The Small Stuff...

This is what life is all about....

I know that you can't really tell from the photo but my house is a mess!!!

It drives me insane  that it always looks like the aftermath of a tornado that ripped through my family room.

but seriously - does there have to be a toy on the floor of EVERY room in my house?

I know that I am outnumbered, but c'mon boys, I need some serenity. some CLEANLINESS

I am seriously considering selling a body part so that I can afford a cleaning lady---cause I am sure you all know that I am feeling WAY to lazy to actually do something about it.

This balloon brought so much joy to Andrew, he is a little obsessive about balloons.

so we kept it around till it literally died. He looked for it for two days after I finally got rid of it.

And Michael has discovered his love for roller skating.

Here I was thinking I was being mother of the year and getting him all geared up with padding and a helmet. and what  do I get in return...Mommy, can I take this off - no one else has a helmet on?

and since he was only falling on his fanny, I let him.

He was so happy and I was on pins & needles.

but then it dawned on me -

I never wore a helmet to go roller skating

Dan used to obsess over weird stuff

We both turned out ok.

My house may be messy, but it is filled with love and LOTS of laughter.

I can't wait till that jeep moves outside.

I am so looking forward to watching Andrew go crazy when we finally get to fly kites.

I may still hire a cleaning lady. (Merry Maids-here I come)

It feels good to sweat the small stuff again.
