They are pretty similar... ha ha!! The only similarity is the Batmobile and my Mommy-Mobile are both black!!Yesterday marked the end of baseball season. About 8 weeks of practices almost every night. About 8 weeks of traveling here & there for games.
Needless to say my Mommy-Mobile has SUFFERED! And she suffered greatly!!
It was time to give her a thorough cleaning. I'm sure some of you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say , "We have been living out of our van!"
The photo above shows all the stuff tossed out of the van.
-- 2 strollers (umbrella stroller and large stroller)
-- 1 large bag of toys for distraction
-- 1 dog leash
-- 1 large food-keeper bag (gotta have snacks, at ALL times)
-- 2 packed diaper bags (wipes, diapers, extra clothes...)
-- Multiple books
-- A huge stash of pencils (we wondered where they had all gone!)
-- Shoes (I think Kaycie alone had 3 extra pair of shoes in the car)
-- Sleeping bag, blankets (it's the Oregon coast, ya never know what the weather will be like!)
-- Bags of extra clothes for everyone
-- Empty water bottles
-- A soccer ball
-- 2 umbrellas
-- 2 First Aid kits (that definitely need to be restocked!)
-- Socks (Why were there 3 mateless socks just hanging around in there?)
-- 1 peed-in diaper (Somehow it missed making it to the trash can... oops)
-- And 2 full bags of GARBAGE!!
Good grief!!! That's a ton of junk!
The Mommy-Mobile got a good vacuuming and the cup holders and dash wiped down to a dull sparkle.
Now she feels more like the infamous BatMobile!
vroom.... vrooom!!!
(I have decided to add a verse at the end of every post that somehow pertains to what I've posted. Mainly so that I can search out verses that relate to everyday life and apply it. Just another way to add scripture to my everyday.)
"Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
--Ezekiel 36: 25 & 26
Will be cleaning out our bat-mobile today too (ours is more like a bluberry-mobile). Not looking forward to it, as we'll be lucky to get away with a list as short as yours :) I love your idea of including scripture to go with your posts, great way to study the bible and to be reminded to make God's word a part of daily living.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny Lisa. I have never seen your car with that much stuff in it :) It looks like mine.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Our car would probably look like that but my husband is fanatical about the kids taking everything back in the house.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI relate to your car. I cleaned out my basement the other day and my trunk was full of "stuff" I no longer needed. The Bible verse if very encouraging. I just found your blog and it's great. Please visit my blog and leave a comment at: http://blueridgepoet.blogspot.com
We can't keep our van clean either. Unfortunately, that's a daily problem - not just associated with sports. Sports just add another dimension to the clutter. Yesterday I spent quite a bit of time sopping up approximately 2 cups of house paint out of our van. It came out, thank goodness.
