things i am doing instead of blogging

1. Finally (stupid injury) training for St. George- hooray!!!
2. Restocking my etsy shop- wait until you see the cute things I have been making. And. There are lots more coming. My shelves are full of lovely new fabrics.
3. Laundry- no idea how these small people wear so very many clothes.
4. Swim lessons here- Am super impressed and am now convinced that at least one of my boys will someday be swimming in the Olympics.
5. Cleaning out the basement- finished, hooray!
6. Sorting things for this consignment sale- am finding it very freeing to get rid of old baby stuff. ( this does not indicate a final decision but I figure that if I ever need baby stuff, I will get new stuff which will also be fun)
7. Designing Tommy's big boy room- he has requested a science theme, of course. Can't wait to show you.
8. Attempting to keep Johnny away from my fancy sewing scissor, and all other scissors because he does naughty things with them. And he might get hurt. It's going so-so.
9. Trying, (also unsuccessfully) to keep my extremely exuberant garden under control. Will probably write more about this on Monday because I am feeling very proud of it just now.
10. Getting excited to blow things up in our very own driveway tomorrow with lots of friends. Wanna come? You're invited.

11. Resolving to be a better blogger. Starting Monday.

Have a lovely weekend, hope you blow things up at your house too.

helpless

Tommy and I are having a slight disagreement. He insists that he cannot remove his own seatbelt and is thus, stuck in the car. I insist, based on past experience, that he can. To demonstrate his said helplessness he is sitting forlornly in the car, inside the garage, shouting occasionally for me to rescue him. He is munching on leftover picnic to keep his strength up and Johnny has gone out to visit several times so he won't get lonely. I don't think he realizes that eventually we will have to go somewhere else and if he is already in his carseat we are just that much more likely to be on time. This is a win-win situation for me.

*Postscript- He lasted 14 minutes at which time he quietly slunk into the house and carried on as though nothing had happened. Today he lasted less than two minutes although there was still quite a bit of dramatic flair thrown in for effect.
