Clean up PARTY!

I just love my boys! They decided to do some destruction while I did the dishes. I heard them laughing and laughing, so I figured....keep cleaning while they are happy! Little did I know......
"Hey Noah...Lets dump these toy bins and then sit in them! Mom will LOVE that!"

Ok...Mommy did like how happy they were, but MAN are we going to have one BIG clean up party!!! Here is why I had to laugh:
"Look Mommy....I am cute!"
"This is sooo much FUN! I am sitting in a BIN!"
Brotherly Love
"Mommy....I am such a good boy! Look at all of the toys I threw around for you!"
 Clean up...Clean up...Everybody...Everywhere!
Clean up...Clean up...Everybody do your share!

Needless to say....I need to get off and get some cleaning done. Whoever thinks being a stay at home Mom is easy and holds little respect......
Try it out. You will be working harder at home than at your job. 
haha...but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I told the boys, if they cleaned up their toys and took a good nap, there would be a surprise when they woke up! So what was their surprise?
         Mommy went outside and cleaned up the slide/swing. I put it in the playroom during their nap. They were SO excited when they woke up. It is a great idea to take outdoor toys, clean they up, and bring them INSIDE. The kids think it is the greatest thing. It helps to beat that "don't want to spend money...don't want to go out...but the kids are going NUTS!!!!" They have been playing non-stop since waking up. Consider it!

So...having a crazy day with the kids? 
Repurpose outdoor toys for INdoor toys. 
But-- Mr. Swingset is heading back out in a little bit. 
I am sure Mr. Spider is hiding in there somewhere. lol
Have a happy day!!

Amelia Grace Wilson

Our little Amelia is going to have one PINK nursery!
We chose a pink paint that was not Pepto-Bismol pink, but a light, ballerina pink. {love my color descriptions?}
Our color: Pink Ribbon
Brad painting his baby girl's nursery. 

It has been SO much fun preparing for our little girl. We are not used to all of this PINK! Here is the bedding we have (stock photo).
 
Then for my baby shower, my Mother in Law is buying our chandelier to go over the crib (in place of the mobile).
 
I am so ready to get the nursery done! May will be here before we know it and I will have my sweet Amelia in my arms! I will post pics of the finished nursery, but these are the details so far!
