I am sitting here listening to the robins singing outside. It is such a lovely sound. A sound I haven't heard in months. Cherrio-cherrium. My windows are open and a nice breeze is flowing through. And more importantly, the house is quiet. The babys are in bed and the boys are at church. I am so happy right now.
Baby B has been getting into so much trouble lately. He has hit his terrible twos. Most of my kids don't hit that stage until age 3. He is 15 months!! He is actually whining in bed right now and I hear Princess C "shh, shhhhhhhh". How funny. Anyway, he won't take no for an answer. If he wants something, the only way to keep him from it is to put it out of his reach. And then he throws a fit. He has anger issues already. He throws things and knocks things over.
Bummer, the robin stopped singing.
All the kids have been giving me trouble. They have spring fever, I guess. I have been letting them play outside as much as possible, but it only seems to make their behavior worse. We are stopping school in May, so we only have a little over a month to go until we get at least a month off.
I am trying to finish up the kids math. N will be half way through Saxon 1 in a few lessons and D is trying to get to the end of 5/4. We have also been working our way through all the half finished workbooks laying around. I am in spring cleaning mode and everything has got to go! My sil is having a garage sale in a couple of weeks and I am frantically grabbing anything and everything to throw in it. I cleaned off our front porch today. One room down... umm... I don't even want to count how many more to go.
Yippee, the robin is singing again.
I just wanted to post a little update since it has been awhile. I am going to put some more things up on ebay. Hopefully I will be able to check up on all of you tonight.
Oh, and our bathroom has been approved by our village. We are done!!!

Hey, I have been in exactly the same spring cleaning mode as you are: all the extra stuff has to GO! :) So far, I have only two rooms all cleaned up from junk: Beeper's bedroom and one bathroom. They have finally installed the shower in the other bathroom except now they have to paint it, which means another two-three week project....Man, I will consider it a miracle if they get it all done by the time you visit us in May! These people are soooo sloooooow...:)
I love you all so much!
