Happy New Year!
Dear Austin,
I'm sorry you have come home from work to chaos the past 2 day. I'm sure it is frustrating that the house is still cluttered with Christmas decor, boxes, and tissue paper. I know you love stepping over the mountain of winter weather play clothes when you come in the door. I have high hopes of all I will accomplish while you are away at work. For example, yesterday my list was: pay bills, do dishes, clean the bathrooms, put away Christmas, cook dinner. Regretfully, none of that happened. Today my list was: do dishes, clean the bathrooms, shower, bathe the kids, start laundry, put away Christmas, cook dinner. I'm happy to report I was able to shower, bathe the kids, and start laundry. Unfortunately, the rest of the list is lost under a pile of Legos. I have no excuse for welcoming you home to a messy house except the following:
Yesterday I bundled 4 children into snow gear,
built a snowman,
went for a walk to see an even bigger snowman,
made Mase's day by building his Lego police station,
and helped B work a 100 piece puzzle. Today I have
built a Lego fire boat,
built a train track using all the pieces,
and spent an hour and a half building a Lego helipad and helicopter. When I finished building the helicopter B told me, "You have more to do with Legos."
All this work is very exhausting, just ask Mase! He said, "Momma, I tired. I want to snuggle." The next time I looked up, this is what I found.
I promise that tomorrow I will put away Christmas, finish the laundry, do the dishes, shower, find a new home for all the new toys, clean the bathrooms, pay the bills, and cook dinner.
Your Loving Wife,
Mandy
