Nothing Done

So it seems as though I can't get through my massive to-do list. I had high hopes for maternity leave, I wanted to get things in order, such as scrapbooks and kid's rooms and remodeling. I have a mirror that needs to be painted, and a 1/2 bathroom that needs lots of work. But there are only so many hours in a day, and Miss Callie takes up a bunch of them.
Thankfully, the house is cleaner and we have better meals than when I worked full time. I spend more time with the kids, and we do things like visit the game center and library, ice-cream shop and take walks. We bake cookies (today was oatmeal chocolate chip - gotta keep the milk supply up while nursing large babies) - but I want to do so much more!!
Callie did sleep 6 hours last night, if she makes that a habit my energy level will go up. I hope :) And she smiled at me yesterday - made my heart melt.


I just love summertime, the weather, the flowers, the sun. This weekend we visited newport aquarium, and it was great. But I've noticed we get LOTS of stares having 4 kids 6 and under. At the grocery store I get comments and laughter (Lex shakes his booty in the aisles, it's pretty cute), but that's okay. This is my family and I love them. I wouldn't trade them for anything!
Now if I can just find a way to do this full time . . .

Looks to me like you're getting the most important things done. Being a mom to these four precious children. Enjoy!
