Spring Cleaning

 Hope you all had a nice St. Patrick's Day.  We didn't do anything exciting to celebrate, in fact, I didn't even decorate for it this year.  We have been so hot here lately (in the 80s until yesterday) that it felt like we had skipped Spring altogether and moved right into Summer.  So I focused more attention on playing outside with the boys.  But the silly leprechaun did visit us while the boys were playing and left them a Shamrock with some gold coins tucked inside.

 Jack found the plant and coins at dinnertime!
 Wyatt is always shooting something!

 Even though Jack and Wyatt like to shoot things together, I'm so happy that Ethan and Wyatt still enjoying playing together too!
 I've been in the (sad) process of transforming Wyatt's room from nursery to toddler room.  We've decided not to repaint (too much effort and I really like the green room, especially since both Jack and Ethan have blue rooms) and have found a nice construction truck theme that will work with the color.  I started by taking out the changing table (that we haven't been using for MONTHS) and brought in the dresser that had been in Ethan's room.
 Eventually we will take out the chest of drawers with the hutch on top once we get some shelves to go in it's place.  The next thing will be to take down the Pooh Bear pictures and replace them with the truck pictures.  I love that Wyatt is growing up, but it's also sad to see the baby room that we've had for the past seven years finally get packed up (for good).  Bittersweet....
Since Ethan's bunkbed has drawers and cupboards all over it, we took out the chest of drawers (now in Wyatt's room) so that he has more room to play in his room.  I do want some shelves to go on his walls so I can put his photos and piggy bank out, but for now it works.

My boys are growing up!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
