Fuzzy Pants for Hobbits.

It's been pretty dreary outside lately making it hard to motivate myself to do much of anything.  I have vowed to this year get all of our fall clean up done before the new year is rung in.  But alas, I am now going to use the weather as an excuse for my lack of motivation to clean out the camper, get the lawn mowed and clear off the deck.  It has just started POURING outside and rain walks are the best!  After the Muk Muk was born and I was through recovering from surgery Muk Muk and I went for a walk every day, rain, snow, wind, hail, sun, you name it we were out walking around our neighborhood.  Not so much anymore since I've gone back to work, but we still try to go as much as possible.  Both of us LOVE walk time, but the best walks are always the ones in the rain.  Everyone else is holed up in their nice warm, dry homes and we are out laughing and running through puddles :) and the evil old man who lives up the road is never outside when it's raining.  AND our house has a pretty good view, overlooks the lake and mountains and trees.  So when the rain lets up we get some pretty wicked awesome rainbows too :)  Best part of a rainy day.

Dustin and I have recently almost completed the rearrangement of the inside of our home so that the Muk Muk can roam freely without getting killed (literally, we did not have a safe house at all!). We have a LOT of stuff, so this was no simple remodel. Before we even had a baby our house was full right to the brim with stuff that we use on an almost daily basis, so fitting in a crib and finding new homes for all of our things was quite the task then and we didn't have the safety factor to worry about. Oh and I may have forgotten to mention that the actual size of our house would be more suited for a family of hobbits. Perhaps if our stuff was hobbitsized we wouldn't have had to pack up boxes of stuff to store until the Muk Muk is older and able to understand that throwing knives aren't toys. 

I am running out of days to reach my goal and after re-arranging the inside of our home I have completely run out of motivational energy to get the outside stuff finished up.  So today should be the day that I tackle at least part of the outside clean-up to do list.  But it's raining.  So perhaps my highlights today should include a walk in the rain followed by a hot shower and fuzzy pants. 

The yardwork can wait for yet another day...
