What a day!!

I think I have finally reached the "crazy pregnant energy" mark in the pregnancy. I have been going and going and going today. Over the last couple weeks we have been going through our closets and getting rid of some stuff and organizing. We also decided since sooner or later we'll have to move the guest room downstairs that we might as well do it now and turn the guest room into a playroom for the boys. So today I cleaned out Hunter and Tate's closet, went through ALL of their toys in the toybox(and under the couches) packed a box of books away, put the play food in a plastic tub, the train tracks in another, and the mini people and animals in another. Now they can actually PLAY with their toys becuase we'll know where they are. We had our friends over to help move the guest bed downstairs and the couch upstiars, and the desk and computer up upstairs. I can say for the first time maybe ever that my house is very organized. I am pleased with how the playroom is, it will be nice to have it all in one area, although I know that it won't stay in one area. The boys were pretty entertained by all the "new" stuff we found. I put batteries in the dead toys and taped all the ripped books back together, so we should be set for awhile.

Hunter watched a video today for the first time(a garage sale find) of "Elmocise" where Elmo is doing excercises, and so he had fun with that. He came and told me he was going to do his excercises, and it was funny to watch him. Since I found all of his tools to go with his workbench, he came out to the kitchen tonight while I was making supper and said that he was going to work. I asked him where he was working and he said in his room, so I asked him what he was going to work on, and he told me that he was going to build a giant backhoe loader. A little while later he came and got me(while holding his hammer and saw) and told me he was done, so we went in his room and he showed me his pretend backhoe loader. He's very talented :)

Tate just had fun playing with all the animals today. I think animals are to him and tractors are to Hunter. Maybe its his age, but he really likes animals. He's getting the sounds of a lot of them down. And he's added "ball" and "cup" to his vocabulary.

Here are some pics of my new living spaces:







The third picture is to show that there are now no toys around my front door. YAY!
