| Story time in my bed while dad was camping with scouts |
Don't let this picture fool you into thinking things are blissful around these parts. Yes, things were good when I took that picture but that was taken at the end of the most stressful weeks of our married life. You know it's bad when I fed my boys cans of chili for dinner. Seriously, how sick is that? I found them in the back of the pantry left there from some scout camp out, checked the expiration dates and decided it was good enough. I felt like I was feeding them dog food!
We are getting ready to put our house on the market which means lots of painting, touch-ups, repairs, cleaning, organizing, and moving stuff to our storage unit. Throw in the training we are both trying to do for the Ragnar despite Mother Nature's efforts at setting new records for longest/worst winter ever, Ethan's first Pinewood Derby, Marcus's birthday, Randy wrecking his car {and my Chariot}, and a couple scouting over-nighters and you can see we have been one bundle of stress and chaos.
Randy is the man for surviving a grueling and stressful schedule for weeks on end, while building Ethan a winning car in the Pinewood Derby. Don't know how he managed a win since he spent less time on this car than any in years past and the only reason I'm mentioning this at all is so I don't feel like a failure as a mother for overlooking a big deal in Ethan's life.

| Cabin Fever reached new heights. This kept them entertained for hours until some serious damage was done to the fireplace. I should've known but oh well. The fun was almost worth it. |

| Getting creative as I try to decorate my house without using personal photographs everywhere. Staging a house is NOT my strong suit! |
 |
| I went to Landon's school art show covered in paint from painting his bedroom. At least I went with the theme, right? |
 |
| I organized and washed piles of baby clothes to give to my sister and donated boxes and boxes of old, worn-out boys clothes I should've thrown out years ago. It made me so sad to get rid of the baby stuff but I don't have time to dwell on it now. |
 |
| Randy's car {and home office} took on my Chariot. They both lost. So so sad about my Chariot. |
