Better than chocolate...

Literally!

For this slightly OCD mother of two, this weekend was a huge success!

Fred was so kind to help me get my garage organized and clean this weekend - I feel like a new woman! I can get my car in there now, and I can get to all my tools (yes, I have a toolbox!) and my Xmas light boxes and even have a convenient place for the kids' bikes. Oh what a feeling!!

Now I just need to tackle all of those unnamed containers of photos, "important" papers, and other half-started craft items that are hogging up my closet space for no good reason. Any volunteers???

Off the road again...

Whew! The kids and I just returned from a 3 day weekend trip with Fred and his 16 yr old son to San Antonio and we all survived. Despite the forecast of really cold, the weather was great, and a relaxing and fun time was had by all. The little kids swam with me, played on the playground, hiked the nature trail with mom and Fred, and learned a few soccer tips with Freddy taking on the rest of us and still kicking our toushies! The big boys even got to watch all the football they could stand.

Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch was very nice and not crowded... I bet the summer is crazy there! hope to go back to float the lazy river when the water is warmer :).

I raked leaves with a little help from the kids (emphasis on little) when we got home today and had to soak in the tub to recover. The oaks in back might be the death of me before they finish dropping all their leaves.

Now I'm just wondering when the Christmas elves are going to arrive to take down my tree...

Stay classy Houston
