Today seemed like one of those never ending days. It started out with me catching up all the laundry from the past couple days (mostly folding, I hate that part). I had to get this done because we are having another open house tomorrow. Then rushing around getting everyone ready for soccer, looking for the "missing" soccer shorts that always magically appear when mom looks for them. Reminding all four to brush their teeth...sending at least three back because they were in and out in less then 30 seconds. Getting all the water bottles, chairs, etc. in the car and off to the games. Today Trevin and the twins played at nearly the same time, so shuffling back and forth between the two fields which are fortunately next to each other. Cheering, cheering and more cheering. Next we were off to a pizza party for Trevin's team. That part was actually relaxing and filling! Then we were off to change and gets the boys skates for a skating birthday party. Meryn begging the entire drive to skate and me trying to think of any excuse to get out of that. When she skates she wants me out there with her. I succeeded with an excuse :) and we were off to the mall. We finished up the day by driving around looking for a new house to buy. So now I am just relaxing and thinking how nice it will be to have soccer season over. Only to remember that WE are the crazy parents that decided to let Trevin play baseball this summer and kept Brendon and Caleb playing in basketball tournaments until June. So the saga continues for now.

Our house is finally on the market!

We have been very busy fixing up the house the last couple months (actually the last 10 years)! Anyway, we finally got everything done and it is officially For Sale. I am having a little trouble letting the kids be kids this last week since we never know when someone will want to see it. We had an open house last Sunday and will have another one this week. So i have been one crazy cleaning lady. One night when I was a bit out of hand I suppose, Caleb made a comment that brought me back to reality. He said "mommy the house doesn't need to be perfect does it, we are just a family." I have tried to lighten up a little after that. They are all doing so good keeping their rooms clean and keeping beds made. That makes my job a lot easier, thanks boys!!! We will try to get some pictures posted soon.

Meryn's New Haircut

Meryn has been begging us to get her hair cut short for several months. I finally got it done today and she is thrilled with it.
