Little cousin buddies

We spent the afternoon with Katie and Luke.

Luke is 3 1/2 months older than Isaac but Isaac outweighs him.
Yes, I know.
He's a beefy kid.
But I like by babies nice and chunky.

They spent the their time cooing at and trying to eat each other.
Adorable.

Midnight musings

Where the heck did these 3 little boys come from?

I tell Charlie everyday that he's not aloud to get any bigger. 5 is the limit. That's it. I'm serious. I put my hand on top of his head and push down and he just laughs and says, "You can't stop me from growing!" Dang.

It's going by way too fast.

Ike and I are the same

We feel the same way about folding laundry:

And would prefer to blog about it instead:

THE POLA-CALENDAR.. doesn't it look fun to make?

She's back.

NieNie is back. That's really why I was hanging around the computer.
Awesome. Now, off to fold, fold, fold and have a very NieNie-kind of day.

More great decluttering tips

Always in the process of simplifying and decluttering.

My biggest problem right now is clothing.

Too many clothes for everyone!

I'm not kidding about the 9 loads of laundry that need to be folded.

Or the 3 loads that have piled up by the washer to be done.

My bedroom is buried in clean laundry.

Which I should be folding instead of blogging about, I know.

But once I fold it - where to put it?

The drawers and closets are already full.

I have to switch out Isaac's 0-3 month clothes with the next size.

Isaac's bedroom is full of boxes of clothes.

Jack's need to be switched out too.

Greg has an issue with t-shirts and socks.

But I noticed he's paired that down to 2 drawers each.

I still have maternity clothes in my closet.

And t-shirts that have no hope of fitting me during my summer of nursing.

(Yes, I'm already dreaming of summer...)

Charlie. His clothes are okay but has acquired a mass of costumes that need to find a home.

There are 7 days in a week.

How many clothes does one person really need?

I still think about instituting naked day so that for at least one day a week - all clothes are washed, folded, and put away to stop the vicious cycle of dirty laundry making.

Because it's Friday

Make one here, it's fun.

Dear Bitty Twos (you know who you are)...

Dear Bitty Twos,

Now that you have me addicted to all things cake I just wanted to share this with you:

That's right. You can sign up for SPECIAL OFFERS.
I haven't made the trip up there yet, but that doesn't mean I don't think about it several times a day. In the meantime, thank you, Anya for posting your delicious recipe.

I think my New Year's Resolution is to eat more cake.

Love,

Jen
