Jr2 has gone to a couple of short days at preschool. Tomorrow is his first without Mommy. It is a still a shorter day, so I think we will all be fine. Jr3 will probably have the most problems with it. I think she would probably rather be with him instead of Mommy (definitely more fun that way).
I also completed the second coat of chalkboard paint on the boards tonight. Since it was mostly dark, hopefully it looks better than it did before. Jr3 already tried to color on them. One of them will be hung on the wall with the most art work on it (the hallway wall). The other one will either be put on a kitchen wall or on the other hallway wall. Probably the other hallway wall.
Monday was gorgeous and I even pulled a black garbage bag full of weeds. Then it got hot again. Maybe sometime this weekend.
When grocery shopping, I have started pulling a page from the past. We first go select two or three bananas. The kids push the little carts. We pay for the bananas. Then, we put the little carts back and they sit in the big cart while they eat their bananas. I hurriedly shop while the eat the bananas and forget they are actually in the cart. I got this idea from my mother's story about me eating bananas the at the grocery store that the store manager would give me. I think he was on to something.
Jr2 currently (still) has a major thing for cords. He has three straps he detached from bags and two yoga straps that he has hooked together into a long chain. He likes to put in on me (so he doesn't loose me) or Jr3 (because she runs away), but the climbing section of the park, the sign at the park, anything he can wrap it around, they all work. It even went to preschool the first day (attached to me).
Jr3 still likes changing her own diaper. I'm getting very good at following my nose to find anything that might not have made it in to me along with the diaper. She also loves drawing (almost as good as me) on walls, sidewalks, floors, and occasionally on paper.
Sr has been getting quite a lot of his history homework done.
I have been working on accomplishing my four goals for the month.
1. Up and dressed before 9 (just me, not the kids). If not, then exercise for 15 minutes. This is also part of the cause of some yardwork getting done.
2. Drink 5+ cups of water a day.
3. Read my scriptures daily (one plus verses).
4. Read to the children daily. One book or for five minutes. This has been my favorite. It's a hit all around.
I think next month one of my goals might be no chocolate after 8 p.m.

Thanks for the update! I was afraid you'd fallen off the face of the earth.
I appreciate the update, especially after meeting your two together, I appreciate the fact that you were able to do an update. Go LOO!
Yay! Way to go Jr2! And way to go Loo! It sounds like you are getting a lot done (extra props for your toucan skills of 'following your nose'!).
