Small Sucesses

Here are this weeks small successes.
1) I'm doing awesome with the 40 bags in 40 days Lenten challenge. I was able to get a lot of rooms organized and get rid of stuff we no longer needed:)

2) I gave the boys buzz cuts. This was the first time I ever tried cutting their hair. They don't look too bad:) I also trimmed up Cutie Pie's hair. It looks a lot better. Cutie Pie wants a bobbed haircuts like the girls in her CCD class. She will have to go to the beautician for that. I will miss doing all the different hairstyles on her. But, it is her hair. And she's old enough to make some decisions on her own.

3) I also got some grass seed planted. Hurry up spring!

This Week's Small Sucesses

1) I cleaned out the fish and turtle tanks. I was not looking forward to it. But, it got done.

2) We are doing an entire Rosary every night before bed. Big Dog loves sitting in my lap while I pray:)

3) I got more crafts etc done on my pope blog. I'd like to think I have a good list of ways to celebrate Pope John Paul II's beautification.

Here are this weeks successes.....

1) I got the boys to the pool a couple of times this week.

2) We started adding the fourth decade to the rosary at night. Last night GH handed out rosaries to everyone. It was really cute:)  I think adding a decade each week was a good idea. Cutie Pie is adjusting fairly well. But, the other night I heard a huge sigh of relief when I started praying the Hail Holy Queen:D Poor child. At least I'm not expecting her to say it on her own.

3) I finally got all of the stuff I needed to get Cutie Pie's new camera working. She wants her photos to go on her blog. Unfortunately I have to start her a new blog. The old account had more than one blog and its storage is full. Which is impossible because one day it had 30% of the memory used. Then all of a sudden they needed money to give me any more storage.

This week I got a few small things done. But Danielle says small stuff counts.

1. Last night we added another decade to our rosary with the kiddos at night. They are doing pretty well considering their ages. They are a little restless. But mostly they just sit and listen. Big Dog has taken to the rosary better than the other kiddos. He happily grabs his rosary and jumps on his bed and waits for me to begin. I love that boy:) He's gonna be my prayer warrior.
2. I installed a new shower head to our shower. Big Dog was the first one to notice it. He's so observant.
3. I also did a lot of JPII crafts with my kiddos. And added them to my original celebration post on my pope blog.

1. I started saying a decade of the Rosary with the kiddos every night after our bedtime prayer. I plan on adding a decade each week until we can do a full Rosary each night. Big Dog had been falling asleep before we finished so I figured he wasn't getting anything out of it until I saw him grab a Rosary and recite an entire Hail Mary prayer. I was so proud of him:)

2. I have walked two miles everyday . That's not really the sucess. The sucess is that instead of listening to Britney Spears (I wish I was joking) while I do my walk, I have been praying the Rosary.

3. I took down all of our Saint Valentines Day decorations. And I hosted pre pre school this week.

Stuff I got done this week

1. I moved the kiddos rooms around. These pictures aren't the best but you get the idea:D Cutie Pie loves her new room.

2. I'm using some new recipes. My family has enjoyed trying things they haven't had before.

3. I remained calm when we got our electric bill. I admit this is something that shouldn't be on the list. But, it required a lot of self control on my part. So I'm getting some credit for it;D

Small Sucesses

1. I finally got around to starting my daughters hairstyle photo album. I'm hoping it will make it easier for her to pick out a hairstyle in the mornings. Here's hoping:D

2. I got enough candy canes for the 2011 Christmas Candy Cane Hunt. Yeah  for me! I'm thinking ahead and saving some money. I got them for 10 cents a box at the the dollar store. The candy canes  have been taken out of the boxes and put into the deep freeze for storage.

3. I did a bunch of updates on my pope blog. Which made me really happy.
