Eyes to the North


There, I've said it. I'm behind. So far behind, that I just took in cloth diapers that I hung out to dry on a sunny day many days ago. Then had to leave out as it rained the next day. Then the day after that the sprinklers went off before I could catch it. And then it happened again. Finally, today, I have rescued the butt covers. Still. I have 452 pounds of dog hair on my carpet because it has not been vacuumed since last Friday. Mammoth toy mountains have taken over my living room. My tomato plants are spontaneously tipping over and my zucchini and squash have given up hope and are drying out. I kneeled in a pooplet yesterday, smudged it on the carpet...the carpet is clean, but my poor pants haven't been touched. Moral of the story? It is not a good time for an unscheduled visit. Give me a month's notice, please.

Some days it's a mini-miracle to get the kids dressed.

(I've planned on getting the girls pictures taken in the dresses Nana brought them back from a trip. Here's Keely. Adalynn's was off within 10min of walking through the door. It's white, you know. I didn't have the energy to pin her down and wrestle it back on.)

Others, we flee the chaos inside the house for a downtown destination.

Error.
(imagine picture here: Outside the Children's Museum - Glitzy mural on the wall. 2 little cherubs hugging, smirking at camera.)

The Children's Museum. Overstimulating children and parents alike, 1 soul at a time.

Another Error.
(imagine picture here. Something about kids running erroneously and Adalynn staring blankly. Poor child. She doesn't handle overstimulation well.)

It's kind of like meeting Uncle Ryan for the first time.

Not too sure what to think...

but you might as well go along for the ride.
