Bianca looking cute and "helping" me get ready for my Norwex party on Sunday.

Awwww, aren't they cute?

All my Norwex goodies!  Love it!

1. Kids cleaning set: dusting mitt, envirocloth, window cloth

2. My stash of envirocloths

3. Laundry Detergent (love this stuff, this bag will last me 500 loads!)

4. Rubber Brush (to clean the dog hair out of the stairs and to clean my mops)

5. Mattress Cleaner (to rid the mattresses and pillows of allergens and dustmites)

6. Descaler (the environmentally friendly version of CLR)

7. Dish Soap (I love this stuff, gets my wine glasses shiny and clean)

8. Spirosponge (for cleaning tough on grease!)

9. Sprinettes (like brillo pads but better)

10. Kitchen Cloth Set (to replace my stinky dish rags, love these!)

11. Window Cloths (combined with my envirocloths, these babies get my windows cleaned in no time flat!)

12. Dryer Balls (eliminates the need for nasty dryer sheets)

13. Wet and dry mop (love this, best invention ever!)

14. Dusting Mitts (so great for quick dusting)

15. Bathroom Scrub Mitt

16. Car Cloth (for Brian)

17. Dish Cloth

OOH, I noticed I missed the body pack, on the lower left hand side.  This stuff rocks.  My face has never been better using just these and water.  I am a walking testimonial!

All the door prizes for my party on Sunday!  Looks like some great stuff!

OK, sharing time is over!

Bennett helping out with the chores using his kids dusting mitt from Norwex! Love that the kids can help and I don't have to worry about them getting chemicals in their eyes, or inhaling them!

I picked up a few things for the kiddos for Arizona today and of course Annika had to try her new dress and flip flops on. Doesn't it make you dream of summer? And isn't she cute?

And here is my new baby. I've been wanting to upgrade for about a year now and I finally took the gigantic plunge! So far, I love it! It's much faster, but that's because I haven't filled it to the brim yet!

Today after school, 2/3 of my kids chose more educational activities to participate in.

Bennett chose a game.

 

Annika chose books.  I also need to mention that this little Kindergartner is a reading machine.  She is taking such pride in her reading skills, it's just amazing to me.  She just loves to read too, which is a bonus!

 

And then there is Bianca.  She chose the iPad.  At least she chose a book to read on there, right?

Today Annika and I were chilling in the kitchen and she was clearly bored. I asked if she wanted to scrapbook. She then asked me what that meant and I said, basically you get to put stickers, ribbons, buttons and pictures on paper to make a nice page for a photo album. I had her at stickers :) So I pulled out a few pictures I had printed from her pajama day last week and she went to town. Then Bianca came in from outside and wanted to get in on the action. And of course when Bennett woke up from his nap he wanted to do it too! We were scrappin' fools this afternoon and I have 3 wonderfully handmade pages for my Project Life album. I am thinking I'm going to have the kids do this much more often so that I can have them for the album. I know I will cherish them in the future!

 

Annika's finished page.  She did a great job!  She's very proud of it!

No picture today, I was in the doctor this morning with a fever of 102.7.  I was diagnosed with strep throat and a sinus infection.  Nasty combination.  I literally felt like dying.  It was terrible.  The body aches were the worst part too.  It hurt to sit, stand, lay, just be!  What's worse is my throat was so swollen that I couldn't take any advil.  The nurse made me take children's Advil at the clinic to combat my fever.  Good times!  I left there with some children's amox. and some Nyquil to sedate myself.  I proceeded to sleep all day and all night.  Horrible, horrible sickness!
