Around the house!

   This is a pretty common sight.  Alabama helps when I  need a hand...She loves to feed Dylan.  One day this week, I was busy, Dylan was crying and the girls can hardly stand it when he cries so they try to comfort him......
  Well, I had just fed him a whole bunch of cereal and fruit and I knew he wasn't hungry, but the girls..... they thought because he was crying, he might like to eat.  After a bunch of crying, I soon intervened after my job was done and told them, no he is Not hungry, stop trying to feed him, and I got him out of his high chair, cleaned him up and nursed him to sleep.  After I put him to bed, I went to the kitchen to clean up lunch dishes and this is what I found!!   can you read the label?

Crushed Garlic!!!  I didn't realize it but they were feeding him garlic!  And boy that night and the next day his breath and diapers sure let us know he at least swallowed a bite!!

Okay, I have a bunch of pictures I hope that I can show you to explain a bit of my life right now!!

Just a few happenings around here...
Do I need to say anything about my 2 year old?
 Just a few of the messes he created in one day!

 The doors came just in time!  Now that Dylan's crawling he just started reaching for things.!!  This is the first picture!!  And now!!!
We have our cupboard doors!!

Trevor fell out of a wagon last night at Derek and Elise's.  Today he played fine in the morning, then around lunch he started complaining of a sore neck.  
Tia was sick today.  We took a day off school.  Might I add we had a very challenging day.  Trevor didn't want me to move him, or put him down, until he had some Advil and Daddy came home.
My washer has this awful noise when it is on it's fast spin cycle.  My laundry is out of control this week.  I'm trying to be peaceful any way.  I was overwhelmed and Jeff reminded me....
Your washer is broken, there were two contractors in your kitchen for two days created dirt, (and beauty!!)  The kids are in swimming lessons 2x a week.  
I know, but It is stressful!  Trying to find clean clothes to wear.
Spring is here I need to go through clothes again and get rubber boots out.  
I'm so grateful though... Looking at pictures reminds me how far the house has come in a year!!
Well, that was a long post!  Hope you are doing well.!

Thanks for the look inot your life. And no, you don't have to say a thing about your 2 year old. Not one word. ;) Your cabinet doors look wonderful. I'm so happy for you! And when you think you haven't gotten anything done...just think about all you did that you weren't planning to do. =) And then remember that tomorrow is another day. (Advice I have to put into practice regularly.)
