we had a great family day today.
and i have no pictures to show you.
but i will tell you that i got to sleep in until like, 7:30.
so that rocked.
then i got to sit at the computer & read blogs and facebook while aj made orange pumpkin shaped pancakes because he rules like that.
then we started working on the garage.
then we went and looked at a few houses that are possibilites.
then we had lunch at chic fil a and made the boys' day.
then we came home & worked on the garage for most of the afternoon.
then we went on a walk to the park with the boys and finley nearly rode his bike into oncoming traffic.
and aj & i nearly had heart attacks...as well as random lady at the park.
then i said i didn't want to make anything for dinner so we hopped in the car & picked up pizza.
then we came home & had a picnic on our office floor with the boys and watched little house on the prairie.
we are starting from the beginning.
we're on season 1 episode 9.
the boys love it.
then boys to bed.
then hot chocolate.
then we watched friday night lights online.
then we went through a few more boxes.
i swear there are 492 boxes labeled "memory box" in our attic.
shoot me now.
i spent a good chunk of the day sitting on the garage floor, reading through old letters, since i had saved every card/letter ever written to me.
even if it only said, "love, mom" or "your friend in christ, karen"
i gave myself permission to toss 89% of what was in those boxes.
all that reminiscing makes me feel weird.
and i still have more to go through.
but i'm maxed out for the day.
the end.

But obviously, you won't get rid of the one that says "Your friend in Christ, Karen" because that's spesh-ul. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate moving.
Haha to Karen's comment. I am the same way and finally realized I need to throw out things like post-it notes that said "I love you" even though it broke my heart to do so. :-)
ReplyDeletekaren, obviously. that goes without question. and i found some fantabulous pictures of you that may find their way to the retreat.... :) Krista--ummm, i have to make myself do that too!
