What did I do today?

Okay, let me preface this post with the fact that I LOVE being home with my babies.  They bring so much joy to my day.  But, lately, with not having a job, I looked around the house and wondered why it was dirtier than when I was working full time.  I cried and moaned to Dean, who was patient with my whining, about the fact that I have no idea what I do all day.  I kept saying that I didn't know why I couldn't stay on top of things better.  So, to make myself feel better, I composed a list....and it was just this morning before lunch.

Okay, so I guess I DO something all day even though my "to-do" list keeps growing!  I'm trying to state the mantra that "time with boys is more important than a clean house" over and over.  I know these days are going to be gone before I know it!  They are already growing up faster than I ever imagined possible.  This is why I made a challenge with a friend to do something fun with them every single weekday!  Hopefully it will keep fun and enjoyment of my boys from getting lost in caring for them and our home.  So, we've been doing some type of fun project every day for the last couple of weeks.  I'll be posting pictures of our activities soon!  :)
