Time to laugh!

So, I am ashamed to admit that having fun is not always on the top of my "to-do" list.

My list is full of work stuff, house stuff, family stuff, not anything fun.  I don't say....make sure and laugh today.

This hit me when my youngest said, "Let's play hide and seek."  My first thought was.....I just sat down.....

Then I looked at his sad eyes as I hesitated and I  said yes.  THEN I got one of my favorite smiles.....

Then next 20-30 minutes were us finding each other in the same spots we always hide in (we really need to become more creative!)

Then it ending when some cuddle time reading one of his favorite books.

You know what I missed out on when I said Yes to a game of hide and seek?

folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and just sitting on the couch.

When I put that in perspective it should be really easy to say Yes to that.   Fun is one thing that keeps a family together.  It is in the laughter and the games that you build relationships with each other.

Watch this video with someone you love....and have fun laughing.....

A day in the life: laundry

I hate laundry.  It is never done. EVER.

Sigh......

Ok, Well I have done laundry almost every way:

One load a day.
One day a week.
When I don't have any clean undies.

But, this is the plan:

I am now off on Fridays.  So, I try to get the laundry done then.  It is that simple.

I tried having the family do it, and I am a control freak and they did not do it when I wanted it done and it was not great for anyone.

So, at this point it is Fridays.  I do the loads.  They put them away.

*Except for Slick....he got a hamper this week.  A gift from us to him so he will now have his very own place to keep his own dirty clothes.  He was not taking care of his clothes and had a week to prove it to us that he would/could.  He did not.  So, now he gets to do his own laundry.  I am so very excited about this!!  ****

Not a very exciting entry, huh.  Well, you should have known......the title was laundry.

*I do not have a cute laundry room.
*I do have extra socks at the end of every load.
*I do want t-shirts folded MY way.
*Mr. likes his socks folded different than me, and that is ok.

I do not iron.  Really, almost never.  When I do my boys are so confused by what I am doing...it is very comical.  Sorry Nana!

Oh, to make this more fun, Happy Halloween!!!!!!
