Today has been a fun day! We took the kids to the park for a little while. We met my sister, brother in law, sister in law and her family there. Michael was able to throw and hit the baseball a bit. He used to play baseball quite a bit but it has been awhile. We are thinking about trying to get a co-ed softball team up and running. I played softball for a long time and really miss it. I think it would be a lot of fun. The little kids really enjoyed getting out somewhere different and exploring.

Now that we are home, Michael is out trying to get our garden tilled. We want to go ahead and start tilling and mixing in compost to get the soil ready. If the weather is decent tomorrow, we are going to get out in the yard and start cleaning up. There are several branches and such that need to be moved in order to get everything ready to plant. It won't be much longer before we can get out there and really start working. I absolutely love working in the yard. I have so many plans for it this year. I have several seeds saved over from last year. I'm trying to figure out where I want to plant my herb garden this year. I had several herbs last year but really want to expand it this year. I have a goal of making my Christmas presents this year and that is going to require a lot more herbs. I was thinking a long the lines of herbal soaps, salves, and such. I would like to start them from seed so I need to go ahead and get them started inside within the next couple of weeks.

While he is working outside, I'm working inside...cleaning and organizing. I have the bathroom organized for the first time since we have lived here. We actually have two bathrooms but have found it more efficient just to use one of them this winter. I put each of the kids bath stuff in a seperate basket. That way when it comes time for their bath they can just pull down their basket with their stuff in it and when they are done they can put their basket back on the self. I also put all my stuff in a basket as well. It keeps all the stuff in one spot instead of being spread all over the bathroom. Because in case you don't remember, since we have one bathroom in use, that means there are 7 people using one bathroom! Tends to make things a bit chaotic, especially if things aren't organized! Next I need to organize Kimmie's room, the babies room, and our room in the same fashion. I want to make seperate baskets for each activity so it is easier just to pull down what you need and keep all the pieces/parts/ect in one place.

I saw my cousin for the first time in a couple years this morning. He was passing through Cartersville and asked if we could meet him somewhere. We ended up meeting him for lunch. It was funny though cause you could tell that he was just waiting for the kids to erupt or something. People are just do not see how we manage two that are 10 and a half months apart. But I have to say that they are both very well behaved. Kimmie also helps a ton with them. She is 8 but quite the little mommy! There are times that she needs her own time and space and I make sure that she gets it.

Well.. off to organize!
