Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real: The Real Real Real Edition
All these things are happy and funny with the right perspective, but they are all real, real, real.
I did that 31 Days to Clean a few weeks ago and got all my drawers and cupboards cleaned out! And most of those tasks I did have been undone by little Mr. Busy.
Still, it’s funny and pretty if you look at those eyes.
Now that looks like a real mess, doesn’t it? But that was definitely a happy. The popcorn ceiling is gone and now the carpet is gone, too. Soon we will have lovely hard floors, but for now we’re in construction zone mode. It’s very happy, though, particularly that I have a husband who can and will knock out projects like this even after putting in a full day at work.
I have cute kids. These two like each other, but can’t be together unsupervised lately. They are both in need of high-gear training right now. Good thing they are so cute and funny.
First snow of the season! It only lasted an hour or so, but it was there. Also in this picture you can see the big dirt hole, fort, and barricades being constructed by my boys and the occasional neighbor boy or visiting friends. They come in absolutely caked with dirt. Good thing I’m not uptight about clean floors. :)
I am disappointed that you did not include a picture of me.
That couldn’t be you; he’s smirking winsomely at the camera. You only glare at cameras. The big beefy arms, though….yes, definite resemblance.
I can completely relate to life with cute, busy trouble-makers! Sometimes the cuteness gets in the way of training them! We missed the snow, but my boys LOVED your dirt pile. :)
Mystie, when I saw the first picture, I saw the flour everywhere. When I saw the next picture of your soon to be renovated room minus a popcorn ceiling, I thought this was a continuation of the flour! I was VERY impressed that you could be so cheerful about such things! But then, as I read, I realized my error. It is a very happy day when those ceilings go and such a blessing when hard-working husbands continue the hard work after work.
Now I’m curious about the 31 days thing – good for you!!
