cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up
is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

| invention room |
i snapped this photo of the boys' invention room a few weeks ago.
this is more or less what the room looks like day to day.
we clean it up when company comes,
but most days, you can barely see the carpet and the boys are
happily squeezed in among all the legos, knex, cars and trains.
to keep myself from worrying about it, i just try to keep the door shut.
~ renae, the boys' sitter from last summer stopped by last night.
she is on spring break this week and in san diego visiting her boyfriend.
we all enjoyed seeing her and catching up.
the boys insisted on showing her their newly developed skills.
finn played the piano for her, and scoutie read a few pages from his latest chapter book.
he's literally had his head in a book the entire weekend - finished 2 chapter books.
{i quizzed him to make sure he was understanding what he was reading}. he was.
i got him on video a few nights ago. post coming...
