Since Christmas, Owen and Autumn have been very very busy playing with all their new toys. I went on a MAJOR cleaning spree around the house to reorganize and de-clutter to make space for all their new stuff. Brandon and I cleaned out all four of our closets and came up with bags upon bags of old stuff to donate/give away. Once all the closets were all cleaned out and organized I made my way for the play room. I have 3 full bags of old toys, broken toys and no longer used toys to get rid of. That made tons of new space to put all their new stuff. Once I got everything cleaned out I made my way to Target to get a few storage bins to make things look nice and tidy. I feel so good now that everything is all cleaned up and organized and I am sure all our old stuff is getting more use somewhere else than it was here.
Owen and Autumn love playing with their new Little People Barn. It makes lots of fun animal sounds. They play with this so nicely together. Thanks Mimi for getting Autumn such a fun gift. It is getting tons of use!
Owen’s Aunt Bev and Uncle Don sent him two really neat floor puzzles, a USA one and a Solar System one. They know him too well. Owen has become obsessed with puzzles. He is really good at 25-60 piece puzzles and can complete them with no assistance what so ever. Here he is putting together the solar system puzzle. Another obsession of his is space. I love how much his little mind is growing and learning lots of new things.
Autumn’s Auntie JoAnn and Uncle Bob sent her a super cute set of dress up clothes for Christmas. She really loves to play dress up and prance around the house in these adorable dresses. Well, Owen did not want to feel left out so he decided to dress up with her. Haha. He got all dressed up with her and then quickly got embarrassed and took off the dress. He cracks me up!
Autumn’s hair is finally getting long enough to do some cute little hair styles with. Here is my new favorite hair style for her!
On Thursday we were just hanging out and decided to get out of the house to burn off some energy. With nothing to do we decided to take the kids to the mall to play in the play area since it was too cold to do anything outside. When we got to the mall play area it was PACKED! There were kids everywhere and no empty seats for the adults. Bummer. We went upstairs and let the kids ride some of the motorized toys instead. Then we walked around to burn off some energy and headed home. It made out to be a fun family afternoon out despite not being able to go play as planned.

I love these two so much!
