Things We've FINALLY Gotten Done!

1. Shrubs. We've bought all of the new bushes for the front of the house. That might sound boring to some people, but really, how often to you get a chance to design all of your own landscaping. Usually you just inherit whatever came with your house. This was fun! The best part, two weeping Japanese maples (on sale!).

2. PTA. I'm caught up on newsletters, calendars, membership duties and correspondence. Yahoo! Our elementary school finally got 100% membership, with only a month to spare! Just one more issue to get out and I'll be done for the year.

3. Soccer Party. 10 wild boys + 200 water balloons + 1 swimming pool + 80 hotdogs + cake + 1 sunny day = a great soccer party.

4. Invitations. My brothers, their wives, Brad and I are helping to throw a 40th Anniversary party for my parents in June. Everyone has been working hard at the preparations, but I've kinda been slacking. But Shutterfly is printing up the invites as we speak.

5. Laundry. Wohoo - It's only Monday and I'm done with the laundry from last week. It's a small victory, but one I'll be proud of!

6. VBS Gear. At the bookstore, I stock up on VBS themed goodies to sell during VBS registration. Well, Oriental Trading came through with flying colors this year by offering tons of Power Lab science toys. Need a bouncy ball that lights up? Gooey slime? And later this week... VBS t-shirts arrive! Hopefully this will stir up some business.
