journaling: The things I find myself saying over and over are those “don’t do such and such” phrases. I feel like a broken record when I have to say “don’t jump on the couch” and “get off of Daddy’s exercise machine” usually with “so that you won’t hurt yourself” as an addendum. I KNOW the kids know not to do these things, but yet they keep on repeating them.... I wish I knew why.

Well, that wraps up the mom's advice album. I've got everything printed, now I need to get everything cut out and put together. It was a really fun project. Meredith is doing an ABC album project of some sort next, not sure if I will do that one since I just did the one for Brenna's birthday. Tania and I are thinking about the project to come after that already, but I'm not giving any hints ;)

I'm headed to bed, I think I have a cold coming on. My nose has been itching constantly all day and driving me nuts. I was hoping to get to finishing up the tutorial for the RAKs newsletter, but it didn't happen this afternoon. I did get quite a few things done though- lots of little checkmarks next to things on my to-do list were added. Tomorrow it definately gets done before anything else because the deadline is looming the day after and Correen's going to start cracking her whip!

Oh, and Mark found 2 of the unmatched socks out in the backyard a few minutes ago. now that is one place I would not have looked for them. And coincidentally they are the ones Carissa is wearing in the pic on the Mom's Advice page- I wonder how long they have been out there.... I guess they sort of match in a way- one is purple and the other is white with purple trim on the top edge ;)
