Because who really needs sleep?

Okay, so the clock reads 3:51 am. Why am I up? Well about an hour and a half ago, a huge bolt of lightning and a giant clap of thunder rocketed my 4 year old into our bed then as we were going to put her back into her own bed, the tornado sirens went off and we were getting ready to go to the basement when they stopped. So we had to do bed time all over again including changing Val's sheets and giving him a bottle, calming Isa down and getting her tucked in after another potty run and then we finally crawled in bed and now I can't sleep. CURSES! So here are a couple of pics having nothing to do with the storm and everything to do with why we were up.

Val Val the Itty Bitty Pal

That's what we call the little prince around here. Along with the Nugget, things are pretty crazy right now. I had no idea that 2 children was so much more work until I had to get them out of the house while there was a cold snap that hit. Getting those 2 ready to brave the elements was NOT pretty but we made it.

There's also this thing I'm doing for the new year. Maybe you've heard of it but there's this website that's taking over my life called pinterest. It's all crafty and awesome and I saw this way to organize your home in 31 days. Now it may take this overachieving turd only 31 days to clean her already clean house and take pictures of it, I'm tackling 1 project a weekend and hoping I can still find all my stuff by the time Easter hits. Don't get me wrong, I like my chaos, the only thing is that if someone asked me where my car keys were, I would never give the same answer twice and while this wasn't a giant problem, now I need the help so stuff has to have a constant home around here- thus my organizing crusade. It's looking pretty good though, I've got the 2 big closets, my laundry area, and now my kitchen pantry looking so organized I think Martha Stewart herself is pea green with envy at my newly discovered organizing mad skillz.
