dyk BUT everywhere we go, people give them a stuffed animal (beanie baby style) or like today - at Lake Hardware, they helped with the chicken wire, so the lady at the checkout gave them each a set of really neat keys
dyk they don't DESERVE all this stuff, lol, how do I get people to stop giving them stuff? And WHAT is it about my kids that makes people - EVERYONE want to buy them things?
dyk and as soon as my feet relax a bit, the kids and I are going to fill the seed starter with the plants that need to get started in there -
dyk I will of course take pictures
dyk my mom found little metal colored hand rakes, shovels and hoes (hos?) and left them on our porch for the kids - I think she got them at the Target spot - I love that place haha
dyk well, Deklan was playing but Abigail actually cleaned the entire room up - quickly
dyk she already has an early bedtime, seems she didn't want it any earlier, haha
dyk so we got out the chore chart I made, found a place to hang it up, awarded star stickers for the chores they have done and now they are brushing their teeth in order to get another sticker

dyk and we got this cool seed starter for the two plants that need to be started inside and then relocated to the garden in 6 weeks
dyk it's a tray on the bottom to collect moisture and then the paper/wood cup things - holds 50 plants
dyk and we got a bag of potting soil to get those started
dyk and we were out and about for 4 hours and now I think my feet are going to fall off!
dyk I wore my good shoes, but 4 hours was a bit too much it seems
dyk and you've never heard kids moan and groan (well perhaps some of you actually have! haha) over bringing in the groceries the way my two did
dyk they swore up and down they couldn't carry a gallon if milk
dyk and then it turns out Sean got 2 gallons last night at HEB
dyk so we have 4 gallons of whole milk - ROFL
dyk and I have a problem:
People keep giving my children stuff.
dyk that sounds stupid, I know

dyk I have yet to figure out how to secure the kids bottom drawers in their dressers
dyk so of course every article of clothing they own is on the floor
dyk GRRRR
dyk they are supposed to be putting them away right now but I can hear the start of an ellaborate scene game beginning in there with their toys
dyk I am super excited about the new bookshelf and have already found the perfect place for it in the guest room
dyk fits great
dyk and it will be really functional for all the school stuff and board games
dyk I didn't actually expect to find what I was looking for - I thought I'd find something and have to "make it work" or "make do" with it -
dyk and as soon as my feet relax a bit, the kids and I are going to fill the seed starter with the plants that need to get started in there -
dyk I will of course take pictures

dyk how about the "better than sex trifle"?
dyk well, Deklan was playing but Abigail actually cleaned the entire room up - quickly
