Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Long Time No See

August 21, 2012

Yes it’s been a while hasn’t it? Life just got busy and I also have been kind of recuperating from all of last month’s doctor visits and health issues. I’m doing better these days and feeling more normal than I was so it’s time to jump in again and get back in the groove.

What have we been doing since I last checked in? After Chris left I finished cleaning the big boys’ room and we moved the girls into it. Then, we cleaned their old room and moved Steve and Joe into it. So, all the kids have new rooms with a little more room for them and they are very happy about the changes. What are we doing with Steve and Joe’s old room? Right now it’s going to be a “junk room” of sorts for a few odds and ends I want out of the master bedroom. Some of those odds and ends are things that the big boys left behind and others are things that need to go to Goodwill. Eventually, that room will be our new office with a much smaller desk and a futon for visiting kids. That’s probably a few months off though.

I started school with Steve last week and I’m ready to start school with the other kiddos but will probably let them have one last week of vacation. Although yesterday I brought home school supplies, and Maggie and Katie said they were ready to start their new math books. Hmmm. :-)

I have been playing a lot of cards and games with the younger kids and this last Saturday we also baked some oatmeal raisin cookies – haven’t done that in awhile. The weather cooled off considerably from what it had been so we’ve been spending more time outside as well. I’ve been walking around the backyard in the mornings for exercise and get a good 10 minutes in. The kids are playing outside more and yesterday we even went to the park – we haven’t done that in awhile either. I also got together with Matt and Jeff on a whim yesterday in a neighboring town and did some shopping and talked and had fun. Hopefully those three big boys will make it home for Labor Day, but we’ll see.

So, that’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks and here’s a few pictures of some of the fun we’ve had. Happy Monday everyone!
