Organizing Photos Coming Up

I realize I've been quite a slacker lately, but I don't have much to say.

Today we went to watch soccer games. Amaya's game was first. When she first started she would only go out on the field if Mike or I came with her and held her hand. Now she'll go out by herself, but she acts like she's the coach's shadow. She sticks right by him. If he walks, she walks. If he stops, she stops. It's so funny. Usually when her team is throwing the ball in or kicking off he has her do it because that's the only time she'll get near the ball.

Hayden does really well during his games. He gets in there and runs fast and kicks the ball. Today his coach wasn't there so Mike had to be the coach. He was not looking forward to it, but after a few minutes he relaxed and did great. Today was picture day, so without the coach there I was in charge of that. I can't wait to get the pictures back. They are going to look so cute.

After we got home Mike decided to start scraping the paint off of our eaves and around our windows. It looks pretty bad and we can't afford to get them replaced yet so we're going to paint them this summer. I decided to clean out and organize the truck because it has gotten so messy in there I'm embarrassed to open the doors if anyone is near me. Of course, the back seat where the kids sit was the worst. I took everything out, vacuumed it, wiped down everything and washed the windows. I found some interesting things. There were a lot of pairs of kids underwear under the seats. I'm not quite sure why that is. There were various socks under there, too. I found one of Amaya's winter boots that she went without all winter because I had no idea where it was. I am tired of having things roll under my feet when I'm driving, or not being able to find something I know is in there when I need it. I put a tote with a handle on it on the floor in front of the front seat right in the middle. Then I put several things in it that I need in there like tissues, my adapter to plug things in, sunscreen and an empty jar with pens and crayons in it. I've got a list on my computer of things I think we need to always keep in the truck, so I need to look that up and stock my tote up with those items.

Since I was organizing something today, it made me realize I need to start taking pictures of what I've organized so far in my house and post those. Since I can't think of much else to talk about, I will start doing that next week. Now if I could just find my camera.

I was just going to remind you to post your organizing pix! I need some inspiration. :) Actually, I started 3 projects this weekend but STARTED is the key word. I did get a lot done but now have 3 messes to get cleaned up. I am in that it gets worse before it gets better phase. LOL
