  • (laughter)

  • - Faster!

  • (screaming)

  • - Is that a baby bump?

  • I think it's a baby bump.

  • - Good morning, friends.

  • We are cleaning out the garage today.

  • So the difficulty with cleaning out the garage

  • is that everything in here is here

  • because I think there might be a time

  • or Kendra thinks we might need it some time in the future.

  • And that's like the hard part with hoarding

  • is you don't wanna get rid of something you might use.

  • But I need to just throw a lot of this stuff out.

  • Cubby, you gonna do some roller skating?

  • - No, I'm doing it with my bike.

  • So then whenever I have to move, I can just roll.

  • - [Father] So you're gonna do that while riding your bike?

  • - Yup.

  • - [Father] That sounds safe.

  • - [Toddler Girl] These are nice babies.

  • If I knew that we--

  • (laughter)

  • - [Father] How are you gonna stop?

  • That's kind of a problem.

  • Do you wanna go down the big hill?

  • - While Jeremy is cleaning the garage

  • with the kids this morning, I am tackling

  • the kids' bathroom closet.

  • Basically we just stuff stuff in there

  • and it's the closet that like when you open the door

  • you hope nothing falls down.

  • I think we could fit a lot more stuff in here

  • if we were just more careful and deliberate

  • about where we put stuff.

  • We'll see if I can get it cleaned up.

  • - [Jeremy] All right, now you're just trying roller skating.

  • (laughter)

  • Whoo!

  • - I need a glasses.

  • - Go and run some errands.

  • All right, so poll question for today:

  • Do you have a garage and do you actually use it

  • for your car or vehicle?

  • Let us know in the poll.

  • - So I'm so excited.

  • I've been ordering tons of home school curriculum

  • and this package I actually ordered yesterday morning

  • and the estimated shipping time was like

  • three to five business days.

  • So I assumed I'd see it like next week

  • and it's here this morning.

  • That's amazing.

  • I love that feeling when something arrives

  • sooner than you expect it in the mail.

  • Like, it's like a Christmas excitement.

  • - Dad, it's getting dirtier in here.

  • - [Jeremy] Oh my goodness.

  • Laura, did you find the winter box?

  • - Uh huh.

  • - [Jeremy] Girl, it's like 95 degrees out here.

  • - I'm good here.

  • I have a jacket.

  • - [Child] You're gonna get hot in here.

  • - Hey, his jacket on.

  • - [Jeremy] Is he gettin' his jacket on too?

  • - Yeah!

  • Just like me!

  • He is.

  • - [Cubby] Are we donating those?

  • - We are, we're donating everything over here.

  • Guys, I'm so excited, we got a big pile upstairs

  • and this pile downstairs.

  • Like just get it out of my house.

  • Like I'm just wanting to clean house

  • and this is our donate pile.

  • - If you want any of it, let us know.

  • Just kidding.

  • - We're gonna donate it.

  • It's hard, Jeremy and I are both people

  • that we like to pull everything out and like deep clean,

  • like really dig in, spend as much time as needed.

  • But our life isn't like that.

  • Like often we only have like certain chunks of time.

  • So we only had two hours to work on the garage today.

  • So we did our best knowing that another day soon

  • we're gonna pull it out and do another two hours.

  • So we're just kind of trying to tackle

  • our organizational things in chunks.

  • And be patient, like it's not gonna be perfect in one time.

  • We're just gonna do our best and make a dent

  • and the next time we'll make a bigger dent

  • and the next time we'll make a bigger dent

  • and we just have to keep at it.

  • (car engine purring)

  • So I totally think I'm starting to show

  • which makes me feel a little crazy.

  • Like, I'm not even 10 weeks.

  • How can I possibly be showing yet?

  • But this is my fifth baby and I've heard

  • you show earlier with every baby.

  • I just, whoa, anyway.

  • Look at this!

  • I don't know if you guys can even see.

  • I'll have to get Jeremy to come hold the camera for me.

  • Look!

  • Is that a baby bump?

  • I think it's a baby bump.

  • I thought I was going crazy the last couple nights,

  • but this morning, I'm like, nope, that's real.

  • Somebody just woke up from her nap.

  • Can you say good morning?

  • - Good morning, Mom.

  • - The kids have been playing over at a friend's house

  • so we're gonna go pick 'em up.

  • Should we go get the kids?

  • - Uh huh.

  • - Where's my keys?

  • Do you know where my keys are?

  • - Right there is key.

  • - [Kendra] Right there they are.

  • Can you get 'em for me?

  • You're such a helper. - I get 'em.

  • Pick this up.

  • - Oh you're gonna pick 'em up?

  • You're still waking up, you goose.

  • Well, our home school curriculum has been

  • slowly arriving and I've been opening up boxes

  • and going through stuff and it's really exciting for me

  • as a teacher to be able to get things

  • set up for the school year.

  • And anyway, one of the books that I opened

  • is Logic of English Essentials.

  • And this is what I'm using for Isaac this year

  • for reading, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling.

  • So it's kind of all of English stuff put together.

  • And it's, what's really cool about this program

  • is that it's multi-level.

