Small update with pics.

Maddie&EthansMom wrote: Maddie's party went really well. It was over so fast, though. Everyone had a great time and that's all that matters. I had my 5 year old niece from Friday thru Sunday evening. I love her, but was ready for her to go home. The kids had a lot of fun with her, too

Yesterday was Scotty's birthday. We got a babysitter to come watch the kids. Maddie knows her so it wasn't such a big deal. It was the first time anyone has come into our home to watch the kids (that wasn't a family member) She is going into 7th grade..she has younger siblings. Scotty and I went out to eat and then to a movie...we had a GREAT time. It was just one of those really relaxing, fun evenings and we didn't worry about the kids at all. They had a blast and were still awake when we got home. Poor Demi. We paid her well....she earned it.

Today was the start of my neighbors garage sale. I took a ton of stuff over there and made $200 It is going on all day tomorrow too. I need to sell ALL the stuff so I don't have to haul it back over here.

The biggest news......






I GOT MY HOUSE CLEAN!!!!!


It is so VERY clean and I'm so proud of myself. It was so messy. I managed to declutter every room and put everything away. The garage is even clean (thanks to the garage sale)

Here are some pics....

I thought my mom did a great job on the cake


AND the flip flops. Notice how some of them were already coming apart.


Plum tuckered out. (that's the ugly couch in their playroom, btw )
