get up and run with the boys!
I heard about FlyLady from Sandra (my wonderful step-mom) several years ago. At that time I did the decluttering and have been ever since. Basically, every time we’d find out I was pregnant I’d go through and get rid of more stuff to ‘make room for the baby’. We have very little clutter now and it’s very nice.
Well, I’ve started trying to do her daily items and it has made a big difference. It’s keeping the house cleaner and we’re cleaning up after ourselves. I used to let the kids walk around with food (big mistake) but we’ve stopped that as well. I’ve also noticed that the kids behave better when I’m doing flylady because there is some sort of schedule to our day and they know more of what to expect.

We’ve also been using “Saving Dinner”. I get a weeks worth of recipes emailed to me. It also includes the shopping list for the week. It’s pretty reasonable for $10 for three months. It’s cheaper per month if you pay for 6 months or a year. I only do the different menus for 3 months and have been putting them in a binder to reuse. Last 3 months I subscribed to the Low Carb Menu and this time I’m subscribed to the Regular Menu.

Sara had another tooth break through a few days ago (about 3 days after the first). She’s still not sitting up but is trying to crawl STILL. She gets up on all 4′s and rocks and rocks like she’s going to rock her way there. When she figures out to put one hand in front of the other, she’s going to be on the go.
So far, no one is sick anymore. That’s a nice change. Nathaniel is still doing great without diapers. He’s not even wearing them at night and has not had a night accident (or really any accident) yet. I’m so proud of him and so happy to have one less diaper to change.
