  • And I'm starting to feel human.  *CHEERS*   I've started doing the laundry again...Rob was very worried that this was over-doing it.  But I'm doing it five minute segments.  And three days into it still feel good.  Its taking me 15 minutes a day to keep up.  Actually I'm ahead.  Even doing "extra" things like our snuggle blankets, etc.


    The rest of the time is still spent snuggling babies, and nursing babies, and yelling at big kids.


    Yesterday I looked out the window to see the main electrical wire (ya know the 15 feet up in the air one?)   SWINGING wildly.   I climbed up on the couch to look to see why...


    Ta da!  My idiotic son Samuel had climbed up to the top of a maple tree and brought a 3 foot branch with him and was making it swing.


    GAH!


    I was soooooo angry.   How many stupid things can one boy come up with???? 


    Of course an hour later I looked out the window to find same said son and Zeria on the wrong side of the ditch standing on the shoulder of our county road.  (a major no-no!)   And waving sticks at passing cars.


    The play time outside was officially done. 


    And my kids are still alive. 


    But this....this picture is the real reason I'm tired.  Zeria took this btw...I thought she did a excellent job.   This was Monday while daddy was at work.  And its the way I spend large portions of my day....   And if you'd told me that I would do this 5 years ago I would have laughed in your face......Its edited slightly to secure my modesty....


               


    So now you know what it looks like when someone tandem nurses.....


    The kids Christmas present from their grandparents was set up today.  And they LOVE it.  Their Idaho grandparents bought them a zip-line.   Its 75 feet long and everyone but Rainee can use it without help.  I'll take pictures later and put them up tomorrow.  We were going to wait until Christmas eve, but my brother has to work tomorrow and Friday, and Rob needed help installing it.   Definitely a cool gift!  And another thing to wear 5 squirly kids out.....


    I've gotten Christmas cards from a couple xangan's recently.  Too much fun, I so wish I could have mailed this year, but it just wasn't happening with a new baby in the house.  Maybe I'll mail just cause its January cards.
