What do you have in your home?

I was thinking the other day what I had a lot of within my home, but laying around.  If someone walked into your home, what would you see.  

In my home, you would see:
  • Soccer balls (Noah loves soccer & so does Ethan.  Ethan was playing soccer since before he could walk.  Noah taught him.  I will get him into soccer when he is a little older.)
  • Dog toys (rope toys mostly.  Zeus & Belle likes theses the best & not those toys that make noises.)
  • Legos
  • PENGUINS (Both of my boys love Penguins.  Ethan carries 3 with him EVERYWHERE & I mean EVERYWHERE! Since Noah saw the movie, Happy Feet, he has fallen in love with penguins! Ethan loves that movie, too!)
  • Husky hair (it is everywhere.  I vacuum every other day.  I have to since I have 2 kids with asthma.  It helps a lot.  We also brush him a lot.  We love Zeus.  I will tell you the story about him soon.)
  • Cars
  • Trucks
  • 2 Turtles (Hannah & Penguin)
  • Lots of Pictures (I want to redo the one frame above the tv in the living room.  It has random pictures in it.  I want to go into Smilebox.  If you have not heard of Smilebox, go there now. I love it.  I pay for it so I can print what I make.  I can send what I make to my friends & family in the mail or as jpeg in an email.  I did this with a picture at Christmas when my brother in law, sister in law, and their 3 kids came to visit us all.  She loved the frame picture.  It had a sweet phrase on it, too.)
  • Lots of DVDs (We do movie nights weekly with popcorn. Our movie night tonight turned into a game night.)
  • Artwork from the older 2 (a fish, butterfly, 3 dishes, a broken mouse.  Broken due to Ethan.  I love when the kids bring home artwork.  I have 2 of Ashleigh artwork taped up on the side of the computer desk.  I also have 1 of Ashleigh's in a frame & 1 of Noah's in a frame.  Both of them are in the dining room.)
  • Coloring Books
  • Paints
  • Paint Brushes
  • Blankets
  • Artwall (which I am going to redo before school starts at the end of August.  I just need to measure & get my husband to Lowe's.)
  • Stuffed Animals especially dogs.  (we have 2 that look like Zeus)
  • Chalkboard Wall (I absolutely love this! I can not wait to start a new school year with this.  With this school year having so many changes, I need to be on top of everything! Move on this later)
  • Books (Kids books & a few of my.  I also have my Nook laying around in its black case)
  • Games (board games, Video games likes ds, xbox, Wii, diji, Leapster.)
  • Nebulizer (Ethan uses this, but Noah uses the inhaler now since he is older.  The nebulizer is on the floor near the bookcase.  We have to use it daily.  It does not make sense to put it away.  When I put it away is when I need it.)
  • Boxes in the hallway (I was given clothes for my boys that I need to organize & put in their closet, but they have not made it there.  They will soon.)
I think that is it.  I am working on getting our home organized before school starts again.  I need it to be organized, but it is hard to do with a bad back.  Any suggestions!

  1. Hi Melissa!
    Thanks for you sweet comment on my blog :)

    Zeus was our first pup... he was a german rottweiler. Fitting since we lived in Germany! He has passed sadly, but now we have Buddha which is our husky! He is INSANELY energetic and yes he does howl and make groaning noises to get our attention! They are great dogs aren't they?!

    Anyway, thanks again for stopping by :)
    Have a great weekend!
