I had plans to get a few more things done on my list last night once the kids were in bed.  Erik went to see King Kong with some guys from our old church and the house would be fairly quiet.  I put J(20mo) in bed a tad early because she was very tired and then set the kids up with a  jig saw puzzle at the kitchen table.  I stood in my room sorting through “stuff” before Erik left.  He tells me I need to just slow down and go help the kids with the puzzle.  We were up till after 11pm working on that silly puzzle lol.  We finished it though.  We had a good time and even A(3) managed to put a few pieces together.

Hoping to make a bigger dent in this list over the weekend.  I really want next week to be “easy”.
