On Wednesday I made Chani three nightgowns. Two of which feature Dora (with fabric I bought for 50 cents a yard), and one with lovely flowers. They remind me of house dresses my grandma and Aunt Jennie used to wear. When Clint asks who is on her jammies, she will say, "Dora and Boot. But no Swiper." I trimmed her hair into a bob last week and I cannot get enough of it, I love it!
On Thursday we cleaned the kids' rooms. They really needed it. It took a lot of sorting and sweeping and dejunking. Yay!
Friday I cleaned the car. I took everything out of it, wiped everything down with 409, vacuumed every surface, washed the floor mats, and cleaned all the windows. It took me 3 hours. But, it looks awesome. Emery says that we did it for Aunt Desiree, who will be here in two weeks. I hope she appreciates it!
Saturday we did lots of jobs, you can see Clint's photo explanation of what we did here.
Sunday was church.
Monday was laundry and grocery shopping in addition to a mile of running and a bit of blackberry picking.
Today I helped my nesting friend work on the nursery. I had the bug once I got home (the de-junking bug, not the nesting bug) so I cleaned out the dresser. It looks so much better.
I hope I can keep the projects going. I miss keeping up with people on facebook, but I am so glad that I am no longer a slave to it.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
It was John's (Clint's dad) birthday this week. The kids wanted to sing to him. We go to bed early around here and so I took a video of the kids singing (cuter than over the phone anyways) and posted it for him to see. We sure love our Grandpa.
Leaving Facebook
Last Thursday morning, Clint was on facebook before work. Our sister-in-law, Desiree started chatting with Clint. Clint knew right away that it probably wasn't her, and when she started asking for $1500 because she had been mugged in Europe, he knew for sure. She and Jason (Clint's brother) are coming to visit in 3 weeks (YAY!!). After discussing it with Clint, we think it's best to leave facebook. We're pretty tight with our privacy, but facebook keeps loosening privacy controls. In addition, whoever hacked Desiree's account now has all our information because she is a friend.
In addition to the privacy issues, I could waste the entire day on facebook. I could neglect my kids and let them watch endless hours of movies while I look at everyone's pictures and reply to status updates. I need some more organization in my life and facebook makes it easy to stay disorganized.
I think that my blog will be more updated as well. Wish me luck!
