It was a pretty typical week this last week. We went to singing time at the library, The girls had their dance classes. Corbin went to scouts. We had a play date. I went and volunteered at the school. We cleaned the house a million times. I am amazed at the volume of messes that can accumulate in a matter of minutes around here. It's like a mess bomb has gone off multiple times a day. That gets really old. Clutter messes get to me and if I'm not on it constantly (which most times I'm not) the house is thrashed all the time. I think that's probably the hardest thing for me about our current stage of life right now. I don't know if it's because we have a lot of kids in a small house or what but it's a constant battle. When everything is cleaned up it's an instant lift. It's amazing. I love it when the kids are in bed and the house is clean and I can watch a show with Scott. Simple pleasures of life.
On Friday my parents came through Boise to go to the airport. They went to Seattle because Kelsey is having her baby blessed today. We went to lunch at Cafe Rio (yum) and then I dropped them off at the airport. I will be picking them back up tonight. After lunch with my parents I drove to the hospital to see Gabe and Christy's new baby. I believe he is still nameless. He looks a lot like Brigitte. He's so tiny. I can't believe how little newborns are.
Yesterday Scott took the kids on a blackberry adventure. He has been wanting to do this forever. It started a little rough when Ryan tripped and fell immediately two times (I swear that boy is blind or just seriously uncoordinated). Piper almost immediately was crying because she wanted to come home. After tears were wiped they were able to have some fun and find some wild blackberries to dig up. He has planted them in our backyard. I hope it works. He planted some raspberry transplants years ago and they have amazingly flourished back there even though nothing seems to grow well back there. Fingers crossed it works. Scott is seriously so excited about it, you'd think he cured cancer he's so excited. Ha. I can't even tell you how much I love to be at my house during the day all alone. Such precious moments. I love when Scott takes the kids sometimes and I get to enjoy my house in peace and quiet. So good!

| For the first day of fall Gabby's teacher had them do several projects with fall leaves. She sure loves school. This morning she said she couldn't WAIT to go to school tomorrow. |
 |
| Ryan is entering that awkward stage where they need a nap but don't need a nap. This is him on a day when he didn't take a nap and he fell asleep on the floor at 5:00 pm. That's the best! |

| Scott took a picture of the kids room before they destroyed it. Ha. |
 |
| Blackberry hunt! |
 |
| Blackberry transplants. Hopefully they work! |
 |
| No name baby boy Beal. Precious! |
