On the Seventh Day of Christmas...

my True Love gave to me...











one very tired hubby (and father of 2).

Paul took the kids to his parents house today so that I could start working on the mess that is our home at the moment. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but I did get the toys organized. I put up 3 boxes worth to rotate later (or possibly donate/sell, I'll decide that in a couple of months). I had a box of baby toys set aside to donate. I changed out the toys we keep in the living room and found places for everything else in the kids rooms. After all that, I went into the office for awhile. Just trying to catch-up and get a plan of action for the next couple of weeks. I'm not working next week (although Sophie will be going to preschool), and the week after that will depend on how Logan's evaluation goes. It was so nice to have a few hours to focus and get something actually completed (well, maybe not completed but at least I made a good start). Paul came home and promptly fell asleep on the couch. It's amazing how quickly and easily 2 kids can completely wear you out.

Thank you, sweetie!

On the Sixth Day of Christmas...

my True Love gave to me...
2 homemade blankets.
I actually made the blue one in 2003 for someone else, but Paul convinced me that I needed to save it for my own child since it had elephants on it. It's just been in the closet all this time. The brown one has owls on it and I found it at our church fall fest a few years ago. I had it monogrammed for MIC, but since it has pink in it and matches the chair Sophie has claimed as hers, I decided she could have it and Logan gets the blue one.

On the Fifth Day of Christmas...

my True Love gave to me...





a brother and sister playing together.
Logan has figured out how to get in and out of the pack 'n play. He got in and of course Sophie wanted in too. So I put her in and they played together for quite a while. I know they are going to eventuallt fight, but right now they are having so much fun playing together.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas...

my True Love gave to me...

15 bags of trash.

The trash collectors must hate the first pickup day after Christmas. I can't believe how much trash we had. And that doesn't include the recycling (which doesn't get picked up for a few more days). Although, I probably could recycle more, in the chaos of a dozen plus people all trying to help, I'm not too worried about separating the trash, just getting it all picked up.
