than Liam...and he's 5 years younger! Liam is a perfectionist...he's afraid he'll screw up, so he doesn't do anything!

I know that part of the problem is a lack of storage. I am torn between giving the boys my dresser for game storage and getting rid of it and getting shelves. The truth is, I don't use it. It is a behemoth...one of those 6 drawer number that is 3 drawers on each side. I keep my t-shirts and sweaters on a set of shelves downstairs...they're too bulky to fit in drawers anyway.

If I did that it would open up some room in their bedroom for the stuff they use more often.

The PS game thing just bugs me to no end, tho. I bought Liam one of those notebooks to store his games in. The problem is, I guess it's full. We have too many of everything. They have a huge notebook and two smaller wallets of computer games and a huge notebook of PS games. I should move all the jewel cases to the garage for storage, I guess. I just wish I had the money to buy a nice system to organize stuff!!!

I haven't gotten much more cleaning done today. I still have carpets to work on. I spent an hour or so trying to track down addresses for two of Liam's buddies so I can mail invites. One of the kids moved to Kentucky. I'm hoping Maribeth can get me the other addy...she should have access to it. If not, that kid will just get his invite the first day of school.

I have a friend who wants Teiguen's old clothing...problem being that it will be an hour each way to meet her to hand them off. This week is crazy. I guess we could do it after work Monday, but then I'd be in rush-hour traffic AND I'd have to come home to finish getting packed to leave Tuesday morning. I might ask her if we can just get together next Sunday or something!

Oh, and I did get pictures made and trimmed and into my tote bag. A couple of years ago I got one of those totes that has room for 9 photos on the front. I got it free with an order from the Disney catalog. I used it part of that year. Last year I just never got around to it...I decided to get this year's photos in while the getting was good, lol!

I still can't decide for sure what to do in St. Louis Tuesday. We can't check into the hotel until 4. I don't know the pool hours...it's an indoor pool, but I'd guess they'll still say it's closed after 10 pm. If we have a room right off the pool I KNOW the boys will want to swim...but if we go to the free hours at Magic House we'll get back too late.

Maybe we'll just do the free stuff at the science museum and leave it around 3:30 so the kids can swim from 4 to 5, then get dressed quick to get to Magic House by 5:30. We can swim again the next morning for a couple of hours...the check-out is 11 and the concert isn't until 3.

I'm glad my kids don't want to do the zoo...it's supposed to be over 100 again this week!
