I told a friend yesterday that I feel like all my time while the twins are in kindergarten is spent doing housework.
It took several hours.
Other days this week have been employed with more fun work, namely shoveling snow off our way-too-big driveway. And to the neighbors who "tsk tsk" about a poor pregnant woman out shoveling, let me say (again) DH is more than willing to do it, but I really like being outside and working like that. I also like mowing the lawn. Is that really so hard to believe?
She calls it her "Care Bear ears"
Last week, we hosted a dinner party for DH's work at our home. DH and a co-worker's husband spent hours slaving away making authentic, amazing Mexican cuisine. I cleaned the house and tried to keep it that way. Then I did nice, shiny, festive centerpieces:
Eliza enjoyed teaching her how to do it.
It occupied her for at least thirty minutes.
And she didn't put a bit of it in her mouth.
This is what I did today:

Harmony got her first dose of playdough-playing this week.

It's nice when Harmony is occupied doing something contained at the table, because otherwise, she's off doing things like this:

The pictures were cute. Your children are beautiful.
ANd I am one who likes to shovel, and mow the grass... and would do it while I was prego too.
So I totally understand.
I'm catching up on reading some of the blogs, so I haven't always commented.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that takes pictures of my housework accomplishments--it's something that most of the family members don't truly appreciate :)
I have only just discovered your blog and find your sentiment refreshing and love your attitude towards motherhood and family.
