Really, when will it be spring??? Oh, and we're the "to the west and north" who's lucky enough to get the 10 inches rather than 4-6.
No new pictures to share...to be honest, it's been a very hard few weeks or month. I've really felt very crummy for a long time, nauseous all day, very emotional and so very tired, all. the. time. The house, the kids and Bj have all suffered along, but this week finally feels like a fog is lifting, and life will carry on. Work is picking up again for IGS, which is good--the housing/economy slow down doesn't seem to be affecting business too much.
The kids are learning to clean up their room, and that work comes before fun. They can actually be quite handy at cleaning windows and mirrors, Alex "washes" dishes, and Abby is great at wiping down and setting the table. They enjoy helping out, which is an attitude I hope we can foster and maintain for quite a while. (haha, right? I can dream anyway.) We've become firm believers in the "less is more" philosophy of toys--if there's so many that they can't clean them up themselves, there's too many. Especially when working with the limited amount of space we have. The upcoming new arrival has made me mindful of the amount of work I do for the kids that they're capable of learning to do for themselves--hopefully we're setting ourselves up for an easy transition--being outnumbered is a little daunting.
There's the glamorous update. I'll find something cute to take pictures of and get back in the swing of blogging pretty quick.
