I'm all up to date on their baby books/journals etc. It felt good to get that out of the way. Hopefully they'll enjoy looking back at all this, it's a lot of work to keep up with, and I'm anal about it... lots of great ideas... even started a school binder to keep all Jessica's school stuff neat and organized. I'm glad so far I've been able to keep up with all of it ever since Jess was born, because going back later on would be a pain in the ass.

One day before I die, I'm going to go through the boxes and boxes of pictures and albums and albums... and organize them all. I've been saying that for years. My kids will look at the people and say "Who the hell are they?" and just throw the pictures out. And I have some of those kinda pics too, maybe I will just throw them out too? Nobody is alive that can tell me who they are.

What a day. I cleaned the carpets... but that wasn't accomplishment enough for me. I tackled the storage room, and it looks great. Silly me lifted a very heavy box of paper from the floor to on top of the tall dresser... and now my back and neck hurts, ugh! Too bad my garage doesn't look as great anymore. But I swear I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff in the spring. I even threw away about 6 garbage bags of stuff. I was able to part with lots of stuff. Then I cleaned the rest of the basement. How long will it stay clean???? Until the next time my little tornadoes come downstairs... I'll just admire it tonight, ahhaha.

I was going to finish wrapping gifts tonight, but I have to watch the season finale of Dexter, so there's no time. Jon's eye tooth is coming down... OUCH... How much screaming and crying can two parents handle? Obviously a lot because he's still alive, but it does wear you down. One good thing is this tooth will be completely in by Christmas so he might be in a good mood??? Hahaha!
