WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK...



Today I cleaned the house....all day long! I love a sparkling clean home (even if it does just last a day or so). Thursdays have become either a catch-up- day, or a forget- everything-day- and-just have- fun. It was nice staying at home today and finally getting caught up on some cleaning! The boys didn't seem to mind either. They had fun watching cartoons, playing in the playroom, going outside in the backyard, and helping me. I enjoyed teaching them how to turn socks inside out, match them, and put them away...and letting them help me organize a few things. I took a few breaks throughout the day to play a made-up game with Wyatt, roll around on the floor with Levi, help Wyatt write some words and watch Luke color. I never got ready for the day or even stepped foot outside, but I did accomplish something and enjoyed being at home with my kids. And that's something to be happy about!

Where have i been lately? I feel like i have missed 100 posts! first off you got some darn cute pictures on Easter!2nd I called julie this week to come along on the run. 3rd i loved your post on starting to post things that are positive, im telling you it works! but i know just how you feel! if i hang out with my kids all day i feel like i have left so much for porter to help with that night. If i clean too much i feel like i put chores before my kids. I have really learned EVERYTHING IN MODERATION,I also heard a quote once of looking at all our trials and things that need to be done is so overwhelming but if we just focus a single day at a time we can handle anything that comes our way. I just try to focus a day at a time to make it the best it can be. And if it means anything to you. . .you are an example to me:) love you! and I need a cleaning day! wow long comment sorry!

I love cleaning days. Even thought they really only last like 1 day.

Your boys look so big and handsome.

Poor Luke. I am just waiting for that to happen at my house.
