Basketball and OCD

Brian finally went over to Holly’s with me yesterday.  We’ve been pretty busy prepping for our move this weekend (it’s our last one for three years… don’t worry) and trying to keep things somewhat normal for our two babies at home, so Brian had been holding the fort down at home while I was helping tend to Holly, Erin and the kiddos.

Brian played basketball with Reilly and Ireland all morning, while Chance played with Kiel and Kelton.

Alli and I went to help organize Holly’s downstairs closet so she… well… more her current house guests, could easily navigate around in there, as well as have more storage space.  It also gave us… well… more me, a good excuse to finally get in there and exercise my OCD skills.  Holly knows I’ve been just WAITING to get my hands on that closet for years.  In normal circumstances, she would NEVER have let me touch that closet… but since we didn’t ask her permission… all’s well that ends well.  Or something like that.

I will not post “before” pictures, but here are some afters of Allison and my handiwork.

We did this just in time for Kelton’s Birthday party today.  Erin said she found the streamers for decorating quite easily.  SCORE!!!  Seriously, that just about made my day.

After Alli’s eye surgery… I’m thinking we should start a business doing this together.  Special thanks to Brian & Kiel for going to Target to get that large plastic storage unit and the little blue containers on the shelf.  As Chance would sing:  ”What’s gonna work… TEAM WORK!”

Holly did come down for a bit to give us some snuggles.  She’s so amazingly strong, and I know it’s because of everyone’s unceasing prayers.

Please keep praying… this is not so much a sprint, but a marathon.

I hate running…

    That pic with the laundry basket was hee-lair-ee-us.

    Still praying. Hope all (moving, planning, helping, being church) goes better than you can possibly imagine. And I know you can imagine pretty wild stuff :)

    Not that I’m obsessed or anything, but is that your printing on the labels? Cuz I might need to copy that handwriting… [i love handwriting styles]

    And I’m praying…
