Closet

First and Foremost, I want to state that I do NOT usually color-code my shirts. I really don't have time for something that silly.

Today, I am going through me and Brandon's clothes (we did the kids' last weekend). As I am hanging up my millions of shirts, I begin to see a pattern. I do tend to wear more neutral colors, they're safe. However, after my 14th brown shirt, I had to see what was really going on.

Here is the proof. I have more shirts in black, brown, tan, white and grey, then all of my other shirts combined. I have 3 identical white shirts, and 2 identical brown (with the same one in grey). I think I need to venture out of my comfort zone!

In my defense, while in Park City for Scrap Retreat, I bought 6 shirts, and only one of them was brown...all the others were original colors!

This is a picture of my mom's family taken in 1964. They were in Disneyland. My Aunt Lorraine is on the left, being held by Jimmy (who died a couple of years later), my uncle Lynn, and my mom, JoAnn. I thought it was so fun to see.

This is Easter, 1965. I love that we have these pictures still. Thanks Lorraine!

School Days

I waited to blog this, because I wanted to do ALL the kids, and Olivia and Alex started Kindergarten yesterday.

Hudson is in 4th grade, and has Mrs. Sawyer (who we have heard wonderful things about). He had to move desks the first day because he and his neighbor were talking, but his new neighbor is much quieter, and his old neighbor is now bugging the kid next to him! As long as it's not Hudson.

Thomas is in 2nd grade!!! His teacher is Mrs. Wood. She is fabulous, Hudson had her for 2nd grade (but then she was Miss Ellis, so I am really struggling!). He has several friends in his class, and brought home his first homework pack yesterday. He was not a happy campeter!

Liv and Al are in afternoon Kindergarten. They both have Mrs Thurgood, and she is so sweet and kind and just perfect for a kindergarten teacher. They were totally bummed that they didn't get to start school the same day as their brothers, but loved it yesterday!!!

I had no tears, or any real sadness about them all being in school. It will be strange to not have little ones underfoot ALL THE TIME, but I think I can get used to it. I am just glad they are all happy with where they are right now, and that they are such awesome kids. I must have done something right at some point to deserve them!!!
