Nathan- you said you didn't know what was going on in our house since I hadn't updated our blog in a while, so here goes Nathan (& anyone else who might be reading).
You've been working on the deck when you get a free minute. After trying to preserve part of it, you decided to start from scratch. It doesn't look like much has been done, but progress should speed up quickly from here on out.
I started a chore chart for Kaleigh. She has to clean her room at night, brush her teeth 2x a day, and help me put away dishes. When she does these things she gets a sticker. If she gets enough stickers at the end of the week, she gets to do something fun with one of us.
The twins are now climbing on everything. They get up on the couch, then climb onto the kitchen counter. I'm running out of safe surfaces to keep things from them, so I actually have to put things away! Alexis has started hitting a lot recently. I pinch her hand when she hits somebody so she resorts to hitting furniture and toys when she's mad. Kaleigh's sweet though, she tells me "It's okay if Alexis wants to hit me". Those girls are destructive. They have pretty much broken Emory's swing from getting in it themselves and bouncing up and down. They've also climbed into her bouncer on top of her. They keep me on my toes for sure!
I went garage saleing last week since my parents were here. There were two big neighborhood sales. I got a bunch of stuff for the kids, especially shoes, Yay. My best buy was an almost new, pink pack & play for $25. Love me some garage sales! But don't worry, even with the pack & Play I only spent around $60 total.
Since it was raining Saturday and you couldn't work on the deck, we actually hung a few pictures in the house.
I just ordered a photo flipbook from Snapfish. It was supposed to be $30 but I used the coupon code ALLYOUMOM and got it for 1.99! That includes shipping! It's just a little spiral book that has a picture on each page and holds 45 pictures.
That's about all for now. Hopefully you will get the deck finished soon and we can talk face to face again!

Lots going on at the Statton household! I can only imagine the destructive nature of two at once! Later, you will laugh at it all, but I can imagine that right now it isn't all funny. Keep the faith. You are doing a great job.
What a busy time for you all! Glad Nathan is almost finished with the deck...I'm sure you are looking forward to going in the backyard with all the girls to play! Thinking of you during those tough days!
Ha! Funny post. You do have a lot going on right now. I bet the deck will be so nice when it's finished. Especially starting from scratch again. I saw you at our neighborhood garage sale as we were driving by. Glad you found some deals!
