I decide the title for my blogs in about .2 seconds, so cut me some slack. I know..I haven't written in a really looong time. To my potentially 2 readers, I apologize (that one's for you Leon).
Today, my fam did some back breaking labor...we cleaned out 1600 pounds of stuff from our old house! (I know this because they weigh it at the dump so they know how much to charge you - roughly $32 in case you're wondering.) It took me several trips just to get organized as to what constitutes junk and what absolutely needs to be stored. So, after all this, today was the dump and sweep day...thus the two sweeping blisters on my hands. A bit more cleaning and shining and the old house should be all set for the new renters. It's so nice to have my brain storage empty (I had this to-do list in my head for weeks, and it's almost all checked off!). Know the feeling? Caleb helped with a lot of carrying of junk and was rewarded with a trip to the pool. This is his first day of "summer vacation" too. My little man is officially a first grader! Whew, time flies. (I say this, but yet can hardly remember his babyhood? It's hard to explain.)
My little almost 3 year old loved jumping off the diving board and sliding down the slide into the pool. She's so brave! She'll pretty much do any physical activity just to keep up with her brother. Then we came home and took a nap (Well, the kids did..I watched the Real Housewives of NY reunion on DVR. Great entertainment!!). Caleb said, "I'm not tired. I don't want to take a nap!" 1 minute later, I look in his room, and he's passed out on his bed draped over a toy. Mom's know best (well, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to not think a morning of physical labor and an afternoon of swimming wouldn't leave a 6 year old pooped.)
I figure it's easier to just explain a day's worth of activity instead of filling in the main happenings over the last month or so since my last entry. Si?
Currently at the Hill house: Caleb and Em watching ET, Leon watching "The West Wing" (his new bff) on his laptop with headphones and me sipping a Margarita (it's summer!) and catching up on FB (hello, we didn't have internet for 2 weeks?! Thanks VERIZON. you stink! Don't get me started...).
ahhhh. Life is good.
peace,
