Whew what a monday

I know I haven't posted in awhile. I have been trying to get things all done and ready before Mark comes home. This sunday marked week number 7 of him being on this job in Colorado. I think this is the longest he has ever been on a job without us and it has been very difficult. It looks like he will be coming home this week (praise God!) hopefully on Wed or Thurs. I have been redecorating my room and wanted to get is all done before he got home. I repainted it a beautiful blue, got a new dresser, some new pictures, a mirror, and still looking for a new nightstand. I got all these things for my birthday.. how blessed am I? I am also been working on a surprise for Mark which I can't reveal b/c he does read this so I am just trying to finish all these things up today. Yesterday I also started keeping some more kiddos. I had all 3 girls on my first day Bailey 5, Katie 2, Lacey 6 mo. It was a house full of us girls and Mabrie and Allie got along great with them. I will have Lacey mon-fri and Bailey and Katie on Fridays since they go to preschool mon-thurs. Needless to say I am exhausted, and need my helper and best friend home! Mabrie also started swim lessons yesterday and did great! I wasn't sure how she would do since she does not like water in her eyes or to lean back in the water. She has been talking about how fun it was and is ready to go back. She will be in those mon and wed for the month of may. Anyway this ended up being a little long... just wanted you to know what has been going on at our house. When I am all done with my room I will post a picture of it. Have a great day :)
