Up with the birds

Kileigh was up with the birds this morning. She seems to be winding down a little, but for almost the past 2 hours, she has been squeaking, growling, playing, and rolling all over the living room floor. I was hoping she would sleep in because I was starting to feel a little under the weather. I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose. Not enough to keep me in bed all day, though. The plan this morning is to have a mini-brunch (egg, bacon, and cinnamon rolls) and then go to church.

It's supposed to be 70 today, so maybe we will spend some time in the yard this afternoon. We have a lot of yard work to do to get ready for next weekend. We plan to remove a couple dead bushes, trim some other bushes and the rose bushes, mow, trim up the weeds, and plant some flowers.

We're also busy spring cleaning inside and getting ready for our rummage sale in 2 weeks. We have a pile of clothes & shoes in our garage to take to Goodwill. This pile covers our futon, so let's just say it will probably equal a few trips to drop everything off. I can't believe all the things that we have accumulated over the years that are sitting in our attic, basement, and garage that we need to sell. I already sold a bunch of school stuff, so that area of our attic that used to be consumed with school stuff is much smaller now.

I will post some pictures of the cleanup later in the week.
