One Big Update

I have lots of random pictures with no major events really so I'm just going to post them and tell you about them. Tami took Megan for the day on Sunday and I decided it would be a perfect day to clean out Megan's room. She just had way too much stuff for her to find anything let alone remain interested in any one thing for any given time. We took out two boxes of toys, one for garage sale and one for storage and then a couple of her larger toys that were taking up space. She has yet to ask where anything is that we took out so hopefully she'll be okay with it all. It looks a lot better and she has played in there more today than she has in a long time.

We had new renters move in next door. We have high hopes for her as she's already started doing some yardwork -WATERING - the lawn (imagine that) and looks like she might actually take care of the place. She is probably younger than us and has 3 young kids. Her parents have been over and look like they help her out a lot. We thought the best thing we could do is to go introduce ourselves so that their might be some guilt associated with how their actions might affect us! You know, reverse psychology. Anyway, Megan and I made them cookies (poor us) and brought them over to them. I'm sure by the time Megan is 18 we'll have many of these pictures. Josh took the side of Megan's bed off last week. We were hoping to incorporate the big girl, big girl bed, big girl potty idea all at once. 2 for 3 so far. Megan got to help Papa mow the lawn like a big girl. Dad built this bench in their back yard along with the new fence along the side. Looks cool huh! Now I want one - of each. Megan always asks to brush her teeth after her bath and then to put make up on when I'm doing mine. She's pretty cute. One more reason I always say she's 2 going on 16.
