Proud of My Boy

Confirmed on Sunday.

Here he is carrying all 3 sisters...

I can't find heels tall enough anymore, so why bother? Oy.

Best buds still....

My two boys...
Thanks Carl for bringing so much joy to everyone you meet!

Love you,

Mom

Escape From Weeds and Dust Bunnies

Why I am so overwhelmed?

The bathroom is still unusable.

The house needs to be powerwashed and painted.

The living room needs some drywall repaired.

The gazebo needs to go up.

The patio needs to be ripped out.

The hot tub died.

The birch tree needs to be removed.

Two trees need trimming.

The front walk and drive need to be sealed.

The front patio bricks are falling apart.

The grass is growing and weeds are filling the beds.

While I tend to things outside, the dust bunnies keep coming.

I'm in the car every afternoon carting kids back and forth from activities and picking Mark up from the train.

I have a few other projects for church and school to finish up.

It's April.

I'm always overwhelmed as we head outside and still have rainy days inside.

The calendar is piling up with end of the year concerts and excursions.

Spring and four kids and two dogs = constant dirt...no matter what I do.

What to do?

Escape on a date with my boy for a bit.

Isn't he cute?

Since he was a toddler, his favorite place to go with me is a library or a bookstore.

We plop down with a drink and explore a stack of books together.

And I feel much better.....
