Cleaning The Garage

Many of you know I took on the lovely task of literally cleaning and organizing every square inch of my house after I got released. Every square inch meant that anything we didn't know what to do with...got put in the garage. Our garage quickly filled up with lots of junk! One fine hot Saturday Jason decided to clean the garage....while cleaning the garage we found lots of interesting things including Nate's old frog costume he wore several years back which of course Tyson had to put on. He is especially fond of this costume because his favorite color is green. I hope he still likes it by October so I don't have to buy him a new costume!

The second picture you may wonder...what in the world is this??? Well....while we were cleaning the garage Nate was trying to "hook" up the battery to his quad. Jason quickly explained that it was dangerous, told him to leave it alone...blah...blah...blah. The next morning we leave for church...we walk into the garage only to step into a garage filled with the smell of about 100 dead rats. It was awful but we couldn't figure out what it was! When we came home from church....somehow we ventured over to the quad and wahla! Nate had hooked up the battery charger Saturday afternoon....so yes it had been sitting (hooked up wrong I might add), plugged in for about 24 hours. It took a couple days for the smell to go away. I think since turning 9 nate has had a new motto he lives by. "If mom and dad say no....do it anyways!" Gotta love it! I feel as if I am already raising a teenager! This kid will be lucky to be alive by the time he turns 18! LOL!
