- The kids and I spent part of our morning cleaning out our chicken pen. Let me just say, chickens poop a lot! It's not the best job around the house, but it must be done. The kids actually all put on their work gloves and helped. It didn't take nearly as long as I had thought, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. I think that's how most household chores are, we dread them so much but if we just go ahead and do them it isn't so bad.
- Speaking of chores, we've been cleaning the house all day too. I love days where I feel productive. :-) Of course if you walked in right now, it wouldn't show! There is always much to be done. Also, all the furniture is cushion-less right now as the kids are building a "house" of sorts with everything. Yep, I'm that kind of Mom that lets them do that stuff. We were always using our imaginations to do stuff like that growing up, and I think it's so important!
- Soccer is over-hurray! I am SO over soccer. We stayed at the field from 10 am -1:30 Saturday, with all 3 kids and I was so glad to get out of there! I'm not sure if we'll do it again or not. A year helps a lot with kids' maturity levels, so we'll see. Right now, I would say a big "NO!". Oh, and the kids were thrilled with their trophies. Emilynn keeps asking for a Ziploc bag to "keep hers clean" she says. I will be glad to get my Saturdays back!
Well, I'm back to house work. This week should be fairly quiet with just our usual swim lessons and dance. That's it I think! Oh, and story time at the library. That is so nice and the kids really enjoy it. I like that it's so close to the house. Sometimes it is tiring to have to drive 15-20 minutes every time we have something. Just part of life in the country I guess.
