Saturdays are usually filled with whining and time outs. But I have managed to get the house work under control :) my husband helped me declutter the boy's room. The toys went from 4 tubs to two. I told him I wanted two tubs. he shot for one, and really did get close. Then I went for a morning walk (to stay in the habit even on my days off. This one was just for fun) and in the free pile in the front of our building was a 4 by 8 foot (122 by 244 cm) rug. I brought it upstairs for the boys. They had so much fun having padding to play on. I think just that cut the whining in half.

I took goldfish with me to the grocery store. He names a whole lot of the fruits and veggies for me. He of course wanted watermelon. I had to explain that we already had one at home. So that's what he wanted for snack after nap (a rainbow of watermelon)

After going to the store and buying groceries for the week (and it being under $100!) we came home and Goldfish took a nap. I took some more pictures of clothes for eBay. I made $20 last week on clothes I couldn't have gotten rid of otherwise. this is an incentive for me to declutter AND earn money.

This week the kids are off from daycare, so we are going to do "CampGonnaWannaFly" I think it will be fun. I plan on going to the pool a whole lot. My aim is to work hard on picking up behind ourselves. I just never quite seem to get the hang of it. but for the last week or so my sink's been shiny when I've gone to bed, and the dishes have been done. SO new habit is, maintenance The whole family is going to work on it. In fact, this week is going to be sticking to our routines. I think that will help things not fall apart at the seams, and will help us more fun.

OOOH and on a fun note the house fairy came for the first time tonight. Goldfish did such a good job of helping after dinner, and picking up and putting away (his new routines) that she just couldn't stay away. He got a certificate for an extra bedtime story.
