So bored!

Ready to go back to school.... Jonathon has been dressing up in Clayton's football pads and attempting to tackle anything that moves. Forgetting key football attire on bottom!

Clayton's 8th Birthday

Forgot to post about Clayton's birthday. We invited just a couple of boys to Amazing Jakes. I forget how loud boys can be when they get together inside.

Keep 'em busy

Kids are finally on Spring break for the next two weeks. I love it when they are home, mainly because I love to sleep in! The biggest problem with having them home is that they love to fight. So I am doing my best to keep them occupied no matter how exhausted I am.
Clayton has been playing baseball with the same group of about 6 boys for quite a few seasons now, we get along with all the families really well. The best part is there is a friend for every child of mine. There are about 4 10-12 year old girls, 6 7-8 year old boys, and 3 3 year olds. So today, we had a day at the park in the beautiful 78 degree weather.

I tried to get a better picture of Clayton but he was too busy playing basketball. This is a close as he would get for me to take a pic.

I would love ideas...what do you like to do when your kids are home on break? To keep your sanity as well as theirs?

Oh, to be the wife of a C.P.A during tax season! As a wife am I allowed to go on strike cleaning the house?? What a waste of my life. Between shuttling the kids to 2 different schools, getting them to football, baseball and dance, attempting to get all them homework done without yelling and make it to my own job, I have no time to clean the house. When I do no one really cares anyway. The next day it is a complete mess. I used to not be able to leave the house when the beds weren't made. Those days are over. My mom has an old picture hanging on her walls that says: Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tommorow, for babies grow up we've learned from our sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies do't keep. If it were only that easy! Any ideas on how to keep a clean house and a happy family??
The above picture is one of my favorites of the kids. Jonathon had found an old pudding cup in the trash can and he was eating it without a spoon. This is how we found him!

So, I guess it is time that we follow the pack and start this blogging craze everyone is talking about. Celeste took over the first post. I had to put a few of my own cents in! It's funny how she interprets what our favorite movies are, or favorite shows. So apparently my favorite movie is, She's the Man... really. It was a movie I watched with the kids the other night. We did laugh. I wouldn't go so far to say it was my favorite! Anyway, just had to justify her madness.

We have a very loving family, and each of us have a different personality. Let me share with you my family. ( through the eyes of Celeste)
