bungaree cleaning

These cleanings happen around here at the bungaree menagerie somewhat more infrequently than they'd like, but mostly they like making a mess.

bunk love



The joys of sharing, sharing toys, a room and really almost everything. I love that we have two boys that can grow up together, play together, fight and forgive, and that they get to have bunkbeds. I always have loved bunkbeds, and now my boys do too.

J says that his is a tree house and O's is a cave. We got these set up a couple of weeks ago. They have been sharing a room since November. They really like their beds, and they love being in the same room. O has slept so much better since we put them together. He used to get scared at night, I think that since he is in the same room with is brother he feels safer. I would, J is a fierce warrior! :) Good times.

the sun came out in oregon

There aren't many days here in the fall, winter, or early spring where the sun just shines. When we get those days we grab our sweatshirts as fast as we can and scramble outdoors. There were a couple such days this last week, and since all of the sudden my boys have an increase (BIG increase) in energy, I started bringing them to the track. They are loving it, they beg to go. All we do is run around and around on it until one of them doesn't want to anymore then we stop and walk home.

I am amazed at how much more positive and happy we all are when we don't have cabin fever from being closed inside for months on end. We've gone out there three times this week. They don't even know it but they can run a mile! Yeah, no worries I did track and have no urge to get my kids into it until they are ready....but it is still so neat to see that energy being put to good use.

Bring on the sunshine!

each boy found his number.






resting, sweet boy.
