Cleaning Bug

I was talking to Mom a few minutes ago and she asked me, what's up with the cleaning spree (not quite in those words, but same theme). The girls have been pulling out more and more toys, and I was tired of tripping over them. So we clean. Also we are going to be moving in Feb or March of next year, and I am pretty sure to a smaller place. Since the reason for the move is to save money we will be looking for a smaller place. Smaller place means less room. Less rooom means less junk. So if we start to decrease the junk now it won't hurt as much as if I was trying to do it all the month before the move. Besides the girls really have too much stuff (as does their mommy).


Some pictures from Mom and Dad's place. This was the visit in May. I let Dahlia and Bobbie pick the pictures to put in the blog so here they are.


Dahlia and Bobbie will do anything to get a free ride off of someone. Even climb in a wheel barrel (Admittedly I am a bit jealous. It's been years since I've had a ride in one, but I think this is one of those things that you have to be a kid to enjoy.)


Most of the parks around our place do not have swings. I am guessing for liability reasons. So the girls love to go on the swings wehn ever we find any. Bobbie fell off of her swing a few minutes later, but mommy didn't take a picture of that.



Dahlia was determined to go down this 'slide' but wasn't sure if she was old enough since she thought it was for reallybig kids like . . . 4-5 year olds. Mommy and Grandma thought it was more for 7-8 year olds. But Dahlia kept edging towards it so we decided to have her go down it when we were there.

Where Dahlia goes, Bobbie will follow. Though she was little enough that we mostly held her up so she could go down it. Mommy even went down it, but she was holding the camera so no pictures were taken.


Look Grandpa found a snake. Of course the girls wanted to see it, and touch it. Dahlia then told everyone at daycare there was a snake living somewhere in her house. Ummm NO!! They got a laugh out of it when I explained where the snake was.
