Nothing too exciting

I thought about giving my blog a new face. You know, Blogger recently invited us to check out some new templates. I went through and tried a couple, but I am so indecisive. Not only am I indecisive, I find that I am more and more attracted to the cleanest option available. Background pictures wear me out. Clutter makes me shudder. Sometimes I watch Hoarders Burried Alive and think I may have the opposite of that disorder. Cleaning things out and throwing stuff away feels awesome. If I'm trimming the bushes in the front of the house, it's hard to stop because the less bushy the bushes are, the happier I get. I love a smooth, empty counter top. So anyway, that's why my blog is staying all white. :)

I wish I had an awesome story to share and some great pictures, but I haven't used the camera and we're just having a nice, slow summer. We play outside until we see too many bugs and we all run in crying (I say we, I pretty much mean Claire and then Kate just adopts this behavior from Claire). They were being so quiet out there one day, I peaked out and saw that they were both standing in the middle of the yard clutching each other and just looking around with sad, scared faces, overwhelmed with all the flies and ants around them.

Exciting days are ahead. I'll post great stories and picts then.

I'm a fan of the white. :)

Emily's been freaking out about bugs for a while now, and now she's taken to smooshing them (as long as they're really tiny) with inanimate objects.

My boys delight in crushing or catching bugs, but poor Alayna has the same phobia as your girls - lots of screaming and running and crying outside :) Lovely.

I'll have to bring some spickets for the girls to see. Then the other bugs will be like no big deal.

I gave my blog a new face and it is neat and clean. PS. I'll be back on facebook in like a week. I just needed a break from taking facebook breaks.
