Love me a Monday!

I love Mondays! I know I'm not the only one, Ashley loves Mondays too and for allllll the same reasons. I've been thinking of my post for today since yesterday and then this morning when I was reading my Twitter feed, I of course see Ashley loving on her Monday as well....its fate dear friend, I miss you!! It's the start of a brand spankin' new week. I like new. New possibilities, a new menu, new sheets on the bed. Monday is my major chore day. Here's a list of the things that I do every SINGLE Monday, no matter what:

• First thing's first: HIT THE GROCERY STORE
• Change every one's sheets
• Empty all the bathroom trash cans
• Wipe down all the mirrors and glass doors
• Wash all the bathroom, kitchen, and entryway rugs
• Sweep the house
• Mop the floors
• Vacuum the bedrooms

This little list makes the house feel AMAZINGLY refreshed and sets the whole tone for my week.
Monday's mean I am one week closer to hopefully getting pregnant with our final baby. Monday's are also EXHAUSTING, but so rewarding. Love Mondays.

For dinner tonight in case you care, or need an idea, we are having spaghetti with Italian sausage, a homemade loaf of french bread and Mexican Praline Bluebell for dessert! I can't wait to dig in :)

In other news: Wylee is such the little mother. If this is any indication as to what kind of mom she will be, then I'm in for it! SHE MAKES ME DO EVERYTHING! I'm going to be one BUSY grandma if she doesn't change her ways.

She makes me:

• Feed baby
• "Buckle" (that means cover her with a blanket) baby
• Wrap baby (swaddle...and you better not buckle when she says wrap or you get YELLED at)
• Cradle baby while she goes pee
• Feed baby some more
• Cradle baby while she plays with other toys
• Punish baby for going pee pee in the car (?? I have no clue)
• Change baby's diaper

The list goes on. I'm just kidding though, its so sweet to watch her play with her doll. She truly loves that little baby doll and hopefully she'll stay that way for a long, long time. The other day she kept putting baby in a basket and putting a blanket over the top, she told me she was taking baby to maw-mart. Then she gets the baby out of the basket and puts her in a stroller and pushes her around "maw-mart" for a while...randomly snapping at her for different reasons. Interesting, wonder why? Maybe baby is running through "maw-mart" and won't stay by the cart like she was asked to do...or maybe baby is screaming and fighting with her big brother in the middle of maw-mart making everyone stop and stare. Or maybe baby can't keep up with mommy because she insists on stopping and looking/touching EVERYTHING that she sees. OR MAYBE baby is standing in the middle of the isle with her arms folded across her chest refusing to move. Just an idea. :)

And since I haven't posted pictures of the kids in a while, here is one of Jared fishing with daddy a few months ago, our big walking Russell machine! And of course sweet Wylee taking care of baby. Enjoy your Monday's friends!! The new possibilities are endless :)

 This is how Wylee left baby when it was time for her nap....baby had to take a nap too, of course.
