Z's drawing
Today was one of those days that I felt like such a slacker the moment I woke up.  I kept thinking about all those things that do not get done and day after day they are put on the back burner.  My first thought was I needed to wash clothes and then list came flowing through my mind.  I started thinking about why they weren't getting done and I started wondering if it was because wait until school work is done.  It seems every day they finish school work I end up getting wrapped up in something else.  Maybe today was a good day to try something different.

While I was preparing dinner to put in the crockpot, I came up with an idea to keep them busy and it worked!  Not only did I get a few things done but I was surprised to see the outcome from my almost 4 yr old. 

My parents took the older girls for a walk on Sunday and Madeline came home with a caterpillar.  Today was a good day to draw the little fellow and put their drawings in their nature journal.  I didn't think much about it and they went to work.  Zoe decided she needed to get in the act and grabbed a piece of paper and purple colored pencil.  The following is her picture. I'm actually impressed with her drawing.

Just as an added comment, my fairly new crockpot (less than a year) lid fell apart. I'm hoping it can be fixed. It's too hot to try now.

First I had to comment on your little artist. What an awesome picture.
Next I can so identify with putting things off. I have been putting off some chores like cleaning out closets , getting some yard sale items together for a sale,cleaning out the file cabinet..etc. We have been a little slack with our studies the last few weeks but I had become so overwhelmed by the things I was putting off. I figured there was no time like the present. We have managed to have one yard sale and gathered enough for a second possibly this weekend. I am now seeing the inside of corners and closets which have not had sunlight in quite some time. Now if I could just get better at dusting...well can't conquer it all at once...lol
