50/50

This weekend's weather was for sure a 50/50 split. Saturday was gorgeous! Temps in the high 60s/low 70s, plenty of sun, just lovely. We cleaned out the toys in the garage--which is always a time-consuming task. Alex is a very blessed boy and he is learning how to sort through toys he may not play with anymore and pass them along to those who don't have quite as many toys. The pile-up is currently under control and we are going to try hard to keep it that way. The cars barely fit in the garage as is, but once we start piling up bikes, wagons, toy lawnmowers...well, you get the idea. I realize now I should have taken some before/after shots.

Today was rainy, cooler, and just yucky. We caught up on a lot of things around the house, which was great, but we were longing to play outside for a bit. Brad hung two wall sconce lights on either side of our bed and they look awesome. Neither of us really enjoy hanging anything on the walls, but these went up rather smoothly and without incident.

Abby is still trying to shake this cold and it is making it difficult for her to sleep. Naps have been few and short in duration and she's been waking up several times a night. Today she spent lots of time in her swing (yes, she's coming around on the swing), in the carrier, under her play gym, giving the Bumbo chair another chance, and being held by ALL of us. Here's hoping that she gets a good night's sleep tonight.
