As I packed up the troops in the stroller this morning and went for a little venture around the neighborhood, I made the decision that I would get a little accomplished today...clean the garage, wash the car, do the yard work out front...(YES, I got it all done) Many times I put off doing things because I think that it will be harder than ever to get it completed with the help of 4 extra little hands. On this morning McKenna hung out in the stroller while I was cleaning and organizing the garage munchin' on some snacks. Griffin, on the other hand, what big helper...I gave him a few small tasks and he got it all done. When I was weed eating and mowing the front lawn, Griffin kept McKenna entertained and I got it done in record time. But the icing on the cake was when we washed the car. Kenna played in the grass, eating everything she could find...and Griffin just couldn't get enough soap on the car. So after all that we were all covered in dirt, sweat, and of course a little water from that beautiful hose, and two babes were in definite need of a bath...oh, the sweet calm it brings to these two. It keeps them occupied for as long as I let them stay in the bath...and the moral of my story is it didn't take any longer for me, and kept us occupied with something to do all morning...

I would love to be in your shoes... staying at home and enjoying the babes and mother nature! You are very lucky to be in your situation!
Your kids are so adorable, Sara. You seem like you are doing such a great job at the hard, full-time job of motherhood! It definitely takes much more patience than I thought it would require =)
