Another Boys Room Dilemma

Today has been a wasted day spent solely on my 3 sons bedroom.  On saturday, Larry bought a pair of dressers.  A much needed piece of furniture in the boys bedroom.  For the last year and a half, I have neatly piled all of their clothing onto 5 shelves of an old bookcase.  It was hard to keep this looking good when 3 pairs of hands were constantly pulling things off.  

So today, I thought it was going to be a simple day.  Merely me taking the clothes off the book case and putting them neatly into the new dressers.  WRONG!  I should have known my boys would have other plans.  They had glue, scribbling and etchings on the walls that I had the opportunity to scrub off.  After that, I found chicken bones, wild onions, and empty hershey wrappers hidden throughout the room.  Boy have these kids been having a party.

I have no pictures to share, just the visualizations from my words.  Mainly I did not take pictures because I refuse to finish cleaning their bedroom. There comes a point when they have to learn to do it on their own.  Last month, I spent 2 days cleaning up their bedroom.  I told them, I would never do that again and yet here I am a month later.  So, I am having to control myself and just do what I set out to do.  And that is neatly putting clothes into their new dressers.

Good for you! If my mother hadn't made me clean my own room I don't think I would have ever learned, how to do it.

Although, when I was younger she did supervise to make sure every nook and cranny was explored and de-junkified! Have fun!

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...
