We have been winter cleaning like fools today. Don’t know what hit, I think the chaos was just out of hand. We now have a kitchen island and things are all moved around. Hoping it will work, I think I like the change already. Feels good to get things organized. We even cleaned out the junk drawer!

The Bainbridge Mama’s sale is tomorrow, time for me to hopefully make some money and get rid of some outgrown clothes and shoes of the boy’s. I have 5 bins of clothes, a couple toys and 1 bin of shoes. A lot less than last year, but I just started pricing things tonight so I’m not too organized. I’ve been pretty good about putting things aside and all their clothes are in great shape so money, money, money here it comes.

It’s late and I’ve worked my tail off today….time to retire.

We dug through the Halloween bins today and the boys had fun trying on wigs and masks. We also found a funny spider that we’ve had for years that makes a crazy buzzing sound while it vibrates when you engage it. I was amazed when Levi told me right where to hang it, same spot as last year. He has a great memory. We also got out some Halloween flashlights and glow sticks, so the boys went into their bedroom to play. Kind of like the light saber fights in Star Wars, toddler style. Levi and Carlos were playing nice until Trey came in for the kill. Typical at our place, one of them always has to tick the other two off.

Interesting fact that you might not know about our family….every night before the boys get tucked into bed, the boys have decided that they need to kiss our legs and noses. Seems submissive, but it’s not like that, just showing some love.

Dee and I have started our new workout regime. Day 1 and we’re still going strong! Dee gets up in the morning, goes on the treadmill then comes in to wake me up, I get on the treadmill while she showers. The only downfall will be if she decides not to get up when the alarm goes off. I can be honest here in saying that I HATE the treadmill, it’s boring but does it’s job. Now we’re on the lookout for a little tv that we can put on a shelf in front of it so we can watch the news while we work out. That would help. Radio/music just doesn’t cut it as I’m a total visual person. If you have a little tv you are wanting to get rid of, talk to me.

No school for the boys the rest of the week, who knows what we’ll do to stay busy. Speech tomorrow in Silverdale so we may spend some time goofing around and shopping beforehand. The boys can get some playtime in the playstructure at the mall and burn off some energy and I can have some retail therapy!

Time to get ready for dinner out with our dear friend, Mary Jones!

We’ve got a baby coming for respite care on Thursday, we’ll get some pics up.
