I've been MIA for a little while. We've been a little busy here.
We had company.

Easter.

I didn't get a picture of our family in Easter attire, so this will have to do for an Easter pic. |
Sickness.

This is why I didn't get a family Easter pic. My youngest was sick on Easter Sunday. Don't worry though. I am going to get that Easter dress up pic. |
GOBS of laundry because of said company and sickness. ( I do not have a picture of my dirty laundry but you can imagine.)
A spring break beach trip.

I love this picture, taken from quite a distance with my iPhone. There was a dolphin swimming pretty close to shore. My oldest (in her perfect runner's stride) is leading the pack in chasing it down. |
A family reunion.

This is my husband's side of the family. And we were even missing quite a few people! |
Now I get to breathe for a minute (in between more laundry) before more company this weekend and my oldest daughter's first play. It's all good though. I like being busy. I like having a
reason to clean. When I'm cleaning just for the sake of things being clean, that's good too, I do like things to be clean, but it's also a little hollow. I know the kids won't appreciate it and will just come home and mess everything up again with lightening flash speed.
So, now I'm off to go put away the laundry I did last week so I can refill the basket with the laundry I'm doing today. Fun, fun fun.
