calling all tips!!

I am in desperate need of some tips from those of you whose house is clean. Tell me how do you do it?? I have piles of laundry, piles of trash, piles of junk, clutter, dishes, and whatever else you can think of. How do you find the time to do it all with kids and do the scrubbing? Help, Help, Help!! I know having a newborn adds to the mix, but seriously I feel like I am losing the battle. Is there a routine involved? If so, what is your routine? I think I just need to get up at 5am and stay up till 12 am to get things done.

A few updates

Oh, what a busy week. I have been trying to clean, while having a cold and a newborn, buying presents with a newborn, and taking JW to the doctor. Good news though, he still has his heart murmur, but it's really faint. They want to see him when he is 3. YAY!!! I was so worried they would say he needs surgery or something. I have lost 6 lbs, YAY!! I have been eating better, but still have 12 to go till my pre pregnancy weight. I want to exercise, but I had a cold that made me have a cough. I will get there. Paige is too funny. She has yet another loose tooth. She has been trying EVERYTHING to get it out. She keep running up and asking me to feel how loose it is. She said to me after I said it wasn't ready, "OK I'll go bang it on my bed some more!" LOL what am I going to do with her?

Paige is turning 6!!

You know you are getting old when your kids get older. I can not believe Paige is going to be 6 on Sat. We don't have money to get pictures done so I did make-shift one's. ENJOY!!

Smiles and Grins

OK I just am so happy I have a smiley boy. He has smiled uncontrollably since birth, but he now smiles all the time on his own. He even has a cute little throaty laugh. I LOVE it!! He is starting to raise his head now and motion for us to blow raspberries by sticking his tongue out. I think he laughs the most at John, but who wouldn't ;) I love my family and am glad they are mine and are there to make me smile :)

Happy Birthday Elizabeth

We went to jumping jacks this weekend for Lizzy's 2nd b-day. My kids had a Blast!! There were some annoying teenagers as always knocking down little ones, but other than that it was fun. Lizzy arrived and the party begun. Pizza, cake, and jumping. How could you go wrong? Thanks Sissy for the fun time! (and workout for me ;)
