G shows T her finest moves.

1st generation iPod and other randomness

Moving = Packing.
Packing = Discovery of random things
Discovery of random things = WHY do we have that?!!

Some things that fall under the why do we still have that category:

• 1st generation iPod (that doesn’t work) (would be fun to find out what is on there though!) (that things is HUGE compared to the Nano we have now!!)
• trash. (literally, why was trash hiding in some of the boxes we had in the basement?!)
• A glass platter shaped like a leaf with acorns in the middle.
• Letters from middle school “boyfriend”.
• Cards from random birthdays.
• Broken things. These include: picture frames, binders, flatware and more.
• speakers to a computer we don’t have.
• at least 4 old cell phones.

I have been in weed-out mode so probably a good 30-50% of the stuff we had when we moved in here, is not moving out. Well, it is moving out – to the trash.  I blame the fact that we moved all this dumb shit into this house because I was pregnant and I didn’t want to deal with packing at that time.
This time? Not pregnant and moving a whole new persons ridiculously large amount of belongings too.  G has enough toys for 5 kids and enough clothes for at least 6.  I am not so much into purging her stuff, but she is not immune from me donating a few random onesies, blankets and toys. 
It makes me happy to see those boxes packed and the amount of stuff in the garage to be taken to the curb and donated. 
Also, I wouldn’t doubt that once we unpack all this stuff, more will be tossed. 

Summer Lovin’

A few weeks ago I told you all about how fabulous my posts were going to get, remember?  Next up on my posts of fun – summer time.
Or rather, what to do in the summer with a wild and crazy one year old.
She loves her water table. As much as she can love a big plastic bowl that has yet to be filled with water.

She loves to go for wagon rides, if they are short, because she is a big girl and wants to run walk into the street.
The park is fun. Until she wants to eat the various ground coverings.
I would kill to take her to the beach for a long weekend, but the whole moving/becoming homeowners is putting a damper on that plan (or wish, really).
Some things I actually hope we get to do:

• go to a few of the zoos in our state (we are lucky to have a handful of them very close by)
• swim at my mom’s house (every day)
• visit a children’s museum on a rainy day.
• enjoy playing outside and going for walks

What do you like to do with your little ones?  Especially if you work, what is fun to do after work but before the meltdowns begin (which for us, is a window of about an hour…)
What else is fun to do? What are YOUR plans? Inspire me!
