Spring Cleaning

I guess since it is Spring now, Spring cleaning should commence. Every year I tell myself I'm going to organize my whole house. My house isn't messy, but if you opened my closets, I would be embarrassed. I decided I would tackle one project a day. Then I don't set myself up for failure. My first project was the pantry. That was the closet that was the worst.

Here is the before pic...

This is during the process. This is usually the point when I want to go hide in the corner and cry. Just ask Lucas, I don't deal well when everything is in chaos. I have a mini anxiety attack. I made it through it with no tears.

This is the after pic. Lucas came home and asked where all the food was. A nice "thank you" would have been appreciated. I feel much better about that closet now.


Last week Lucas entered the "old man" stage of life. (I can say that because I'm already in the "old woman" stage) He even has the bad back to show for it. We were at my parents house for his birthday and I forgot all the ingredients for his pumpkin pie on our counter at home. I didn't want to go out and buy all the ingredients, so I I bought him a frozen pie. Lucas is a pumpkin pie connoisseur so that was very blasphemous. I made it up to him and made him a homemade pie a couple of days later. Hopefully that didn't ruin his birthday. (I think the Aggies losing ruined it more)




Caden started soccer this week. He says he likes it. I think he likes to chase after the other kids. I don't think he fully grasps the concept yet. It's funny to watch the mob of kids surround the ball. They need to work on their strategy at the next practice.

I brought my camera and of course my batteries died. I'll have to take more pictures at the next practice.
