Slightly Accomplished

Even though it was a "stay in your jammies all day" kind of day, I feel like I actually did something today.  I know I could have done more but I at least don't feel like a lazy pile today.  I ended up getting 2 loads of clothes washed, which happened to be everything in the house.  Of course I didn't fold any of it.  Plus there's still a big pile left from the last time I washed clothes.  That's a goal for tomorrow.  I can't wait until the kids are old enough to fold clothes.  I can wash and dry all day, but folding drives me nuts.

I ran a load in the dishwasher plus washed all the rest of the dishes by hand.  I even cleaned off half of the kitchen table because I told Marren she could paint pumpkins for Halloween. 

She started off good with a nice smiley face started.  Then I think she misunderstood what I meant when I said painting pumpkins and she went for complete coverage:

 

I painted our names on the big one.  And obviously I had some slight trouble keeping them straight...

 

 

Notice the jammie change at the end.  We had to take a bath while they were drying and since it was after 5, I figured we might as well just put new jammies on.

After she had been in bed for a few hours, Marren woke up with a tummy ache and a slight fever.  I got her some tylenol and a drink and she went potty.  As I was putting her back to bed she said, "Thank you for making me feel better."  That was probably the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life.  It made me feel so good inside.
