(This is what spring/summer/fall looks like at our house!)
So, yeah, it's been a little while! Today is a dark , dismal day - perfect day to blog I figured. I thought I'd just go down the line about what everyone has been up to over the last...say...10 months or so. Lame, I know, but I'm too lazy to figure out a more creative way to summarize so here goes!

- plays "Fantasy Football" with the 3 boys, whatever the heck that is
Well, I feel much better now! I know you've heard it all before, but I'm REALLY ready to start being consistent with this blog thing. I'll do it, I'll do it. For the children, I suppose. Have a great day!
This is what Rachel did today during her "naptime". No, she didn't color, if that's what your thinking. Yes, she unwrapped crayons for two hours in her bed. And this isn't the first time. She's been at it for weeks. When she sees a crayon, she just feels the need to peel off its wrapper. And she'll sneak handfuls of crayons to "work on" in her bed. Granted, I have kids who do weird things. Take Adam for example. He writes notes to himself to remind him of stuff he needs to do. Last week it was this:
"Adam, bring school lunch
I tell you, the crayon thing is becoming more annoying than weird because guess who's vacuum has more crayon peels than dust bunnies? That's right.
