It's starting to get cool at nights, we have had windows open for weeks now and my goal is to hold out as long as possible before cranking on the heat. The daytime temps get us toasty in the afternoon but chilly in the early mornings. But I am dreaming of that lower electric bill and vowing to hold out. We currently have 4 kids in 4 different locations. I am home while Nolan squeezes in a nap. Sweet boy is such a trooper and just rolls with all of the busy-ness that we have, so I try to get naps in at home as much as we can. Robert just left with Gavin for baseball pictures and a game. Zachary is at a birthday party down the street and Jakeb is at a friends house. Yesterday we enjoyed a day mostly at home and enjoyed the fall weather rolling in. Today is sunny and breezy with just enough sun to be warm. A great day for baseball.
I haven't written much lately...not for any reason other than I sit down to type and my thoughts don't really flow. Driving in the car, taking a shower, sipping my coffee in the morning those are my thoughtful moments, well my most thoughtful. We moved furniture around in the boys rooms this morning. Nothing major...unbunked the beds and are shifting toys and what not again to the basement. Slowly but surely getting the basement back into a "hang out" room of sorts for the kids and for us.
Our laundry list of things that need to be done in the house continues to grow but I still feel content here. It's nice to have that feeling. I didn't feel it in our other homes as much...I knew they were stepping stones of sorts. I don't think we will be here forever but at the same time can almost see and feel that. This house isn't all that I dream and envision but it's close...the big yard with a creek and room to grow. The fixing of things and the lay out a resounding NO. But we will get there one step at a time. The boys are happy here. It's home for sure.
The burst of energy I get at season change is always nice to get things done and shuffle things right out the door. We always talk about garage sales and consignment sales and while I know the money is there to earn back...the work is just not worth it right now. So out they go to good will or to new homes. The ever growing mound of clothes I have needs to shrink some how. Now with the foster care adventure fast approaching I need the extra clothes but the "for who" part is tough. So I have to hold onto some and some things go. So season changes are good for me, a clean out is always good.
Enjoy the day friends!
