1,001 Excuses and Getting Organized.

Ok, so I didn't exactly make it 365 days in a row. Dang it. I have a 1,001 excuses, some legitimate and some not. Excuse #1: The left side of my brain is constantly at battle with the right side, trying to convince me that I need to be organized (and I have this intense drive to be organized), but ultimately, my right side wins the battle and I become victim to disorganization. My ideas and intentions are great, but my implementation sucks. I love starting projects; I hate finishing them. My poor house knows this all too well. I take a million photos, but this time, I am going to try to be more organized with the project. I am also going to be more realistic and post one photo per week.

Ironically, this week my photo has to do with getting organized. This is a repurposed window turned dry erase board calendar/to-do list. I picked up some windows not knowing what I wanted to do with them, but knowing that I wanted to do something. The boys started drawing on it when I got home and I thought that was brilliant. Each of us have our own window pane and then I have one for meals, and then one for the week's calendar. I love the window enough that this just might be what gets me more organized!

#125 - #132 Need to catch up again... *sigh*

I am awesome at taking pictures ever day but I suck at posting them. I am all also ready good at signing up for commitments that I don't really have the time to do! Double *sigh* And, have I mentioned that I REALLY miss naptime so I could actually complete some of those commitments that I sign up for :) Triple *sigh*

#124 Sunset

We have been lucky to witness some gorgeous sunsets the last few days. Here is a picture of Brennan viewing one of them. Wow. Breathtaking! The sunrises have been just as gorgeous.

#116 Science and Discovery

I love the preschool and kindergarten age because it such an age of discovery. The boys LOVE science experiments and I love how simple it is to create an "experiment"... old soda bottles, water, vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, hair gel, food coloring, and whatever else I can find in my house will entertain them...
