Okay, I know it's kind of late in the week to be making a to-do list (...for the week), but I actually started this on Monday (in my head - haha) and I'm just now getting around to writing it down to keep myself accountable. That's the great thing about announcing things like this to the world: I'm much more likely to follow through! :)
So here's what I need to accomplish this week in addition to the usual:
1) Wash up and put away all of the kids' new (or new-to-us) summer clothes. 
About 90% of this is Sophie's stuff because she's still in the growing stage of things not fitting her the following seasons. Hopefully, this next size of clothes will be the start of that change and perhaps she'll be able to wear some 2T stuff next year like Will did? In the meantime, we so appreciate the hand-me-downs from Cora. The two girls are a little less than a year apart and Sophie's catching up to her fast so I don't know how long the hand-me-downs will continue to work out. :( I'll show you some of my favorite warm weather clothes in Sophie's closet very soon - I can't wait till it warms up and she can start wearing all this cute stuff!

Will, on the other hand, can still fit into most of his summer shorts and shirts from last year. We'll have to try a few things on, but I really only got him a few new t-shirts, one pair of plaid shorts and some swim trunks. And as with most of my kids clothes shopping, it was done mostly at the end of the last similar season.
2) A couple, simple dining room refresher projects.
I'll post some picture updates when I'm done.
3) Keep working on Sophie using the potty! She was in a pull-up for part of last weekend and I'm planning to do the same thing this weekend. But she's got some big girl underwear coming in her Easter basket and we are bound and determined to stop buying [so many] diapers in the near future. {$$$ Cha-ching! $$$} She's made the connection. She just needs to learn how to let me know so I don't have to bring her back to the potty unnecessarily every 30-60 minutes. We no longer have the low dresser in her room set up as a changing table. The pad is on the floor now and we are reading all sorts of potty books to reinforce. 
4) Go through the nearly 900 prints I ordered from Snapfish (covering from May '10 - January '11) and date them against the files of pictures on my hard drive. I'm not even going to set the goal of putting them in the albums until later (next week?) but this week, my goal is to date them and sort them by their designated albums. I have clearly been so behind with my albums and this is my big come back. I'll update later.

It's been too long and a girl needs a bubble bath every now and again. 7) Finish making my spring cleaning and organizing list and start making myself some deadlines to get it done! 8) Rock painting with the kids. Details later. 9) Go for a walk with my mom to catch up and get some exercise. 10) Bake cookies with Will to defeat the purpose of the walk. I think that's it. What's on your to-do (or honey-do) list this week? Are you planning any spring cleaning?
