Overwhelmed With Clothes

Clothes that no longer fit the kids, that is. My goodness, we have so many boxes and boxes of clothes. I even sold a bunch in a yard sale over the summer and donated the rest. Then I sold some in a consignment sale and donated what was left. I am in the process of going through the tons of boxes now and deciding what will be donated and what of Lenny's clothes will be saved for Nathan. It's so sad in a way to look at all of these cute clothes and to just give them away and not know who is getting them. It takes me even longer to go through them because I remember the babies and Lenny wearing them and it's difficult to get rid of them but I really need to. If anyone needs any, please send me an e-mail to let me know. I would much rather give them to someone that I know. I will be donating them this weekend.

At least Brooke and Nathan aren't going through sizes as quickly now that they are getting older. Thank goodness!

Here are some more pictures of the kiddos.

This morning I was in the kitchen cleaning up breakfast and I noticed that the channel on the TV changed. I glanced in the family room and this is what I saw. No kidding.


Nathan had climbed up on the chair by himself and changed the channel. Silly boy. He gets on the couch and chair by himself all the time now. He is definitely a climber. The other day, I heard him making noises so that I would look at him. And this is what I found.


Mealtime is interesting in our house.



Where's Nathan?

From the Mouth of a Three Year Old

I actually have two stories and they are both from today. Lenny found my hair clip and put it on his finger like it was biting it. He said, "Mommy, say abre to open it." It took me by surprise. I didn't realize that he knows Spanish except for his numbers that Dominic taught him. He really does pay attention to Dora and Diego. He also has a book that teaches you Spanish. I always feel bad because he doesn't learn other languages at home like he would have in daycare.

The other story happened this evening. Dominic and I were playing with the kids in the family room after dinner. We were watching Sesame Street and they were showing different animals. A deer showed up on the screen. Lenny said, "Oh dear, it's a deer." And he started laughing. Dominic and I just looked at each other and started laughing.
