I was so productive...

But there's still always so much that needs to be done. Today I cut the grass, weeded flowerbeds (while watching all three boys), made breakfast and lunch, thawed meat for dinner, and cooked it. I also fixed a light fixture that I didn't hang right, replaced two doorknobs, put some clean clothes away, and found the missing usb cable for the camera. I still managed to play with the boys quite a bit and make sure they got naps and drinks, but the house is a wreck despite our efforts.

My to-do list is still 10 miles long, and we never got around to tidying up the playroom.

Sarah was sick all morning with horrible migraine. We just found out that she's quite allergic to dust and dust mites, so we need to take some measures to reduce the dust in the house to try to help with her migraines. We're looking into air filters and replacing carpet right now. At least it's something we can solve fairly simply - unlike Fibromyalgia.

She was a real trooper this afternoon, though. She got things ready for going to church tomorrow, fed dinner to Dawson and Noah, and did a lot of the moment to moment care of the boys.

Tomorrow, I'm going to post a few recent pictures of the boys, so stay tuned.

Anniversary

Sarah and I have an anniversary coming up on the 14th on September. Our fourth. Very exciting. We're going to have get away without going anywhere. That is, Caleb is going to stay at my Mom's, Noah with one of Sarah's friends, and Dawson with Sarah's parents.

Caleb is going to help my mom bake bread. He doesn't know that yet, but I'm sure he'll have fun. I'm glad he's going to stay with her because he's nervous around her most of the time. People have to be around a whole lot before he's comfortable around them. I have high hopes that they'll be best buds by the time he comes home.

Back to our get away. We're just going to hang around the empty house Friday night through Sunday morning. Woot! I like my wife, darn it, and we're going to have a nice relaxing time together. We might go out to Williamsburg on Saturday, or we might not. I'm sure I'll miss the boys because I'm attached like that, but I'll get over it.
