Cleaning

Son3's new buzz cut for the summer...

I have many projects I was hoping to accomplish this summer... But with having to work full time, keeping the boys entertained and son1 moving in; the summer is half over already... This is the Art Room... I need to organize all the school supplies and craft projects... See those two trunks under the table; that is all my cards, letters and mementos from my childhood that I have been wanting to look through... Some day...

Son3's room definitely needed some deep cleaning this summer... These are the before pictures...

And these are the after pictures... I spent one afternoon last week; removing all the movies, books, school papers, food and cups, getting all the toys together in one place and vacuuming, dusting, washing bedding and general cleaning...

Now I just need to label the drawers and sort all the toys back into the drawers...

Happy Journaling...

Pets

We've had this cat play thing for a while, not that any cats ever played in it... until Son1's dogs moved in and Pistol was sleeping in and Holly said, 'No, that's mine'....

She hasn't played in it since though and Pistol has since ripped the heart toys off and pulled out all the stuffing...

This was Pistol's first morning... He had found an almost empty bag of soil to play with during the night... Son1 and the dogs and WeeMan the hamster have been moved in almost two weeks now... However Son1 is off on a road trip with his dad across country... His dad drives big rigs... So we are now dog sitting for a couple of weeks... Pistol has also found the automatic sprinkler wires and chewed through those, hubby has since fixed them and put a box over the system... He dug up a few of my pots with seeds, so plants have been moved to the front yard and the yard has been doggy proofed of any other dangers... He did get hold of a pool ring and chewed on that, lol...

We bought him his own pool so he could keep cool this summer... It's already 95 today at 11am...

This is Danny... He's three years old and is an inside dog... He is terrified of Holly and spends most of his day behind the couch.. so Holly spends most of her day either outside or in my room.... Right now he is sitting under me hoping I drop a Cheeto...
