I did it.

You wouldn't know it, but I did everything I wanted to do yesterday. My kitchen was clear of dirty dishes. I put away multiple loads of laundry and I cleaned the camper toilet, floor, and carpet. I even went the extra mile to pick up the girls' rooms and put away some laundry that was sitting out up there.

Just the thought of putting away laundry gives me ulcers...I hate that part. Oh, and that load that was left in the washer b/c I'm too lazy at night to switch it....it's fine. no smell. I love my washer. it gets so much of the water out; the clothes are practically dry before i put them in the dryer.

So, what do I have to do today, you ask? Well, clean the kitchen; wash, fold, and put away laundry and, yes, work on getting ready for camping. Deja vu. Oh, and on top of that, I desperately need groceries. Do you know how unmotivated I am to go grocery shopping on a dreary day with 2 small children and a pregnant body that just wants to sit down every 5 steps? Not to mention Lydia has been working on her 1 year molars and sleep has been interrupted for the past 2 or 3 nights. *sigh.



Here's what James has been working on:

Eventually it will become this:









...and b/c I've been told I need to post more pictures...

they love being outside and I'm looking forward to the playset being functional and the weather being beautiful!
