Today

Just a few photos from today - First is Alyssa riding her old tricycle with "baby Moses" on the back. She made a moses basket today and then took him out and took him for a spin in the backyard. Also happening in the backyard, using the Burro for an outdoor dryer for our guest comforter! Looks pretty ghetto, but he's super useful SOMETIMES. The pic of our backyard, I just had to take, because sometimes this place cracks me up at how messy it gets. I feel bad for our gardeners, who feel they have to straighten out the kids' toys sometimes because they're all strewn about the lawn. And the last photo - this is ONLY online because I feel maybe I can make SOMEONE ELSE feel better about their mess if they happen to have one. This is the result of picking up everything off the floor to mop, then not putting it all away, and then starting cookies, and then starting 100 other things without finishing the first. Does anyone else share this problem with me? So, my floors are clean, but anything above that needs a few hours of work! Bobby's out of town this weekend working a case, so I guess I have the time, I just don't have any help with the crazy crowd of kids around me all the time! I have to go tackle this RIGHT NOW! Seeing a photo of it is very convicting.

I have to admit, Jess, I really do like seeing other people's messes! I am figuring it out a little at a time, but I have always had a hard time cleaning with kids at my feet. I love having an hour or two, turning on music and just cleaning by myself. That doesn't happen often enough. AND, I guess I do need to teach the kids how to do it with me. If you have any tips, let me know. I am sure you do better than you think you do.

Love ya!! Your house and yard are so cute!! I need to come see it sometime!

Your house doesn't look all that out of control to me!
