I think we are finally falling into a bit of a groove around here. I still have a hard time balancing work and play some times. When the mess drives me crazy enough we take to the outdoors for some nature and exploring and try to forget about it until later. I started out today with a small to-do list, and only ended up actually completing one thing on it (that bathroom was really starting to bug me), and then there was dishes and cooking of course.
Camilla and I were the first ones awake. Since the little boys were in separate rooms, they slept in nice and long. Camilla has taken on her responsibilities for Tucker very seriously. Looking out the window early this morning and watching her play tug of war with him made me smile. We hung out in our jammies until the boys woke up and then made breakfast.
The littles begged me right after breakfast to go play at a park. I surveyed the kitchen and decided the dishes could wait. I felt semi-discouraged that I have been having such a hard time keeping up with things, but Finley's giggles on the swing made up for it!
Joe climbed the rock all by himself and proudly asked me to take a picture. As I look at it now, I realize how big this boy is getting. He is such a good kid and has such a big heart. All afternoon I've had the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" floating around in my head. And in case anyone is wondering, I still have at least half a bag of chocolates left to last me the week!
