Fall Organizing

A full week of school and work in a new location and cool weather.  Fall definitely is here and that means organization at the Lokken house.  The girls spend much of their free time and play with lots of their toys on our screened in porch.  However we must find a home for everything that lives out there all summer (like toys) before winter comes.  So we did some organizing, purging and cleaning to adjust.  I spent the entire day Saturday going through things downstairs under the stairs where we have some storage.  I found notes that I had saved from the 5th grade and lots of newspaper clippings and softball trophies.  We did manage to make some room to bring in the toys and even created a little nook under the stair that the girls have claimed.

Cams found some Halloween teeth, or she forgot to brush her teeth for the past year, i'm not sure which!
 On Sunday we got back to eat at G&G Bergs.  It has been a while and we really have missed it!
 We also decided to bring out the Halloween decorations...I mean might as well, it feels like Halloween.

 The ghost even got to visit the nook under the stairs.
 Oh yeah and we had some time to snuggle with daddy too!
 During our clean, I found a troll doll that Cal gave me when we were dating.  Cambree instantly yelled, "It's an Orphan, can I keep it mom?" I laughed remembering that a troll doll was called an orphan on one of the Toy Story movies.  I said she could keep it, and she played with it along with all the rest of her characters.
 Cambree is just like the boy on Toy Story.  She plays with all of her characters in any setting.  Here the orphan is chasing the smurfs out of the princess house while they are riding in the High School Musical, Sharpay Evans golf cart!  Yep they are all special to her....just like she is to us!
Have a great week!
