Small Victories

I am giddy with excitement, because I just balanced the checkbook! I love payday. Well, I love it until I pay all the bills and then realize its 2 more weeks till we have money. That's not true. It just feels like it sometimes. Today was exciting because we're getting the credit card bill down. We never let it get this high, but with all the traveling we've done for the holidays and other stuff, it was bad. Now we've got it about gone, AND there's still money in the account! Whoopee for the Budget-Master! That's me, by the way.

The kids are cracking me up this week. Joshua got a joke book for Christmas and has been reading it. So he comes out of the blue with these jokes that he doesn't really understand and he "heh-heh-heh" laughs at them. That's the funny part.

Marian has been a pill, teasing and scratching Callie a lot. Marian has a great time and grins like the Cheshire Cat when she's being rotten.

Callie was looking so cute- I'd even managed to get her pony tails even, but she would not let me take a nice picture of her. She wanted to be silly, and she was.

Delaney thinks it is a hoot to put things over her head. Then she crawls around, looking for me or Dan to show us what she's done. It is very cute.




Well, I'm waiting for Delaney to get a bit of a nap in, then I have to wake her up and go to the school to take Joshua his lunch. I forgot to get it in his backpack. I had not planned to leave the house today, so I have to wrangle Marian into long pants and see if I have any clean jeans!

Congrats on your budgeting! It is so nice when you can see you are making headway.

I loved the pics of the kids! They are too cute. I truly miss my kids being small and innocent.

You are doing an awesome job of raising Heavenly Father's spirit children who have been entrusted to you. Keep up the good work!
