CONTRIBUTIONS

I was deathly ill on Friday. 

Don't know what from. 

My guess is either Ovarian Cyst or Gallbladder Attack.

Either way, thanks to Kday for staying home with the kids because really, i thought I was dying.

Saturday I worked in the morning.

Then Kday and I tuned into our green thumb and worked in the yard until dusk. 

The kids could not have been happier. 

Dirt filled fingernails and muddy faces, evidence of their exoplorations. 

The boys discovered "the brother bears" statue in our yard 

(More on these awesome bears later)

And Owen kept saying Beah beah beah and hugging it. 

Too cute.

Today I get a few things in order. 

First, Layla's "contribution chart"

Think... chore chart-but what sounds better to a person "Do your chores." or " Don't forget to do your contributions." 

She started her contributions last year when we lived with my folks and some how when we moved here I lost her chart. 

And it's high time we get back to basics.

Next, clean house - because it's Manic Monday and it must be done.

Then, plan for Easter and make sure eggs are stuffed with candy and baskets are filled. 

And finally, hopefully, nap time.

Last week a miracle was witnessed and the boys both napped in the same room... at the same time... no rocking!

Then, yesterday, when I planned on a nice loooong sunday nap --- my boys sabotaged me. 

2.5 hours of trying to get them to nap together failed. 

And I snapped.

I ate an entire plate of nachos with guacamole to manage my frustration.

Fail.

Cheers to a new week filled with lots of green smoothies.
