Data entry and spring cleaning

Today, while Abby slept I worked on some data entry.

Did I tell you that I am on a subcommittee for the PTO?
Well, for that committee I am on another subcommittee, awesome sauce.

For the second subcommittee we are working on a study topic trying to find out about communication among other things between schools and parents.

We were expecting to get maybe a couple hundred responses and were thrilled to get close to 900.

Such a great number!

We have a couple hundred paper copies of the survey that need to be entered so we can tally results and whatnot.

So that has been my mission, get my portion of the written surveys entered.

You know what I've discovered?
I really enjoy data entry.

Yep, that's right.


This morning around 11 o'clock I got a call from Adison's school, she puked.
I was worried about her, my poor baby.
But then, I get there, she's laying down on the cot/bed thing and she says, Mommy, I feel fine.
Oh, okay.
 We are 99% sure it was from her donuts, sugar overload.
Now she's home for two days, score!
We of course had to stop by Sonic to pick up a Sprite for her and treat her sisters to Sprites too.

Abby has been galloping around the house singing
Bate bate, chocolate

She's a big Dora fan.

Spring Cleaning.

The kids DE-MOL-ISH-ED the house on Saturday.
I had been putting off doing a big cleaning but K took one look at it and declared it time.
For a while the house was even messier but then, at long last, it was clean.
Less than 24 hours later it was trashed again.
But at least it was a clean trashed???

Ainsley starts ballet tonight.
She is beyond excited and told me earlier that she wanted to go right then and wait outside there until is started.
Too bad it was like 5 hours before then.

I minimized the toys and clutter.
I was seriously feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff in our house.

We celebrated my Dad's birthday this weekend.
It was a lot of fun, good food, wonderful company.
Such a nice celebration!

How was your day/weekend? 

Where has this been for all of my years as a mother????

I just want to start off by saying that I am not getting paid to write this and LeapFrog has no idea who I even am.

This darling little puppy, Violet may have just made Abby the happiest 13 month old EVER!

Something that makes my little pumpkin pie this happy HAS to be shared!

I wish wish wish that I had taken some pictures of her, but alas my "Mother of the Year Award" for NEVER-HAVING-HER-CAMERA-ON-HAND has got to me in the mail because yet again, I didn't get any pictures.

So, Abby got this little gem from her Papa aka my Dad.

She is really into cuddling and snuggling stuffed animals and dolls.

So Violet + Abby = Made 4 Each Other!

The really neat thing about sweet Violet is that you can plug her into your computer and personalize her for YOUR little munchkin.

K did this last night.

Violet now says:

Abby's name

Her favorite animal

Her favorite color

You can even pick the little songs that it sings!

The purple paw plays silly little "games."

The green paw plays awake, fun music.

(Including a cute little song spelling Abby's name!)

The blue paw is for sleeping music.

You can personalize this people!

When Violet first said Abby's name Abby looked shocked!

She then got the biggest smile on her face Violet quickly became her bff.

They just need the necklaces to make it official.

Abby rocked and danced and boogied!

This really is a darling present.

They even  have it in green if the purple is not your style.
