The one with a crazy cleaning day.

Everyone knows how much I loathe to unpack--it can take me weeks, which I am ashamed to admit.  I just hate it so much.  And I still am not 100% why.

BUT this time I did it all within a few days!! That was like a record I tell you.

I wish I had taken a before and after picture of my room--I had to convince Nicole that it didn't usually look like it did.  There were piles and piles and piles of laundry, and stuff all over.  I couldn't believe it.  We tackled it all on Monday, got Lucas room put together, and moved some stuff around, and the bathrooms, the laundry room, all the laundry, and our room and bathroom all done, and the garage--almost all of it.  It felt so good to get it all done.

Nicole has been super helpful with Luca, she even attempted a nap with him one day when he wouldn't.  By the way--he's totally good on them now--hallelujah!!

I just found this guy when Sara was talking about how much her boys looks change in the first year--Lucas, not so much.

Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner, and the sprinklers came on again, so daddy and Luca went out again to play--it was freezing cold water this time, but it didn't seem to phase Luca, he was still mad when he had to come back in.

While we were cleaning and organizing Lucas room--into a more big boy room--we found these things, Luca wore them around for a bit.

Luca tried out his tricycle while we tackled the garage, and threw away all the trash--Nicole was helpful then too--she stayed out there with him, we can't see that sidewalk from in the garage.
