This Is What I Had to Look Forward To At Home

While we were playing at the beach, flying kites.....

I had toys that needed picked up (with the help of 3 capable offspring),

Diapers needing changing, kids needing to be put to bed (with the help of an eager daddy/husband),

Towels to be hung up from bathtime (some were soaked from *ahem* needless splashing!),

Wow! Fortunately not too much mess in the kid's room! (Those are foam swords that H, M and N are only allowed to use to slay imaginary dragons, lions, etc...with.)

Supper fixings to be put away and counters to be wiped,

Dishes to be washed and clean ones to be put where they belong,

A table to be wiped and water bottles to be put in the fridge,

And 6 loads of laundry to be hung up or put in drawers!

All in a day's work! I'm not complaining, just amazed at how quickly my work can accumulate. I don't mind doing all of that house work but sometimes it can be a little daunting. Hey, at least the kids were happy and we really had a great time today playing and running around on the beach. The house was cluttered with the kid's toys and that's always a good sign. That means they played hard and used their imaginations like I love for them to do! Motherhood, what a great thing!
