You are one busy woman! Sounds like you had a great week, though!

Okay, I am not going to cry. I know that I will see busy weeks like this again someday. But growing a baby does count for something!! :)

Andrea said...

Valarie said...

What a week! you went down a size AND consumed quite a few klondike bars? How did you manage that and can you tell that I'm jealous on both counts?

Gabriela said...

Wow! You have been busy. Love that you had FHE 3 times. It's so great when they are little and want to do all the good stuff.

That is an amazing list. There's a part of me that wants to outdo you, and another part that says to the first part, "Shhhh... it'll pass."
