Perfectly imperfect

Welp. . .it seems we are the latest victims of the flu. Two of my girls are sickies, but I don't think it's H1N1. They just have a little bug with sore throats and headaches and body aches. We'll see. . .I am pumping them full of herbs and vitamins and my family room looks like a hospital with all the sanitizer and clorox wipes and lysol! Everytime they cough we use sanitizer and wipe down the tables and spray lysol. Lol. Can't be too careful! My little guy is staying at my mother in law's until we know that this is over and not something more serious. They were so bummed to be missing out on Grandparent's day though. =( On the other hand, I kind of like being on the couch in our pj's watching movies and drinking hot chocolate!


I am so excited to have made this recent purchase. . .

Have you guys heard about this? It's the Elf on the Shelf, based on a book. A fun tradition that we plan to do with the kiddos this year. Here is where you can get all the details. I first found out about this from a photographer on flickr who did a hilarious photo series using the elf. Check it out!
You'll see photos of our little elf in December when he makes his big debut here. ;-)

I have been working on a planner for the year 2010 and it is nearly finished! I wanted to post some of my progress here. . .

I purchased the day by day kit from Noel Mignon, and took the class to go with it. My book is patterned after Jana Eubank's. I am so happy to have almost completed it. I always have to have a calendar to write things down and I save them all because I can't bear to throw them away when I have things like "found out we're expecting again!" and "It's a boy!" on them. This is perfect because it combines scrapbooking with my calendar.

Well back to my nurse duties. Have a fantastic weekend!
