Sunday Cleaning

About every 3-4 weeks my very sweet husband turns into a super homeowner and takes care of all those things that I rather not do. Because obviously, he looks sexy doing them! ;)
He washes the cars, does the yard and any other thing he fancies. Now matter what I decide to do that day, I always end up looking lazy. Or maybe I'm actually doing nothing.

Early in the morning I noticed mini-me was silent, which in 95% the time means trouble. There she was, using some markers to color the furniture. I thought we were over this! She'll be 3 years in one month! I was very upset, gave her a time-out and told her I was throwing the markers to the trash. And I did. After that she wanted to help daddy with the cars. JA trying to stall her told her she needed to pick up all her toys and her room. She did this as fast as she could, as well as an almost 3-year old can. While picking up her toys she found some more markers and went to the trash and threw them away. My heart broke. We ended getting them back and explaining to her why we were upset and why threw them away. Daddy let her "help" for a while.

Among the small things I did, I cleaned the laundry. I cannot explain how happy this makes me. It's silly considering how small the place is and that no one will look there. When I mentioned this to JA he asked why I hadn't mentioned this before... he would have cleaned the laundry instead of everything else he did. Ummmm... good point. But again, sweetie you look so hot doing those things.

Of course this morning I found her coloring the palm of her hand. Made me think about throwing them away for good.
