The Mother Lode - The return of the Beanies!

The return of the Beanies!

It's back to dish days (the kids LOVE doing dishes! Not.), doing laundry with my very own washer and dryer and Caleb's most favorite----THE RETURN OF THE BEANIES!!!

As we settle back into *somewhat* of a suburban lifestyle again, Caleb is as happy as can be to have his beloved beanie babies back from the bowels of storage. Right now, he and Molly are playing happily with all 100+ of them.

Going from RV living to back to a stix and bricks is a mixed bag. I miss those cozy chats at bedtime when we would all visit from our beds. But I also appreciate Jay and I have some alone time now. (Jay and I didn't a date or any time alone.)

Housekeeping in an RV is a snap...but it also takes a snap to trash it out too. ;)

The simplicity of the RV lifestyle still holds tremendous appeal and is something we are constantly reaching toward. I've never been a big "stuff" person and even more so now.

Lots of things to reflect on.

But in the meanwhile, the happiest reunion is the Beanies. (And this coming from the same boy who, a few days ago asked, "Mom? Can I buy a rocket and a Barbie?")

We spent two years in an RV travellling all around the country. I know the clean-up and trashing routines very well. The coziness can be very nice and irritating too. My daughter had to temporarily put away many of her stuffed animals - it was a tearful farwell (though more than I would like came with us). She now has too reunited with the many long lost friends.
