Chores

Sometimes i wonder how i manage to get anything done around the house. i attempt to keep the place relatively clean, do laundry regularly, and cook dinner everyday. (i do however, not cook breakfast or lunch on weekends! thankfully brent is the weekend breakfast chef!) there are days though that i think i get absolutely nothing accomplished!!! not that i'm making excuses, but maybe these pictures will help explain why...



need i mention that i am trying to cook???
(french onion soup....yum!)




my youngest chef



yes, the entire silverware drawer has been emptied...


they both come flying when they hear the dryer door open!!!
In all seriousness though, my mom had this poem about "little fingers" and how we need to embrace those little fingerprints on the walls and messes on the floors because those times are fleeting....i try to remind myself of that daily. if i find that poem, i'll post it....landon, check your baby book - it may be there. (can't find it in mine.)

  2. This cracks me up- it is sooo true! The worst is trying to read a recipe while the madness is going on around you. I get so distracted and have ruined a few meals because of this. You are a wonderful mommy and for the record, I've never seen any dirt or fingerprints at your sparkling clean home!

  4. I have used a baby gate to keep the kids contained to their rooms if Justin isn't there to distract them. It's the only way to survive the dinner rush. And I am of the opinion that if you manage to clean the fridge out one day, then it doesn't matter what you don't accomplish the rest of the week. It's a great feeling! Try it!
