morning calm

Good Morning blog world!  I slept in sort of this morning... I did not get out of bed until 0815.  Nature called at that point and I had no choice, well I guess I had a choice but the alternative was not at all inviting.  Ms. Lily was up at her usual time but daddy got up with her (after some nudging). So far I have rewashed one load of laundry and just washed a second load.  Gotta hang this load out on the line then feed the chickens and goose. Kids have been bathed and are down for naps. I will be lucky if they rest 30 minutes but it is just the two of them today so not so much chaos.  That isn't entirely true.  They got a bath because they helped themselves to some peanut butter while I was looking for their shoes. Picture to be added later... then while I went to get the camera to document my evidence little Lily "painted" every thing she could touch a lovely shade of tan. She was so wrigglely I could not get a really good picture of the skin treatment!

Now chickens and goose fed, clothes hung just have to set up my sewing machine in a place that can be semi-permanent. First 4yo needs cinnamon toast.. no I am not psychic she just requested food and after the usual list is given she picked toast with cinnamon. what strange Monday... both girls took real naps! I still did not get anything done but it was the breather that was nice. Usually it is so chaotic I cannot hear myself think.

Now having heard myself think I may have been better off not hearing...
