GROUNDHOG DAY? AGAIN?

Day 38




It isn't that I don't mind cleaning. It isn't even that I have to clean multiple times a day. But my littlest one seems to think that I ALWAYS want a marker or crayon. Yesterday it was in the kitchen. Today it was in the office. And, he doesn't just get ONE or TWO out. He has to dump the entire container over and then...



that CUTE little kid wanders over to me and hands me 2 pens! He's willing to help clean. But today, the day we are having company in the evening, I just didn't want to clean up this mess slowly (with help). As it was, we worked together and got it cleaned up with time to spare.

I've learned my lesson. I'm going to put that container of markers, pens and crayons in the top of the closet...in the attic...behind the suitcases!

I've also learned that some of the best times are taken slowly, together, even cleaning up messes.
