Movin' on up ...

The boys are now in one room. We decided they needed a playroom again (since their sister took the original playroom). :-) They are bunked in Tyler's "blue" room with sports and dinosaur themed stuff. We have been fortunate with all the of the furniture in their rooms - it was all Tim and Dan's when they were the boys' ages. It will be a quiet place too, for homework, reading, etc and the 'green' room, which was TJ's room will have the TV, movies and ALL OF THE TOYS! Toys in ONE room - saaawwweeeeeett!!! I have yet to finish the playroom. We moved the beds today while Tim was on vacation for the rest of the week and we got all the new linens washed. I organized the books and still have get the drawing stuff all put where they have access to it. The OCD part of me that requires things have a home is kicking in overdrive.....At least they respect a clean room and value their belongings :-)

Josie !!

Trying out barrettes for the first time. They didn't stay so great, but with the CUBS outfit on that both TJ and Tyler wore - I thought the red barrette would girlify it :-)

She also rattles off "da da da da da" over and over and waves ... we think it might be an accident most of the time, but it is still awesome to see !!




Pink barrette - cutie girl !!

Some Summer Updates

The boys want to hold Josie and play - here is the result :-)




They want to help (most of the time) with things - like yardwork. Tyler is clearing the driveway...


TJ is raking the lawn.... since his dad doesn't mow often enough and we have PILES of grass leftover. :-(


AND.... If I am correct, TJ has lost 4 teeth this Summer - 6 total !! He starts 1st grade on Monday 8/17 !! Tyler starts Preschool on 9/8.
