Productive day=happy me!

I love productive days. They make me feel like a better mom, wife, and person. It is nice to feel like you got tons done! Which today I successfully did. Ok, everyday I get things done, but today felt extra great. I mean there were still a few timeouts, naps, crying children and hot car rides....but for the most part a great day. We did our normal Thursday morning ritual: grocery shopping day. I love grocery day. I love thinking about all the delicious food I will be making (and eating:) over the next week. Next, home for lunch with the girls. We then went to Wal-Mart for more errands, picked up a text book for Rex and the U of O bookstore. Came home and made blackberry jam, colored with Annie and made a ton of towers out of blocks for the girls to tip over, made dinner, walked with my dad and still have hanging out with my hubby to look forward too! What a great day!

My first time making blackberry jam.....mmmm just right!

Annie has to color on the stair landing with the baby gate up so Macey doesn't get into her markers. She is nice and cozy next to Rex's school bag and all the coats. She loves it!

Macey is a huge help in the kitchen. She loves to pull out everything and get in the cupboard. As you can see, she is trying to eat the powdered sugar here. Who can resist that smile....not me!
