Been Awhile!

It's been awhile since I've blogged. I have been so wrapped up in stuff around here it's hard to sit down and write. Right now for the first time I have all the little ones napping at the same time!! Even the baby is napping! It has been so quiet around here for the past couple of hours. I have been decluttering while they sleep. I am getting rid of a bunch of toys that the kids don't play with anymore. This is the best time to do it because they can't fight me on it. I have been trying to live with less and not have such a cluttered house. But it's very hard when your hubby doesn't want to get rid of anything! He's fine with toys going but other stuff for some reason he thinks we need to keep, even though we haven't even looked at it in a year. I think it comes from his mom. She does the same thing. They are both wonderful people and I love them both very much even though they like to hold on to things forever! I've really been on this kick to get my house in order and decluttered. It seems like when I was pregnant things got crazy because I didn't feel like doing anything.

As for everything else in my life, it is going great. Kaitlyn only has 1 more month of preschool left and then she is done. I can't believe how fast the school year has gone!! She will be a kindergartener in the fall! Man how time flies! Chris will be done with the 3rd grade a month after her and will be moving on to the 4th grade! Crazy! TJ will only be turning 3 this summer so he will still be home with me. We did have a chance to put him in preschool where Kaitlyn goes now but he just doesn't seem mature enough. He is also not potty trained yet and I don't know if he ever will be. He is a tough little cookie!! Anyone have any suggestions? And my littlest one, Natalie is going to be 2 months old in a few days!! I can't believe it. She is growing so fast. I'll have to put some more pictures up of her in my next post. She is getting so chubby. She loves to eat!!!

That is pretty much it for now. The weather is finally starting to get nice too so I am able to take the kids out to play more now. It was hard when it was still so cold. I am so thankful for spring and summer weather! I can keep all the windows open in the house and air it out and I can start hanging my clothes on the line outside again!! I love this weather!
