Wordless Wednesday

A Work in Progress

After diving in head first to the mess that was my house I soon realized that it would be better to devote today to the upstairs. I just now finished dusting, vaccuming( which included crevicing). So here are some before and after pics of upstairs. I did not get to the closet and I still need to organize the cabinets in the bathrooms, but all in all I think I did pretty darn good today!

Starting New

Today I am going to try to totally overhaul my house..( try being the key word there) I have been in the process of fall cleaning my house. In doing this I have created a mess. I have started big projects and have had to stop them in the middle of things. Children have a way of making that happen. lol So I am hoping I can get rid of all the clutter in my house ( a girl can dream). The bathrooms need to be cleaned really well, the laundry needs to be done AND PUT AWAY! That area is where I am always lacking.. My husband refers to it as Mt. Saint Patience. LOL I want all the sheets changed and new ones put on. I am hoping to do most of this while Austin is at Tiny Tots this morning. Hopefully, this will work out! Sorry this is a random post but felt like sharing ... haha Here are the before shots... i will post the after shots later this evening.

Are you ready for some football?!

Brett has now entered the world of flag football. Last Saturday was his first practice and he enjoyed every minute of it. John, Austin, and I were there cheering him on. He would look over at us and wave. He also told JOhn.. "Dad, I am really good at this.. this is easy for me!" He is a modest child.. yes he is! The coaches kept cracking up at his very infectious laugh. Brett, can always find the humor in any situation. When he laughs it is impossible not to laugh right along with him. I am sure this football season will be loads of fun for all involved. Our baby boy sure does make us proud!

Saying Goodbye

Today I have to say goodbye to a good friend of mine, Rachael and her son Jett. We arrived in Hawaii the day Jett was born. I have enjoyed spending time with them while they were staying with us. It is sad to see them go but I am excited for them as they get to start on a new journey in Hawaii and Anthony and Rachael don't have to be apart anymore. Rachael is going to be a stay at home mom and I commend her for it! It is one of the hardest yet rewarding jobs there is. Thank you for your service in the military, Rachael! I am excited for what is to come for the Gonzales Ohana!! Love yall!

Austin's First Day at Tiny Tots!

Today was Austin's first day at Tiny Tots. We were very worried about how he would react to being left there. He always screams when we leave him and never stays anywhere. He of course cried when we left him but we were pleasantly surprised that he stayed and did really well! He even brought a craft home! So sweet! John also gave me a good surprise and took that day off and took me to breakfast..and then we came home and snuggled on the couch. He took a nap and I read! It was WONDERFUL!!! We ended the morning with a happy meal and then he took a really long nap.. He is such a cutie pie!

It has been WAY too long!

I have been slacking in the blogging department lately. The latest big even in the Thompson home was our baby boy starting school! He did great and is loving it! Austin is starting a Mom's day out program tomorrow morning for two days a week and 3 hours each day. I think this will be good for both him and me seeing as though he cries if he loses sight of me. The change might be hard at first and can u believe this i almost teared up thinking about him being gone.. lol I know I'm crazy haha.. but i do love my boys. It will be nice to have a little time to myself though. These boys keep me quite busy but I love em!
