a mix-up



Whomever put:

SPRING 
&

CLEANING 

together, 
in
the
same
sentence,
 mUSt NoT hAvE taken mY hOuSe 
into consideration!!!

I hear a rumor that many, many households are benefiting from the aforementioned ritual.

Well, mine is NOT!!!....
yet

Am I the only one who would choose laying on a blanket watching the clouds go by over washing baseboards!?!?!

The only cleaning going on around here is survival cleaning.

Were scraping by.

Scraping up yet another something Dallin has laced the world with.

Since he's acquired some new "SKILLS" i.e. methods of destruction, nothing is safe in our home:

INCLUDING jAcK! (whom may or may NOT have wanted to become a SALT WATER FISH!!)

He even recently added a new element to his developmental destruction: he has OFFICIALLY learned to climb onto the counter and has come to love straight butter.
He is extremely "helpful." He even got a head start on my soap making project.

He makes his own breakfast (but doesn't yet know how to dress himself, darnit!)
BUT...he CAN take off his shoes all by himself.....and even learned to throw them from the car. (This is his Easter egg hunting attire.)


Even with all of these new skills, the thing he does best is melt my heart!
 

Maybe I should just hold off a year or 20 and do some 
empty nest cleaning 
instead?!?!?

full service

I don't know how it happened, but it did.

Justin is my OFFICIAL gas pumper.

AND HE LOVES IT!!! 

He thinks he is the luckiest kid on the planet! 
  


Now Anna can't wait until she is old enough to the lucky one who fills the car with gas!

In time Anna, in time.
