Weekly Challenges

Here is the next challenge I am going to be doing! This is pretty exciting stuff for me because I don't consider myself very organized. So this is a great time for me to turn over a new leaf and these new weekly challenges are going to be awesome! Join me in this new challenge!

Week in pictures

Here are some pictures I was able to get this past week while we laid around trying to get better...in all aspects!

My poor sick baby! Look at how yucky she feels...you can definitely see it in her eyes! Poor baby girl!

CaUtIoN!!~

I think it may be safe to say that we have had quite the week in our house! Last Saturday Ryan sprained his ankle....pretty bad I might add and hasn't been able to move as well this past week so he took a couple of days off of work. Poor guy....although it was hard for me to have sympathy for him (which I have apologized for...) and I do feel bad because he was in a lot of pain. Sydnee came down with something so nasty! Poor girl had a double ear infection, croupe and fever...she could hardly hold her head up! One day I sat her on the floor and she just toppled right over! She wanted to lay on us and sleep pretty much all week. So I have been the care taker of these people and of course the other two kiddos who both get headcolds this week. Yay! Then Wednesday evening while making dinner I burned my hand and I got a nice blister to show for that. I think we need to put "caution" tape around our house because we have been a total case this week! Hopefully with the start of a new week we will be back to our normal selves.... Ryan has been doing some rehabilitation on his ankle which has helped tremendously! Sydnee can hold her head up and she is looking and feeling better every day. Rylee and Nate still have colds but Tis the Season, folks! My hand is on the mend...still has a nice blister but isn't hurting like it did any longer. So...here's to hoping for a less traumatic week! Maybe I will be able to finish blogging about my 21 days of organization which I did and pretty much finished (except my photos)...just not really any great pictures to go with the days...darn it!

Darn Ankle!!!!!!!!!

Well I was told I had to get on here and post and let everyone know why Tris hasnt done any of her Organization, its all because of me and my ankle, sprained it playing church ball, went up to get a rebound and came down on somones foot, between the crunching and popping that I felt it is a Moderate to Severe sprain, luck me right, thanks to Tris for taking care of me and helping out, I know I am sure not much help around the house since it happened.

Day 18: Keepsakes

Today was to organize Keepsakes but I must admit that I don't really have much in this area. At least that I can really think of. I have started a little stack of things from Nathan's first year in Elementary School...Kindergarten but I have only kept a few things so far. Hopefully I will be able to keep on top of it and keep it organized as my kids get older and we hold on to more keepsakes. So sorry no pictures today! :( Tomorrow there will be some good ones....hopefully!

Day 17: Mail System

Here is my mail system that definitely did NOT work! It's the black baskets stacked with all that STUFF!
So I took the idea from A bowl full of lemons and this is the new one that I hope I can MAKE work! Here's to getting organized!

Life...pure sweetness!

Here is what our day consisted of...

Sydnee is getting pretty close to crawling so somehow she gets to anything she wants! Today it happened to be Nate's camera he left on the floor. To get there she was putting her bum in the air and then pushing herself forward with her feet. She is just too funny.

Nate and Rylee were downstairs playing and came up dressed like this....

And this...they crack me up!

Nate wanted to take a picture of me so I made Rylee join the picture.

I love this baby girl!!

Sweet baby girl!

Sydnee loves blankets...even if it is Rylee's.

Playing with her cellphone...

Day 16: Refrigerator

Okay so I feel like I say the same things everytime I post another organization post. I won't bore you with a long post. I did get rid of somethings that were old and definitely outdated! Then I scrubbed all the shelves out and put the things back in where they needed to be. Here are the results!
