Thanks to a busy errand day yesterday, we aren’t spending today grocery shopping for once! However, we are in no way sitting ducks. We haven’t stopped moving until juuust now. Well, Brady is still moving. He’s getting lunch moving. And I’m blogging, clearly.
Last night, Brady and I reminisced about our life before kids, and how we’d waste an entire Saturday on the couch, watching tv. Literally doing nothing else. Just watching tv. All. Day. While somedays I wish we could relax a little bit more, I rarely miss those nothing days. Brady suggested that, had we not had kids, we’d likely keep quite busy on weekends anyway, with life stuff and house stuff. But I countered that, wondering if we would’ve even built this house if we didn’t plan to have kids! Who knows where we’d be if things had played out differently! I’m tempted to add my “ten years ago” photo that so many are posting on Facebook, but I have something like that coming up soon 😉
Rather than laying around today, we’ve been busy! We are not only desperately behind on laundry, but we’ve gotten to that point where the kids can’t even choose their own clothes because so little in their closets fit them. They need a shuffle. Its time. Its such a fun job, but when its five kids, its more of an undertaking than it used to be. Most of the kids still had a handful of good clothes that fit, except Rowan. Solly has started to wear Rowan’s stuff, so his closet was dwindling, and nothing was being replaced. Wavy, also, was really starting to need some better fitting clothing. So we decided to make a day of it.
We’ve started laundry. It seems like our dryer has never dried slower, but I think its just because I want it to so badly.
We’ve also dug through tubs for Rowan and Waverly. The things we pulled out for them are waiting in the laundry queue.
Rowan’s stuff moved to Solly’s closet. Dekker and Laela’s closets are still decently well stocked, but we may keep an eye out for a couple of extra shirts here and there over the coming weeks.
This is a job that just feels SO good to get done! But seriously, guys, laundry for daaays!
I’ll leave you with this: a photo of Wavy post-pony.
Because its just too cute not to share.
Have a happy Saturday!
