Here’s my pictures and details, if I were to post for today’s mission on the site:

I received in the mail today….

• The Oliver’s rockin’ birth announcement for Baby Peter
• The Magic House wants us to renew our membership (which we were given in the first place)
• The Missouri Conservationist magazine
• An EOB from Blue Cross – what a waste of paper

Practical Ways to Help Three Year Old Children at Home – Daily Montessori: I need the MOST encouragement currently with Henry my 2 1/2 year old.  This list was a good reminder for me where Henry is at right now.  He’s not the baby and he’s not the big kid – so I think I get a little lost with him.  Plus, I’m a Montessori kid myself and appreciate their  philosophy.

The Go To Bag – The Creative Mama: This post motivated me to clean my car and stock with some essentials – which I never have on me.  I NEVER have things I need when I need them.  I have a hard enough time getting the kids into the car, forget remembering stuff we may need.  I’m always asking for stuff.  One time I was at the zoo when JJ was 2 years old, possibly the hottest day of the year, and forgot sunscreen.  It wasn’t until I was trapped in the River’s Edge (you know what I mean), and realized that my fair skinned babe was going to fry.   I borrowed some from a stranger, who was 10 years younger than me, but had more common sense than I.

Sweet Love Affair Part 2 – amoroloy: This is what John and I wanted to do for OUR wedding – a carnival theme with Ferris wheel and all.  It was $10K outside of our budget that we were paying for ourselves.  But we had big plans, alot of which were included in the above post.  Except for the fish game – so great.  And the turquoise bridesmaid dresses – I wouldn’t have done that to you sisters.  After finally deciding that we couldn’t afford the carny wedding, we did vow to do it for our 25th anniversary…can’t wait!
