This week, I’ve been
housebound with two sick kids. Both Ben
and Kate have coughs that are keeping them up at night, runny noses and they’re
cranky, cranky, cranky. I’m pretty sure
Kate is also cutting a tooth. We’ve
spent the last few days playing, doing crafts, reading and watching a lot more
TV and shedding a lot more tears than usual.
On the bright side, Boris
and I got out of the house alone last night.
We went for dessert and to the hardware store to buy a wheelbarrow and
look at shower doors. Things that use to
be considered “errands” are now classified as “quality time” if there are no
kids present.
I’ve been trying to make
everything from scratch this week. We’ve
been enjoying Honey Bran Muffins, Chocolate Covered Granola Bars, Chocolate Raspberry Scones (I'm still tweaking the recipe but it's definitely one worth sharing), Beans on Toast, Asparagus Soup and (right after I finish this post) Ham and Potato Soup made from last night’s leftovers.
I’ve been in the kitchen a lot this week, hence the lack of blogging.
I also started the 8 Weeks to a Less Cluttered Home challenge. It
may take a few 8 week sessions to organize every room (including the garage) in
our home, but my goal is to have a clutter free house by the end of the summer.
