Happy Fall To All
I am so happy that Autumn has finally arrived! The leaves are just starting to change, and I think we are all loving the cooler weather too. Bring on the family favorite Fall meals, and Football too. Happy 1st day of Fall to all!

I took the kiddos upstairs early last night, and decided that I would take an hour and a half to start the cleaning process on three closets. The closet in the office (James closet) was going to become the nursery closet, the closet by the bathroom (coats and such) was going to become James closet, and the open closet down the hallway (storage/stockpile/holiday) was going to become the catch-all closet. They all needed cleaned out, and they all needed swapped.
I started with the hallway closet, and a contractor grade trash bag, and got to work. I cleaned, and the boy’s watched, and laughed. Then I moved onto the closet by the bathroom, again I cleaned and cleaned, and got it done. I decided that I had plenty of time, and it was time to make the switch. I moved onto the office closet, and moved what I could out of it, and got it almost done.
James closet is finished, and the hallway closet has a big pile of clothes to go through. I even started putting away some of the tiny pink baby clothes in the nursery closet, and I am feeling pretty good about the progress. I’m still hoping that maybe one day we can put an extra closet in the master bedroom, switch that to James closet, and use the bathroom closet for out of season storage, but that is a whole other project.
I should probably clean out my closet too before the yard sale and the MOPS swap… Guess the cleaning is never quite finished around here!

Kleenexes, Coughs, and Snuggly Blankets
For two weekends in a row, our little Kindergartner has come home on Friday feeling not so great… Last Friday he ran a low grade fever, and was in bed sleeping by 7:00 p.m., this weekend another fever, no appetite, and a pretty big cough too. I really thought it was Fall allergies, but the fever proved me wrong. I think Thade slept through most of the day yesterday, and was ready to go back to bed at 7:00 p.m. The fever finally broke, but the cough is still with him. I’m just waiting to see if the little one gets the evil cold too…

I’m putting in a request for an early Christmas/birthday/Valentine’s/any other holiday for a year or so present… a dishwasher. I’m hitting new levels of lazy, and cooking more than ever, and my hubby has wanted me to get one for quite awhile, so I think I’m giving in. I’m looking for some suggestions of brands that work well, but also don’t cost an arm and a leg. Time to do some comparison shopping, and rip out a cabinet too.
