My plan for today was to get all fired up and attack the house with a mighty purge, getting rid of excess clutter and helping organize. I wanted to finish sewing projects so I could get my table back again, and get things photographed for craigslist and ebay. It was a great plan!
Then the complete opposite happened! We got a phone call yesterday from a friend we hadn’t talked to in a while. Moving out of state meant getting rid of some big things that wouldn’t be making the trip, so they offered them to us for free. So instead of purging clutter, Bill went out early to pick up more stuff!!

First there was this little tent. The boys loved it!!

After having to break it down for transport, Bill got this put back together for the boys this afternoon. It still needs a ton of cleanup, but it is in good shape otherwise! Crazies can get their jumping out somewhere other than in Brendan’s crib (which has been creaking under the strain as they get bigger and stronger)

There were some other big things we picked up that need some work, but we will save all that for another post. Thank you for the hand-me-downs, Iris! 🙂

There was a total nap fail today and some mega-crabby boys tonight. I was awake most of the night with Brendan so I was in no mood for it. (Brendan had a good night, his machines just were being noisy for attention. And there was the 3am call from Trevor’s room…”Rocking chair!!!! Mommy? Rocking! Rock rock roooooocking chair!!”)
I broke out a secret weapon to get through bath time. Glow sticks! It was a hit.

Trevor was asleep by 8PM and Brendan soon after. Tomorrow will be much more uneventful. We need to get refocused on that clean/purge now!
