I have spend the last 2 days doing spring cleaning and organizing (I didn't get arround to it in the spring :) .  I can't  seem to stop!  I'm the type of person who can let things go for a while and clutter will start taking over, but once I'm in the cleaning mode I usually keep going untill everything is shiny clean and back in order. 

It's amazing how many toys you can accumulate when you have 5 kids!  It doesn't help that at our dump you have to walk through the " still good shed"  to throw out your trash.  I always seem to find at least one little "goodie".  This past week I found  a stack of educational computer CD's-ones that the kids really like-and five of the "A Series of unfortunate Events" books in excellent condition.

Yesterday, Sophie and I  made some more beaded jewelry. It was very relaxing. Boys are so great, but I'm also enjoying having a girl.   When I had bought Sophie some beads at wal-mart once, while we were waiting in line, she told the person behind us  that "mommy and I are going to do girlie things together" it was really cute.
