I have put off for way longer than I care to admit organizing the mess that is my kids' 'STUFF'! I'll chip away at a little here and there, but never really finish...I've had friends hang out and help, get it in a good order, and then the kids destroy the progress, and I give up. There are things in the mess that we haven't seen in months or longer, toys the kids have forgotten, toys that aren't played with anymore. I got to a point last week where I knew I couldn't avoid it anymore. We've put in to the powers that be here at the college for either an addition to the house, or a larger house. I'm good either way, I would just really love to increase our space and allow our kids to have their own rooms. Just in case this should come to pass, I don't want to save the steps for a mad rush when it comes to moving rooms, or worse...homes! Start now, enjoy life a little more later...makes sense, no?? We've made good progress, I'm becoming happier as my pile of "to get rid of's" keeps growing! We needed that!!!
The potty progress is increasing, there have been no accidents in a couple of days...and today we have poo!!!! She's even braved going to the potty all by herself and yelling through the house "I peed!!!!". We are so proud!
Tomorrow our plan is to go hike...either Cade's Cove, or one of the easy trails up around Gatlinburg. If we aren't totally exhausted, we may camp out in the backyard tomorrow night. We've made promises, let's hope we can keep them all! :D
Here are some photo updates from the past week:

yay for the continued potty progress! it's been such a long time coming, i feel almost as excited as if it were my own kid, lol! we had poo here today too (i'm only talking about javen here), so for now all is much better with the world.
enjoy your hiking and "camping"! wish i could be doing some of that, or at least some leisurely relaxing! i just keep reminding myself that my chance is coming, soon and very soon :-)
I'm glad to be "camping out" here. . . and am contented for this to be it! : )
Have fun!
