The new bin

1. Catching up
I started catching up on life from being sick the past few days. For example, this evening I began taking down the Christmas tree. Owen pushed a box over to the table and began eating the left over food from dinner. Not surprised.

2. Meals are a good time to take pictures
I realized today that I take a ton of pictures during mealtime. I think that this is because the boys can't move, the camera is right there and they are always sitting next to each other. I know that these pictures get old...but here are some more. Obviously expect more meal time pics in the future.

3. Toy room

So grateful for all of the new toys from Christmas. Our toy room is packed to the brim. We got a trunk full of toys from the Orsticklopplands alone. This snapshot was taken immediately when I put the boys to bed. I actually started to pick stuff up right before bedtime tonight in order to find a magical green pacifier. It gets cleaned every night and used every single day. I am very lucky to have this space.

Oh and yes...you can see two loads of laundry that need to be folded on the couch in the living room.

4. New recycle bin

I asked for recycling for Christmas. Is that nerdy? Today they dropped off my new bin. My new, HUGE bin. It is almost full of paper and cardboard and I have only had it for one day. I am TRILLED to have this addition to my life. Thanks mom and dad!!

5. Garage will be organized soon

I actually took this picture to show a snap an image of how crazy my garage is right now. With only one car I just seem to keep putting things out there for "storage." I would like to point out...there are MORE TOYS out there. In this picture you can see the awesome wagon we got from Erin and Jess that is filled with toys from the toy room.
