If the walls of this old house could talk, they'd tell you:
1. That toys cover half the living room nearly all the time
2. There are piles of laundry to fold...it's neverending!
3. Jacki is stressed out because she's sacrificing housework to help Matt...not that Jacki loves housework; in fact, she despises most of it, but tries to do it once in a while...things have gotten a little outta hand, though.
4. That Clarence loves watching borshows...specifically, Little House or cowboyborshows...
5. That Clarence only likes his animals and anything that has to do with them...he has other toys, but he doesn't use them for what they're supposed to be used for; he uses them to put his animals in, on, or under.
6. Adina loves watching Clarence
7. Adina loves collecting little random toys and placing them in odd spots; it's very funny to watch
8. Adina has started having temper tantrums...she even needed a timeout to calm down tonight...it really helped her.
9. Matt likes staying up late...really late...sometimes to work, sometimes to play on the computer, and sometimes to watch movies...
10. There aren't any closets on the main floor of this square old house, and this frustrates me...how do I organize and put things away when there are no hiding spots?
11. We love playing outside our old house...Clarence collects clumps of grass and pulls them around in his wagon; Adina trains her cats; Matt hauls hay straw, unloads it and starts all over; Jacki mows, weeds, collects eggs, feeds outside little animals, gets fresh garden produce, etc........
12. This old house is small (trust me, it really is), and we hope to add on...maybe soon...maybe not so soon...we'll see!
Tomorrow, we're making salsa and freezing sweet corn at Nikki's house...I'll be sure to take pictures!
