What we did today and what a mess

Today, A would be so proud. I cleaned. Not just a little, like a mad woman. My house is fabulous now.

While I was making red velvet cake for Valentines Day, Reagan was bathing. She needed me to come in to wash her and while I was doing that Jaxon was pulling off the rest of the eggs off the cupboard. In that egg carton I had a bottle of red food coloring. When I opened the door of the bathroom, there Jaxon was with a spoon eating the read food coloring. That explains the picture for all of you that were worried. He gets into a lot of stuff. A month ago it was 18 eggs off the cupboard again and a quart of bubble bath right into the carpet. It doesn't come out.

Today, we also cleaned the fridge. I had some great helpers.

I probably should go shower now.

Brooke at her best randomness.

I really don't have much to say. I rode my bike today. The inside one not the outside as Reagan calls it. I did the Wii Biggest Loser yesterday and for only a 19 minute workout my legs are so today. Yep, that's right I am weak. I started to clean my desk but now I am obviously not cleaning. Working on planning a family reunion. Figuring out how to get Jaxon to sleep without him screaming for 45 minutes. Not peaceful. Forget the re-potty training. Trying to accomplish my list. REading the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. Very insightful. Started a craft blog. http://makinitdomestic.blogspot.com. Having craft overload in my head. Making some more bags. Wasting my time. Thinking about ordering garden seeds. Yes, there is still snow. Looking through garden magazine thinking up all the stuff to do in my yard. Think I need to go tanning to feel some warmth. Had to cook dinner yesterday. Ripped off sheetrock while I was practicing my Sheera moves. Cleaned the toilet. Contemplating getting rid of all my baby clothes and paraphenilia. Who knows. Ate my 1oz of almonds everyday...they were covered in chocolate...does that count?

There are a few off my list in no particular order. I have so much to be grateful for and so often don't express my gratitude for things or people in my life.

On another note, I have been meaning to write this and forget. When Reagan sings I am a child of god, she sings with parents kind of dear instead of kind and dear. Such a funny girl. Oh, a few days ago I made waffles for breakfast. Jaxon was putting his sleeves in the syrup trying to reach his milk and she says to him: "Dude, you are getting syrup on your sleeves". I thought I was going to die laughing. Reagan is very helpful and likes to help anyone do stuff. She helps me cook and often helps Grandma when we are over there.

Jaxon has quite a vocabulary. He says lots of words I can't understand them all though. He is a very loving, forgiving child. When Reagan does something mean to him or takes a toy from him, rarely does he fight back. He just lets her have it and moves onto something else. He loves to give hugs and says luv u. He brushes his teeth a lot and loves to get his hair combed. He is a sweet boy.
