Spring Cleaning/Organizing

 I made one more addition to my master closet in the form of this grey ottoman. It's a perfect place to sit and put my shoes on or off and a great place to store extra items. Now all I need to complete this room is the remove the light fixture with a pretty chandelier --eventually.  It feels like I'm always tweaking my pantry. Even though it's double the size of what we had in our last house, it never feels like it's big enough, or organized well enough.  Maybe it's because the boys are getting bigger...Anyway, to get ready for summer and having the kids home every day for the next two months I started reworking it.  One of our trouble areas is the bread section. It seems like I always had numerous versions of bread; sandwich bread, tortillas, English Muffins, etc. So I found this great idea and gave myself a shelf within a shelf. Perfect!!

Fun Around the House

Jack and Wyatt have enjoyed their skateboards, but it got a whole lot more fun when their friend Reed got one too! Practicing some tricks. Of course, I always have to take a picture of my front porch as the season change.

 I realize it's been awhile since I've posted and the last things I did share were our Spring Break and Easter pictures -- but I neglected the whole month of March!!  So, here are some random pictures of the boys playing and some of the things we did.  The boys always want to do whatever Daddy does so here they all sat up to paint some miniatures - one of Jason's favorite things to do.  Wyatt has quite the eye for it, despite being so young.  The boys always love getting holiday cards from Nana and Granddad. Here is Wyatt getting his St. Patrick's Day card while his brothers are still at school.  Digging in to find his coins!!  March is often when we find ourselves working out in the yard because that's typically when it starts to warm up here in Georgia.  This Spring we had A LOT of rain, which always bring the hillside down to a certain degree. Over the past few years we have slowly been adding plants to anchor it in. Some
