Busy day, I'm tired. I got the cleaning bug and worked on the basement. Tried finding all the pieces to all the puzzles. Now the puzzles that are complete are put up high, if she wants to do a puzzle, she can do ONE at a time. What goods a puzzle if you don't have all the pieces.

Brought all her crafts, etc. downstairs all in one central place. Put the messy stuff (paints, etc.) in one bin and markers, glue etc. in another. And one for coloring books, paper, and stickers. God knows how I will organize it once she opens all the craft stuff at xmas... that's another days worry. I even put her games up high. I used to have this stuff in her closet, but if the baby is sleeping, I can't very well go in there and get stuff out, so it made it inconvenient.

Then I worked on the books, organized them by size or if they are hard cover or soft cover. I grouped the alike ones together. It looks pretty darn good. I put the ones that need repair up, to work on another day. How long will it stay this way, not long I'm sure.

It's never ending then the baby woke up... then dinner... then straightening up the upstairs... Where did the day go? Why am I always cleaning up toys? I'm so tired of it. And I can't blame Jess 100%, she doesn't make all of the mess... it's mostly Jon, but how do you get a 16 month old to clean up?

The baby is over tired, she didn't get her last nap... but I hope she drinks something. Her last bottle was at 5pm. This could be a shitty night. Last night wasn't bad, she woke up at 5am... which is unusual... not unheard of... just unusual. We decided we want to transfer her to Jessica's room before christmas. (How can Santa bring all the gifts upstairs if there is a baby sleeping in the living room) So instead of putting her in the swing we've been laying her in the bassinet. She did fine... just woke up at 5am.... went back to bed at 6 or 630am... and Jessica woke up by 7am... and of course turned on the big light in the living room... HELLO... baby sleeping... what were you thinking? So then she woke up again. I feel like putting the baby in her room tonight, and if she wakes up at 5am oh well, how does it feel. But Jess wouldn't fall back asleep... and I'd have a crabby kid the rest of the day so what would I be proving.

I have the bright idea of taking all the kids tomorrow to have their picture taken. One group shot, and then Steph can do her 4 month pictures. I'll have them all dress up in their fancy clothes with a plain background.... and I'll make copies for everyone, shutterfly has one day left of free shipping. And with Stephanie's I want all christmas backgrounds and props since this is her first christmas... the collage will look cute on the wall.

Who will be my biggest problem child... take a guess... Jon I'm sure... that damn eye tooth... his shirts are sopping wet... I almost want to put a bib on him tomorrow after we get him dressed, so you don't see a wet shirt in the picture. I wanted to get a cute pic of him in his spider man towel today, and he wanted no part of it. I got a cute suit from a Mom 2 Mom sale, it's just missing a tie... I wonder if BBrUS has kids ties or do I need to stop at Sears beforehand. She said Sundays are crazy, but between 11 and 12 they have walk ins... she said be here at 11am. Will do! Even though I'll have to wake Steph up from her nap early... she'll live.

Lots on my mind... I'm so tired... I should really go to bed early for a change. Haven't been feeling that great the past few days....
