A rite of passage in a household with four children: NO BABY GATES

The first half of our Saturday was very lazy.

Blueberry Muffins, made with our blueberries picked last weekend...



Lounging in pajamas...







Keeping Amelia out of everything (the fruit bowl in this picture), because of her love of pushing chairs around to reach the things she desires...



But the second half of our Saturday...much more exciting. We removed the baby gates from the stairs! Amelia can now manuever them just fine. She does a belly slide down, which I must record. At this point, they are a nuisance and are becoming somewhat of a hazard.

I must include a picture of Jeff, with a power tool, removing the gates.



We're amazed at how open it seems without them!

We then spent the rest of the day organizing the mess of toys the kids have accumulated. We're not quite done, but here's to hoping that all of the bins and organizing ideas will control the chaos.