  • So this one book can be used for lots of different levels

  • so there's a placement test in the beginning

  • that I need to use with him, to see if I'm gonna be doing

  • a level A, level B, or level C with him.

  • So that's what we're sitting down to do today.

  • Now he's doing the spelling portion of the test.

  • - Nope, nope.

  • I know what it looks like, so I just have to get it.

  • - [Kendra] The next word is costume.

  • Massive.

  • Subterranean.

  • Audience.

  • All right, good job.

  • - I didn't know any of--

  • - [Kendra] Those got tough there at the end, didn't they?

  • So here is Isaac's spelling test.

  • - [Isaac] I'm not that good at spelling.

  • - You're amazing at spelling!

  • Those were really hard words.

  • We're really grateful because they gifted us these programs.

  • They asked if we wanted to use them

  • and if it would be a good fit for our family

  • and we said yes, so I'm just like tickled pink about it.

  • So thank you, Logic of English.

  • - We're eating dinner and Laura just said

  • the cutest little prayer.

  • She pointed to each thing on her plate

  • and blessed it individually.

  • She had a lot more tater tots at the time,

  • but it was really adorable.

  • So this meal is cool.

  • It's the meat that we cooked yesterday in the crock pot

  • and used in the chimichangas that I accidentally burnt.

  • But then the next day, you can make sliders

  • out of the meat and so it's a cook once, eat twice meal.

  • - We could begin to buy milk and cheese and bananas.

  • - And bananas? - Yeah.

  • - [Kendra] And what else do you think

  • we need from the store?

  • - Pretzels.

  • - And? - And chips.

  • - [Kendra] Ooh.

  • - And food for you.

  • - Oh food, that's a good idea.

  • Well, we're out of milk and that is always

  • a good sign that we need to go to the grocery store.

  • So I think Jeremy's gonna run with the four kids

  • and pick up just a few things (Laura yelling)

  • from the grocery store.

  • Huh?

  • (shrieks)

  • (laughter)

  • And I am going to go through a bunch

  • of the back to school supplies

  • and keep working on getting school ready.

  • (percussive hip hop music)

  • Shall we begin?

  • - We goin' shoppin'?

  • - Yeah.

  • I want the biggest cart.

  • - You want the biggest cart?

  • - Yeah.

  • Let's begin now

  • - I love taking the kids back to school shopping,

  • I really do.

  • It's fun to let them pick out a new outfit

  • and get whatever else they're needing

  • like Elise needs a new backpack this year,

  • Isaac needs a new lunchbox.

  • So I'm gonna be able to go and let them

  • also pick out some folders, like specialized stuff.

  • But for the bulk of the school supplies,

  • it's honestly less stressful if I just go

  • and get it done myself and that way I can

  • also have some surprises for them.

  • So yeah, I'm gonna unpack these bags

  • and show you guys what I got.

  • (upbeat guitar music)

  • - [Store Employee] Okay guys, go.

  • - Thank you.

  • - You're welcome! - I want some!

  • - [Store Employee] You want one?

  • - Yum!

  • - So we've said this before, but we love Hyvee

  • because they give cookies to the kids

  • when we're here shopping and the kids love it.

  • - All right, well here's my stash so far.

  • I was really proud of myself because this year

  • before I went shopping, I actually went through

  • all of our craft supplies so that I'd know

  • what we were out of and needed more of

  • and what we didn't need more of.

  • For example, I think we have like a 10 year supply

  • of staples, but we're completely out of tape.

  • So I knew to stock up on tape and I knew

  • I could just walk right by the staples.

  • So here's what we got.

  • We got, oh, and I also know that I have

  • to get four of pretty much anything I get.

  • Laura's not officially in school,

  • but she's definitely old enough to know

  • that if everybody else has a glue stick,

  • she needs a glue stick too.

  • - Dad, turn it whichever direction they turn.

  • - [Jeremy] Ooh, oh, we're running into something.

  • (laughter)

  • - Faster!

  • (shrieking)

  • - This was my big splurge item.

  • I got myself a laminator.

  • I'm really excited.

  • Last year, I had several laminating projects

  • that I had to do and I just borrowed

  • a laminator from my sister in law,

  • which was so nice of her.

  • But I've already come across some things

  • that I'm needing to laminate this year

  • and I decided it was time to be an official home school mom,

  • I need my own laminator.

  • So anyway, thanks for letting me show this to you guys.

  • It was a good distraction from my sickness

  • that I'm feeling tonight.

  • So I gotta put this away, because a lot of it

  • I don't want the kids to see before school starts.

  • So I'm gonna put it away.

  • - I'm giving you a massage.

  • - Are you giving me a massage?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Okay, I wanna feel it.

  • Do my shoulders.

  • Oh.

  • Oh, so gentle.

  • - I'm gonna go to bed.

  • - All right. - J Show, good bye.

  • - [Jeremy] I think she said J House out.

  • - I think so too.

  • - [Jeremy] This is either gonna be strawberry banana

  • or dead fish.

  • - Oh my goodness.

  • (click of saw)

  • - [Worker] Good stuff.

(laughter)
