Binge and Purge- in a good way

Today is the last day of our Fall Break and it has been great!! We (I) really needed a break from the school routine already. Pics of r wild bunch adventures coming soon...

SO today, since it's monday, of course, the house is trashed and I have started a new mission to binge on the cleaning and organizing and purge the junk. The basement that was so nicely organized is all torn apart looking for the Halloween costumes and decorations and such. And baby stuff that is no longer needed has finally lost it's sentimental value. But 1st, the bathrooms. I'll spare you pics of a dirty bathroom or 2. Wish me luck! I have had a pile of Christmas decorations that I no longer use all boxed up and ready for DI for months. Maybe it will actually make it to the drop off this time. ...unless I need it this year... :)

PS the getting rid of stuff is 1 of only a few things I like about moving. Not that we are moving any time soon ;)

PPS I've had this blog design for about a month or so, so it is probably time to change it up again. I'm a little insane that way. HA!

Fooling around in the backyard

These kids LOVE to be outside! I am so glad we have a backyard to send them out to when I need some space and they need some fresh air. We kept talking about moving back in to an apt. if we EVER sell this house, but I am pretty sure we will have to have a house with a yard if I want to stay sane! It's not very big but it's big enough. Brooke loves to eat the mulch and the boys aren't much help in stopping her from doing it because they are busy doing EVERYTHING else they can think of...... I guess it's just a little extra fiber for her :)


Jake loves to swing!

I love these pics of Brooke because she can finally reach the ground when she is sitting on her bike. Now if she can just figure out how to make it go.
Funny hair but what a cutie!

Go get Mom, I'm stuck in the baby swing!

So! Jake thought it would be funny to try to get in Brooke's swing and he got really stuck. The neighbor kids over the fence were calling "Jake's stuck in the baby swing" over and over and he was getting mad and embarrassed. I finally got him out by taking the swing down. Later he tried it again, I guess he thought it was funny now. I told him if he got stuck again I would take a picture and put it on the blog for all the world to see how silly he looked. Apparently that sounded great, so they both got stuck in it so I would take a picture. Goofballs!
