Wordless Wednesday - Fun with Anna!

Cinco de Mayo

Debi reminded me of this:

Tanka Tuesday

My beloved Scar.
I don't think she's demonic.
If Todd doesn't stop
Calling her Chucky, he'll be
Paying ransom for Rusty.





decluttering update: week 4 - Todd has cleaned out the entire laundry room. We now have a massive amount of stuff for a yard sale that Todd thinks is happening on Saturday. I don't think that's enough time...perhaps next weekend. I have so much to go through. And will I ever fit into my clothes again?

Scar vs. Rusty

Please vote in the poll on the right. Edit: Poll closed. Scar won, unfortunately. I should have taken the pictures in the dark so you can see Rusty's eyes glowing red and the drop of blood on his lip that only appears in the dark. Oh well.

Scar: Rusty:

Water Play

The boys played with their new water and sand thing the other day...but ended up stepping in it, then dumping it all over the deck after throwing all the boats and pieces over the deck rail.  Then they soaked themselves with a pitcher of water, various Tupperware's, and a few paintbrushes.

Gonna have to face it we're addicted to ZOO

Today, the boys and I went to Reston Zoo. It's a small zoo with a petting barn. The boys LOVED the monkeys and the birds, but screamed bloody murder at the petting barn. The goats were like up in our business. I thought one of them might get in the wagon with us. And this one crazy-ass sheep was bah-ing so loud and following us around. Ya think people feed them all day? And the goats were SO fat.

 

 

After the zoo, we met Daddy for lunch. The boys enjoyed a gourmet meal of grilled cheese and pommes frites.

Climber, Box, and Dog

what week is it?

I think it's week 3 of decluttering??? I can't remember. My back hurts. Whine. I threw away some outdated prescriptions today. Tomorrow I want to throw away some old underwear. Just call me Glamour Girl. Pictures of the boys new climbing toy will be sure to grace the blog tomorrow.

....coming tomorrow.

We have so many pictures from Thursday to Sunday that they are taking forever to upload. Check back on Monday and hopefully they will finish while we sleep tonight!!!

While you wait with bated breath, here's a sneak peek at the fun we had, though....Owen being goofy:

Decluttering update...

So....yesterday as I began #2 on my week's list (clean kitchen cupboards. Double yikes.), the boys played with Tupperware, and we enjoyed the spring breeze from the kitchen window, I realized something in the cabinet just wasn't right.

Remember this?

Well Mickey apparently has been hiding out in the kitchen cupboards. GAG ME.

I freaked a bit, then freaked some more. Todd got home, and I freaked some more. Then he vacuumed it out for me, I bought some new mouse traps, and that was that.

But besides that....get this......we got rid of SO. MUCH. STUFF. A nasty old blender, a decrepit Brita pitcher, a butt load of utensils, some disgusting cutting boards, and some other random crap that was living in the mouse den. Plus some old spices, some bowls we don't use, and some other great things for a yard sale that we haven't touched since we lived here.

Oh, and this morning, the traps were empty.

Great.
