My Small Successes XX

It's Thursday and I'm back with some Small Successes.

1. We hosted five children of fellow homeschooling friends who needed some caregivers on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. I was a little nervous at the thought of eight children under my care (with Kansas Dad's help on Wednesday), especially since the ages were a little overwhelming (12, 6, 6, 4, 3, 2, 20 months, 10 months), but everything went wonderfully! We didn't have any injuries and I think all the kids had fun playing together. Their amazing 12 year old basically took care of the baby as she cried horribly every time I looked at her, so I didn't even have extra diapers or bottles.

2. I finally finished going through all the kids' clothes in the closet, putting everything in the appropriate boxes. I even dug through all their drawers for the winter clothes and replaced them with spring clothes. We sent three boxes out to sell or donate, too.

3. I downloaded the pictures for March from my camera to the computer. Yes, that's right, a whole month of pictures. You may have noticed the drabness of the blog recently. I have not, of course, actually gone through any of the pictures, but this is a post about small successes. I have a little work to do on those. (I also still have all the pictures I ordered for Second Daughter's baby album still waiting to be placed in the actual album. I'll finish it eventually...)
