For the past few weeks...

I have been such a horrible blogger lately and decided that it was time to update and let people know what has been going on in the wild and crazy home that I live in. Christmas was really great and we really enjoyed our trip to Louisiana but when we got home we were all sick. When we landed in Cleveland we waited until everyone got off of the plane before we got off. As we were gathering our things Kaia kept saying, "Mommy, daddy, mommy, daddy". I told her just a minute. When I turned back around she was in the isle throwing up! I felt so bad. And to make it worse I couldn't hold her on our very long trek through the airport because her very stubborn brothers refused to walk. So, bless her heart she had to hold my hand and walk. Anyway, we made it home and the next day we all woke up sick! Coughing, running noses, fevers, and the boys had diarrhea. And of course I was the least sick so I had to deal with it all. Here is a picture Matt took of us during our sick week. There is always room for one more on my lap. I asked Matt if he wanted to snuggle too! LOL They were sick for about a week and a half. When everyone started feeling better it was snowing a lot (well it is still snowing a lot LOL) so we couldn't go anywhere but we had a lot of new toys to play with which helped make the time pass.

This past Tuesday I was in my room getting ready. I left the kids downstairs playing and watching a movie. They were being really noisy. I could hear then throwing things on the kitchen floor. Which isn't really unusual because the boys love to throw balls, cars, and Kaia's kitchen pots on the floor. So I just figured they were doing that. When I was finished I came back downstairs and found this:

I couldn't believe my eyes and wasn't sure how to react. Until I looked down and Gatlin was looking at me saying, "Yay!" and clapping. So of course I busted out laughing and went to get the camera. Since everything in my kitchen was out of the drawers and on the floor I decided it would be a good time to wipe out my drawers and re-organize everything. Which are two things that I love to do. I know I am weird, but I really do like to clean and LOVE to organize. Luckily only two things were broken and there wasn't much glass to clean up. I have never put child locks on my kitchen cabinets because the kids never ever got into them, but it looks like now I am going to have too. Oh the joys of motherhood! So the past few weeks have been a little busy. Here lately I have decided that it is time for me to better myself and make some time for my hobbies:sewing and scrapbooking. So this past week I have been coming up with some fun projects. So stay tuned...
