A big lift

Well moving some furniture around and even getting rid of a few pieces has helped tremendously. The rooms are much more open even when they are crammed full of little people. :) We still have piles of thing on the stairs to take care of but overall everything looks great. :)

Tomorrow Paul's mom goes in for surgery to repair a whole near her small intestine. She has been in the hospital for a few weeks prior to this so she is pretty anxious to get this all behind her. Any prayers for her would be awesome! We are praying that her surgery goes well/quick as well as her recovery so she can be back spending time with her grandbabies. :)

It is a cloudy day with 40% chance of rain. It's always nice to get a cloudy day around here once in awhile. The temp was 80* yesterday. WOW! I am ready for spring but am hoping we don't spring right into summer which can happen here. The kids are already wearing shorts most of the time. Seems like winter was a blink of an eye this year.

Well, I am going to go curl up on the couch and enjoy the smell of chimichungas simmering away. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Orgainization Day!

I was reading a friends blog this morning and she inspired me to celebrate organzing today. Here is her link if you want to check it out. http://www.twelve-paws.com/ She is a super sweet mom I met on Diaperswappers. She has a little girl born on the same day as Preston so her blog is always fun to read along with.

So today I am organazing aka PRESTON proofing our house. He is into everything.. I am thrilled to have him as a healthy and happy little boy but mama needs a little bit of sanity back. He is the first baby to require child locks on our cabinets. I don't think it is him as much as it is we are far more busy at this point in our life than we were when the other kids were smaller. I love his curiousity but we need to make sure he is safe too.

So today I will be going through and removing items that are easily within reach and just trying to make more sense of the layouts of each room. heheh as I type this I can hear Paul in the kitchen telling Preston, "Dude, you have the longest arms ever man!?

I just need to find out a way to make our days more functional and less frantic. It might require moving some furniture but it will be worth it in the end. .....I hope :)
