My kids need to stop being so cute, I am constantly taking their picture.

I decided the 38 degree and sunny day was good enough so we went outside. In the sun it actually felt warm, except for when the wind blew, but it just felt great to be outside. All 4 of us enjoyed the weather. This was Jon's first time outside since last fall. I bundled him up and he enjoyed the swing, enjoyed riding in his little car, then we put him in his exersaucer in the garage as we started cleaning. One day we'll make a dent in there.

Jessica enjoyed playing with her kitchen, swinging, going down the slide, playing in the sand box. She even pushed around Jon in the car, and filled him up with gas, hahaha. Most of all she enjoyed stacking pieces of wood we had laying around the garage. Why do we buy toys???

I hit the jack pot by finding the 12-18 month boy clothes I was looking for. We got them from various people, and I sorted through them, there was some 2t in there, that we won't be needing for a while. I'm sure Jess has some 18 month onesies floating around somewhere (white I hope), but god knows where. That will be a spring project, going through all the clothes. In the meantime I'm sure we can go buy a pack of boys onesies.

Jon is not enjoying his exersaucer as much lately, he wants to go go go on the floor. I even got some pics of him getting up on his knees, and army crawling around. The kids play so well together, laughing, hugging on each other. Jess mocking his baby rants, hahaha. Jon pulling on her hair, hahaha. I wanted to get some video of him doing his thing, and she came up behind him and gave him a push, helping him along, hahaha. He thought that was funny.

I got a cleaning bug in the basement. I found a video of Jess when she was born and put it on for her to watch. She thought it was so cool to watch Baby Jessie in the video, does she know that's her? That was with my old camera. With my new one, you have to hook up the camera to the tv to watch videos, and do you think I could find the cord, Hell no. So that created a cleaning frenzy. I gave Jess a coin bank, and a fish bowl of coins, she was set the rest of the evening and Jon bounced in his jumperoo. We have to really start labeling all these cords we have, we must have at least 10 that hook to my computer alone. I threw a lot out. I swear I will get organized yet. Jess got really excited when I threw all her playdoh stuff in a box, along with stickers, markers, crayons, and whatever else I found all over the place.

I am reminded of my buddy Peter Walsh, and how he says give the things you love respect. I found pictures stashed away in a junk drawer, how disgraceful. I love my computer, but I don't give it respect. I finally went through the big box of old CD's. I don't need to save all this crap from my computer 5 years ago or more. So I went through most of them and purged. I even had floppy disks, WTF? It felt great. I think there is still one more big box in the storage room, I can go through tomorrow night. It's a nice quiet activity to do while the kids are in bed.

While they are awake I want to go through the rest of the crap in the storage room. I can't find his ducky tub and that makes me mad. He would really enjoy it now that he can sit up and it's no where to be found, grrr. I went through my closet the other day and did the trick Peter said, turn your hanger the other way, and what clothes you don't use within a few months, get rid of. That's a simple way to see which ones you really do wear all the time. I need to go through all the ones in the basement, I know we could get rid of half of them. Next year I'd really like to buy some new clothes, we haven't done that in forever. We have t-shirts etc. from the year we got married (hawaii shirts, hahaha). And they have seen better days.
