Catch Up

Do you ever feel like you're so far behind you just may never catch up? Well I'm kinda there. I mean how in the heck can I find time to blog or even take pictures of what is going on around this place when I can't seem to get it functional. So the turmoil begins. The never ending list vs. our energy. It is an early night for the kiddos and they are all in bed. So then goes D. He's never been a late night guy and watching election coverage a little later than normal last night seemed to get him. So I guess I can do my best to get caught up via blogger when I really should be organizing another closet or at least attempting to. Oh well...


The House...well a work in progress. Getting closer to functional but so far from our home. A few weekends wouldn't hurt. Or no kiddos. Here's what it kinda looks like a daily basis.



Yes. The laundry never stopped. I bet my momma's water bill will be a heck of a lot lower though.


Not sure if the extended island will ever be clean unless you are company.

We are slowly transitioning from mom and dad's bedroom floor to their actual bedrooms and beds. Finally. See picture to follow. Now if only we could prevent them from migrating to our floor in the middle of the night. Nothing more scary than your child inches from your face in the middle of the night. It is getting better though! We definitely are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you daylight savings for making bedtime easier. 



 We finally got sod. It looks amazing. Kinda like icing on a cake type of thing. We got it like the monday after we moved. Still have yet to run wild in it. Rain, watering it, mud still kinda putting a damper on that one.


My annoying neighbors. Not the real ones. Just the construction crews working all day long with music blaring and various other loud noises. Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother the kids much. Naps are still happening at least for the little ones.


We had a nice power outage the other night. We got a random flicker and then it was candles for the rest of the night. D made us brats via flashlight on the grill and the kiddos enjoyed cold cereal. A meal without complaining. Crazy? 


Other than that we have been just soaking up our time at home and chipping away at the projects. And well the kiddos have been just being their crazy, silly selves. 





Only Dad could make the smoke alarm covers fun. He never ceases to amaze me with the things he comes up with. No wonder they love him!

  1. Not sure you want the honest answer on feeling behind...I don't think it EVER goes away. Even with older kids, then you are just too busy running them around to do much else at home. :)

    It will all come together. Maybe you can bribe your parents to take the kids for an entire weekend, and with sweet nursing Sage maybe they can just keep him during the day and run him to you for nursing times during the days.

    It's hard with little ones, but we have to learn to ket it go, im still learning
