New Quote...

On an almost related note to the outside bath: I read a great quote from this mom of small children who talked about accepting imperfect help to keep her house in order. She said that:

Unfortunately, her lazy streak is stronger than her borderline obsessive-compulsive streak.

I can so relate.

I'm not sure I am lucky enough to have an OCD streak ... but if I did have one, I'm pretty sure my lazy streak would win, too. I'm pretty sure my lazy streak wins out over whatever other streaks I do have going these days, including my best intentions streak.

Although, I must admit that I am really hoping that this extra tiredness and recent lack of motivation really IS pregnancy related, not just me being lazy!!

Well, in my defense ... look at these boys.

It requires no small amount of energy to keep up with them...



























































































































(again ... Will "eating" his masterpiece)

This is the first time since giving the art easel to "both" of them at Christmas, that I was brave enough to let Will actually join Jared in painting on it. Granted, they did paint themselves in addition to the paper ... and I did have to take some time to clean the primary colors off the sink and doorjambs afterward ... but great fun was had by all ... and ... really, who could deny the geniuses behind that brilliant work of art??!
