Wow you've been busy! And I thought I had a busy day...
ReplyDeleteHmm... you've got me thinking about cavities now. My kid does not drink juice (just vegetable juice sometimes) but he does eat an awful lot of fruit. I wonder how young you can start to teach them to floss? At 2 he doesn't even want to brush his teeth half the time but I do it anyways whether he wants it or not... I just tell him "You'll thank me later. This is better then needing to go to the dentist!" :) How do you feel about fluoride? What kind of toothpaste do your kids use? We use Weleda Children's Gel. So far so good...
What a LOT of work. My hat is off to you, dear!
ReplyDeletethat was a really cool post!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun way to read your day!
ReplyDeleteWe're bad with the flossing also...
22 lbs. that's pretty good!
I still have 10 to lose! Not really an excuse any more...
that was really interesting. A moment in the life of a family of 8
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable and fun post! =) Have a good night!
ReplyDeleteWhew! You made me laugh and get tired all in the same post! I need to keep track of one of my days like that and then when I think nothing has been accomplished I will know otherwise!!
ReplyDeletereally?
ReplyDeletethat's all? my, oh my!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite, of course, is the line about the eyes.
Wow - busy! Sounds like my day only with 2 less children but include add physical therapy for Zach 4 times a day! Oh its making tired just reading what we all get up to!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family Brittany!
I love this post :) So many numbers, so many blessings! And I'm right there with ya, 26lb to loose to get to where I want to be. WE CAN DO IT :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. And how you do it is well beyond me. God is good.
ReplyDeleteAwww I love this post you did an awesome job on it! and your #1
ReplyDeleteThat was such a cute post. I was a little confused about the 9 mouths to feed though. I thought there were 8 do you have an animal?
ReplyDeleteSweet post:) Thanks for sharing your day with us:)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Brittany! What a post! Hope the girlies slept well and today is awesome!
ReplyDelete~Elyse~
Wow, and I thought I had a busy day....
ReplyDeletethat took alot of work doing that post! I have lost all my preg. weight and I still don't have any pants that fit me....things that make you go hmmm....hope YOU are well!!
ReplyDeleteoh, by the way...I am good at folding laundry if you ever need any extra help!!!
ReplyDeleteI have two girls and although I lost most of my pregnancy weight, girls seem to widen you out and do things to your body that boys never do! Good luck! Considering your condition post-accident the fact that you've still managed to lose so much weight is great! Chasing all those kids and just looking at the joys of your day will hopefully make the rest drop off!
ReplyDeleteHi I am new to your blog! I found it just a few weeks ago...

You are one busy mama!

ReplyDeleteThat was a really clever post Brittany! I enjoyed reading that, and getting a little piece of what a day in the life of a family of 8 is like! And I quote...."Oiy!"
ReplyDeleteBut it sounds like a lot of fun, all at the same time. I love big families!
What a fun post!! I just loved reading about your day like that! 22 lbs lost is awesome! It is harder to lose that prego weight with girls so I think you are doing FABULOUS!!!!
ReplyDeletePhew. Thanks for that. You've definitly done more than I have today. And next time I feel like I've had a busy day, I'll remember that you probably did too. :)
