BUSY....BUSY.....BUSY

It seems like these last few weeks have been super busy....between D's schedule and my schedule...it feels like we are just passing each other by....one of us walks in the door and the other walks out....crazy. D is finally done with Middle School Track and has started to do projects around the house....He went out this past weekend to buy 5 rather large trees to plant...we are looking forward in having some bigger trees in our backyard. K has been having fun with the little boy next door to us. The two of them LOVE to play outdoors! Between all of his backyard stuff and our backyard stuff (including the trampoline), they have been having a blast! We went to a Memorial Day parade this year and K came home with lots of candy and junk! E had her first lollipop ever...during the parade someone walking in the parade had given E a dum dum and before we knew it, she had the wrapper off and it was in her mouth...needless to say..she was a sticky mess. E also somehow got her hands on some smarties as well...came walking out of K's bedroom with them in her hand...try taking those away from an almost 2 year old...I let her have the 2 that were in her hand but boy can she throw a fit....some other things that we have been up to is trying to get rid of things that are just sitting in our garage and basement. With my brother-in-law moved out (we miss you uncle T), we have taken over the basement. D and I moved our bed downstairs with the kiddos upstairs, and have been trying to purge our collection of stuff....or as D would say..my collection of stuff....it is not fun to look at all your stuff that you have accumulated and realize...what was I thinking when I saved that...D is almost done with school...just about 1 1/2 weeks left and then we will be in full mode of spring cleaning...
