Today's project

This will make my mom happy.
Today I organized part of the pantry. I hadn't cleaned or organized it since we moved in 5 years ago, but I though I'd go ahead and do it whether it needed it or not.

I am VERY space challenged with this pantry, so I'm going to confine my purchases to just what will fit in my bins.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the top half done. Stay tuned.

Wednesday update

Here's a random picture of Parker hanging out in the office with me one day when I was working. This was a great day....I got a ton of work done, and Parker amused herself all afternoon with coloring and computer, etc. Normally, this is all I hear:

"Can we call Sarah over?"
"Can we call Sarah over?"

"Can we call Sarah over?"
"Can we call Sarah over?"

"Can we call Sarah over?"
"Can we call Sarah over?"

Sarah is a constant fixture at our house this summer.

A funny conversation yesterday:

Parker: "Mom, did I have my vitamin today already?"

Sarah: "I don't take vitamins anymore. We used to, but we don't have to anymore."

Parker: "I used to take Hannah Montana vitamins, but now I take Flintstones because they have vitamin D, and the doctor said I need to take the kind with vitamin D."

I guess she remembers all the vitamin D talk from her doctor's appointment/well check back on July 1.

Her 5 year well visit went just fine.
Her stats:
Height: 40 3/4" (10-25th percentile)
Weight: 34 lbs (20th percentile)
Vision: 20/25 in both eyes.
I can't find last year's report, so I'm not sure how much she's grown, but most of last year's clothes are too small, so she's getting taller at least. She seems pretty petite when compared to other kids her age.

We went to the dentist today too, and she got a good report. Apparently she's very sweet and cooperative there. At our last visit when they did xrays, he estimated that it would be a couple years before she starts losing teeth, and that's fine with me.

I"m nearly done with my July project, and Parker is done with 'summer school', so we're filling the days the best we can. So far we've been running errands in the morning and then playing with friends in the afternoon. We are enjoying the cooler weather and the rain, but I'm ready to have the option of burning the afternoon hours at the pool back.

7 more hours until bedtime......
