31 days...

I'll admit I didn't get yesterdays bag done.  I won't go unto details, but it didn't happen.  So...I'll catch up over the weekend.  Later today I'm going to do a post on some cute things Amelia has been saying lately.  She cracks us up!

Haircut and Hello

Amelia got her 3rd haircut yesterday and Asher's started saying 'hello'.  It's pretty funny, becuase he'll only really say it when he has the toy phone up to his ear playing with it.  Here's a short video of him saying it.
 
 
 
Amelia's haircut.  She's great when she's getting it cut just sits up there like such a big girl. 
 
 
When I was taking this picture she asked if I wanted her to give me her big smile.  :)

31 days....

Day 3 completed.  Stupid junk/catch all area on our kitchen counter top.  Drives me nuts daily.  You wouldn't believe the random things that get put up here.  Ridiculous, really.  So it's done and I failed to take an after picture.  I'll add that tonight after I take it.  :) 


The kids and I got some fall stuff out yesterday, here's some shots of them enjoying the weather and putting our decorations up.

Day 2 completed! I found ALL of our wedding cards in my recipe drawer. Seriously? Nine years I've had those. I searched Pinterest and found a pretty cool way to make them into a keepsake. So another project to do!

31 days...

I did one number last night!  Woo hoo.  I already feel better.  I'm excited to keep up with it.  I've decided to include daily pictures of the kiddos too, because they are just so cute and I can.  :)

He fell a second time and ripped the scab off, it's actually looking a lot better now!
 
Look Mom I can put my helmet on by myself.  Even if it is backwards, good job Amelia.

Fall Weekend

We had a great fall weekend!  Saturday we met up at a local farm with some friends of ours and let the kiddos at it.  They literally all took off running together headed towards the bounce house when we first got there, not a care in the world as to where we (the parents) were.  Everyone had a great time.  Saturday evening Nathan and I got a date night that included dinner and some shopping.  Sunday was church, naps, lunch, groceries, naps and dinner.  Just a normal Sunday.  We love fall weekends!

 
 
 
 

31 DAYS...

I've seen this on several blogs that I read, so I decided what a better time than now to jump in and do it!  I'm going to be doing a pinterest inspired activity to regain control over my house!  I'm linking up with the nesting place

The extra clutter that came with the addition of one child is/was extreme.  I feel like I have ZERO space for anything and tons and tons of clutter.  I really want a larger home, but I know that's a WANT at this point.  SO I'm going to declutter the space we do have.  So, 31 days of bags.  I'm making a list of 31 spaces in my house that need to be declutterized.  (I'm sure that's not really a word, but go with it)  I've included the list in the post, and I'm going to do my first bag tonight!  Read if you want, if not skip it, this is really just for my sanity.  :)
