Watch What Happens

Sometimes when we're all alone. Shuffling baby from this room to that. Taking care. I take care. It's nice to break. Have a break. Take a break. To reset and do the things you've been meaning to do. This is what happened when my Dad and my Stepmom swooped into town this weekend.

I finally prepped my fluffy mail by washing and rewashing to reach its absorbency. And my Dad, with his handyman skills, finally helped me solve the problem of the clothesline. I didn't want one just hanging about the yard, big and bulky. So my Dad installed a retractable clothesline from the house that attaches to the fence.

And with the help around, I also worked on getting my little guy to nap alone (i.e. not in my arms or a sling or a carseat). As I type, he's all by self, napping like a rock star. He dislikes sleeping on his back (he prefers an incline in his bed), so he made major strides this weekend.

I also painted a wall a pretty muted blue, went shopping, AND went on a date with my husband. WHAT?! If only I could convince them to stay...

i love a good clothesline photo. i usually only sun my inserts, sometime i should do my covers and have a pretty colored clothesline instead of white white white.
