Rockstar Parking

This is what I accidently pulled up to today at Frys. I was really excited.

Purging

This is what I like to call purging...maybe at this point it is nesting. I actually am a little embarrassed to post this on the blog but right now this is what is consuming my mind. I NEED TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING. Now, I am not the cleanest person out there but I like a little order and to be able to walk around. With kids I have had to let go a little and realize that being clean is not always going to happen. Wow I keep looking at this picture and can't believe my eyes. Believe it or not, this cluster has some organization to it. One pile is for Goodwill, one is of clothes that are cute but I just don't wear anymore, along with some shoes and hangers. A friend at work mentioned she gets rid of anything she hasn't worn in 2 years. I have adopted this policy and am sticking with it. I really just need 1 day to finish this project.

This pile is in the loft. It is from 2 weeks ago when I cleaned out 3 closets. I am considering having a trade/swap party with friends that need to purge too. We all probably have good stuff that others might want but just don't use it anymore. However, thinking about keeping all this stuff for a few more weeks makes me tick a little. We might just get an awesome tax deduction next year. Goodwill here we come. 

 Any thoughts on a trade/swap party?

Science Project

I know this is a lame picture for the day. But the day was a little hectic and filled with activities. We started off with a rushed trip to the grocery store to get the last few things for the science project, then to music class, home for a quick lunch, then off to Liz's to drop off Lane, then off to preschool for the afternoon. The project went great and all the kids loved the lab coats and the fact that they got to be scientists today. They all went home with this little project. We also made 'frogs on a log' with celery, cream cheese, and craisins. They were a hit! Once I get the pictures back from preschool I will add them to the post. It was a hectic but great day!

Zoo

Today we actually made it into the zoo. We tried on Monday (MLK Day) and I was not willing to fight the crowds and walk 3 miles from the parking lot to the entrance. So I told the kids I would bring them back soon. Today was wonderful, there was hardly anyone there and the weather was amazing. We met up with some great friends and enjoyed the day.

Isn't he delish!

After a long day at the zoo. This was barely out of the parking lot.

Science projects

I signed myself up to be a science mom at preschool this year. I had to go all out for my first lesson on Thursday. I got lab coats for all the kids and we are doing celery in food coloring and a lesson on plants. They are going to love it! I hope. How cute are they going to look? I can't wait.

Donuts

Gotta love cream filled chocolate covered donuts.

Test

Just testing the new app I got.  It finally worked!

It's Complete

Here is the after picture. The long desired pavers are finally finished. I love them, they look so nice and really complete the yard. There are still a few changes we want to make but they are small and easy projects.
