Michele and the kids are still around and yesterday we didn't leave the house. It was glorious and I found myself looking at the clock wishing time wasn't passing so we could continue the coziness indefinitely. The girls moved from room to room, pretending, painting, gluing, putting together puzzles (pretty much making messes, but happy doing it). The boys spent the day trying to conquer "Sly Cooper 3" - and got along swimmingly doing it. I got rid of a third of the clothes in both kid's closets (I've been waiting for them to grow to finally unload some stuff), took care of important emails, printed off some important documents from our ancient laptop that only works when it wants to, watched the "National Spelling Bee", ordered some organizational things I'm very excited about implementing, and ate some fantastic raspberry cobbler. I think we all loved our "down day".
Today is Sydney's 2nd birthday - so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY! She has really been an excellent dog - what makes us love her so much is what bugs us most - she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES us - so sometimes she has difficult time respecting personal boundaries, but that's a hard thing to fault a dog on. We're very blessed to have her.

When I saw rain on the forecast I was sooo excited. I opened the windows higher hoping I would wake at some time in the night and hear it falling outside. I did and it was so sweet. Crazy how much I miss the (occasional) rain, not the everyday kind of stuff, but a good rain is cleansing. It cleared up although it looks a tad ominous today. I'd be happy with more. Saturday was the first rain I've been in since being in the valley, and I think it was a few months before that here when it rained, so I definitely enjoy it when it happens. What is odd is that the nighttime rain is so common, but by the time you wake up it's gone. I don't know why that is.
Share with us the Organizational stuff you got.
Hollie - the Daily System from Pottery Barn - quite an investment, but those white board calendars and linen push boards make me drool and will mean a lot to me to have in my bonus room.
As for the weather, I currently have 11 kids in my house, 4 moms, and one golden retriever (because I don't want to put her in the rain on her birthday) - so, my attitude has changed a bit about the forecast..... CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!
