Some days my house looks surprisingly similar to the last\npage of \u201cIf You Give a Mouse a Cookie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you looked around my house at this moment, you would see\na kitchen cabinet pulled out (because I was in the middle of cleaning it). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glance out the sliding glass window would reveal three\nchildren outside soaking themselves with the hose (they asked, and I realized\nsummer would be over soon!). Which, by the way, started because of hosing down\na cute table that was bought at a thrift store for $2 (How could I pass that up!?\nI didn\u2019t). It had been waiting in the garage to be cleaned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and the baby excer-saucer that we also pulled out to\nhose down while we were at it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the back of the yard, you would see another table\n(another amazing $2 table!) sitting in the sun, drying from its sanding and\npainting adventure earlier today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other bits of interest accumulating around us are today\u2019s\nmail, some items from the garage waiting to go upstairs, the dishes sitting on\nthe counter waiting to be re-arranged because of the afore mentioned cabinet\nissue, and the dining table with a toddler eating a cookie and sliced apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding him, are stacks of homeschool books and coloring\npages from the morning, as well as trays of \u201canimal habitats\u201d made by my\nchildren on trays of small animal toys of rocks, twigs, and dried beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
