Chores

Once upon a time, there was this super excited new mommy that couldn't resist spreading the joys and accomplishments that accompany parenting, so she started this wonderful little place to share her stories. Well then, she returned to work and it took a backseat. Then she started recording and spending time making these ridiculously cute movies to cherish forever and ever. Then she picked up fairly nice camera and started dabbling in some photography spending every spare second clicking and reading and reading and clicking. By spare time we're talking about an average of about 2 hours out of an entire week.

What I'm trying to say here is that I haven't forgotten about this little space. I still enjoy writing about a bunch of nonsense, but I'm just too busy playing outside. Maybe if I'm lucky, one day Mister Maternity Leave will return and we can spend some more time together.

In the mean time I've trying to get past editing videos as well as photos and just share some raw footage. There is a little boy in this house that is always eager to help. He honestly has chores to do each morning which consist of simple tasks like feeding the doggie, giving dog and cat treats, and putting Elvis in the kennel. He loves to help with the laundry, get the mail, and even insists on flushing the toilet for you. Something I probably shouldn't share is that he really enjoys putting the adult beverages away in the fridge and it's really helped him learn to count. He currently is obsessed with mowing the grass and learning about the people in our neighborhood that mow their lawns. He has all the names down of all the men who do yard work around us and where they live and talks about them usually every day.

So I've learned that any time I need to get anything done I turn to my beloved leafblower....
