7 Quick Takes

Cardboard boxes make the best toys. Should have hours to clean today thanks to the leftover box from the new toilet. It has been a car, a house, a hide and seek spot...

Dh directed the new toilet install last night with two very capable little helpers. My job? Make sure they don't break anything today so they get to do it all over again.

If you are eating and spooning baby food simultaneously, you might get mixed up.

On deck today: four piano makeup lessons, a birthday party an hr away, two sets of contractors here, husband to pack, and one sick person testing my natural cold remedy. Glad I am not the only driver!

Loving Simplicity Parenting. Go get a copy! Really. But had to laugh when he was discussing the disparity between our vision for family life and its eventual reality. He suggests many things we may have fantasized over and then asks but did you ever imagine all that stuff over every inch of the carpet??

Why no,  I did not, in fact, envision all this stuff. Nor did I ever guess how many places one would find apple cores... wow. <g>

Time it takes to repair radiator pipes - hopefully a few more hours.

Time it takes to repair the pipe 'repair' - TBA

Blueberries for breakfast. 

 

God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend.  : )

So did the baby get your food or did you get the baby's food? Too funny!

I'm a big fan of cardboard boxes and paper towel tubes. Keeps them busy for days!

Thanks for the book rec, just put it on hold for myself at the library. Looking forward to it!

It's always so nice to read about a woman, who's housekeeping skills I stand in awe of, occasionally find apple cores in odd places. Sort of gives me a glimmer of hope.

Boxes are the best. Especially when my older girls cut out windows and doors!
