Trying to "clean up"

So I spent most of this morning trying to get this site looking a bit "cleaned up". Took me a little while, but it's getting there.

Also trying to get this house cleaned up... Why is it that you can spend an entire day cleaning and when your husband gets home, it actually looks worse then when he left that morning???

This weekend Amanda, Gina and I went to the country fair at St. Paul's church and then headed over to the town wide garage sales in Monee - we were dissapointed that there weren't as many sales as last year, but we still managed to spend money we didn't need to. Saturday night we were headed over to my mom's so Brian could help my mom carry in a Treadmill that she purchased at said garage sales, when an excited Kaylin (who was carrying a "special" umbrella that I got for her at the sales) was trying to head out the door, must've not been looking where she was going and tumbled down the stairs to the back door. I of course ran when I heard the horrible noise and stood in horror at the sight at the bottom of the steps. I don't know how she didn't break her neck in the position she was laying in - her face was on the floor and her legs where still on the steps with the umbrella laying on top of her. Luckily she only cried for a minute and all that I saw was a scratch on her noise. But the more I look at her, the more I think she may have broke her nose. It doesn't look broke, but she has slightly dark circles under her eyes and it looks a bit swollen around her nose. Oh the joys of parenthood!

Sunday we went to Calvary for church, then back to Mom and Dad Englers for lunch (Brian's great aunt and uncle were in town). Then we went back to our house for a Bears kickoff get-together. Jacob and Sarah (and her 2 brothers), Kevin, Hanna and Thor, and Caleb joined us. Bears actually won - Something strange is going on here...
