Bumbo

It's been a gloomy couple of days around here, weather wise. After so much nice weather, it's a little sad to see some rain. However, we've been staying in and getting stuff done inside the house. Let me just say that we still have not fully recovered from the flood we had in our house last August! This, combined with Spencer being born this year and we have had one heck of a messy/unorganized house for over a year!! We decided that we really need to get on the ball and get stuff done inside before we leave for NH this weekend and then the week we come back from that trip we are having Avery's birthday party!! We won't have a weekend to "get ready" for the party when we come back so we're going to have to use the few week days in between...! We managed to get a few things done this weekend-small things-mostly because Artie has come down with some sort of cold and the ND game was so stressful on Saturday that we really couldn't get motivated! I did, however, manage to get drawers cleaned out in the kids' room. You know, the task of going through not only seasonal clothes, but clothes that may no longer fit, etc. Spencer got to spend a lot of time sitting in his bumbo while I did this, which was good because the kid would not sit in this thing at all, he hated it. Now, he'll actually sit in it for a while and play with his feet:)

We leave Saturday for our big adventure-and by that I mostly mean driving 15+ hours with the munchkins! I only hope that we can keep them on their schedules as much as possible because we are in such a great routine at home that I want to keep that going! A long week of packing is ahead, but I think we will have fun and if anything spend a lot of family bonding time in the car:) Enjoy the last week of September!

Here's the little man sitting like a pro in his bumbo. Wacky Willy was keeping him occupied:)

Of course, chewing on his mini blankie! His hair is starting to come in, which you can tell a bit in this picture. I'm holding out hope that it's actually coming back in dark-it's really starting to look like it!

I hear you about having an unorganized house; we have so many started and unfinished projects that it is driving me crazy : > Hopefully we will get something accomplished this weekend, but it seems like there is never enough time...

I love the picture of Spencer in the bumbo; Colten never liked his and grew out of it so quickly anyway. His chubby legs always got stuck : >

We can't wait to see you guys next week! Let's talk soon so I can make sure that I have everything you guys need. Yay! Love you and enjoy the trip!
