Little Miss Priss at 11 months old
Mischievo at 11 months oldWell, I'm not too late with the 11 month post. She was 11 months old on the 12th. She's a fast little crawler now and she's really starting to pull herself up a lot. She has eight teeth and looks like she's working on a couple more. Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother her too much.
This is going to be a catch up post also. I have lots of things to catch up on! Last weekend we went to Moses Lake to visit Nathan and Vi. We had a very nice time and Mischievo had lots of fun playing with their black lab puppy. We finally got another family picture taken while we were there, too.
And here's a picture of Nathan and Vi.
Also, Mischievo go a bad cut on his head while we were there. Here's the picture.
He was standing up on a footstool trying to catch a ball and he fell over backwards onto the brick hearth. It bled so much. I felt so terrible for him. It made me want to cry. He recovered pretty fast and didn't even cry when we washed it out. He's such a tough kid.
Also, I'm getting motivated to get organized! I was reading Anna's blog and she was talking about the FlyLady and how she can help you get organized and actually stay on top of everything. So, anyway the first step is to shine your sink. So I did that and this is how it looks.
It made me feel so good! You're supposed to keep it like that all the time so you never have to do all that work to make it shine again. You dry it out with a dish towel every time you use it so water spots don't build up. And you're not supposed to let your dishes sit in there and air dry. I do that all that time! For the last three days I've kept it shiny. We'll see if I can keep it up. The neat thing is it's motivated me to get the rest of my kitchen sparkly clean. It makes me feel so happy to see my shiny, clean sink when I wake up in the morning. The rest of my house should follow. We'll see! I'm probably one of the most disorganized people in the world. Organizing just overwhelms me. I've slowly been learning to do better and hopefully the Flylady will help me even more.
I've got another busy weekend ahead of me. My husband's brother Ken and his wife Amy with their two children Austin and Karissa are coming to visit on Sunday. They'll be here two nights. So, I'm looking forward to that.
I forgot to mention that I got new glasses. I don't know if anyone will notice that in the family picture or not. I've worn the same glasses for 7 years, so I figured it was time for a change.

Hi Mary-I'm finally leaving a post! Thanks for your blog- it is fun to see the pictures and hear about your life even tho I live in your same city! Keep up the good work and I pray the Lord will give you patience and wisdom in raising your little ones for Himself! Love, Val
Those glasses look really good on you! Poor Mischievo. Head wound always bleed like crazy and usually look way worse than they really are, thankfully. Sink looks tidy! I should try that too.
Poor little guy, I hope his head heals quickly for him.
Your new glasses are awesome! And you family pic is so cute!
No stitches on Mischevo?
Wow, your sink looks fantastic, way to go! I am sure struggling with the sink part since I am a midnight snacker and am afraid I would wake the kids with washing dishes at midnight, but I am getting the rest of the house under control, slowly but 15 mins here and there are really making a differrence. Instead of getting overwhelmed I am just sucking it up and tackling the chaos. Yipee to an organized life...eventually, I hope!
Ah boys :-) I'm glad Mischievo is toughing it out, just hope he doesn't bang his head again trying to show to off on the webcam!
