Rebuttal

A few days after I posted the Get Real (part 2) post, I came home to a rebuttal. Literally. I was out at Bible study, and when I got home, the supposed-to-be-asleep children came running down to greet me, and to escort me through the freshly cleaned house.
~ the floor had been mopped
~ the playroom had been cleaned
~ the toddler bed was gone (i.e. put away in the attic)
and most importantly, this...

May I remind you that previously, the patio looked like this...

Apparently having your husband read your blog isn't a bad idea, although I promised him I really wasn't trying to make anyone feel guilty...it was just reality. Of course, he did it all in love and good spirit, and so did the children.  So this is my reality--a really awesome family.

Very cool. That is funny about the "having your husband read your blog isn't a bad idea". LOL. I can't wait to see your "real life" photos of your renovation... and hear how you are keeping sane with a kitchen staged in your living room... did you ever find a hot plate?

Wow! What a sweet gift. These are my favorite kinds of surprises these days--the house picked up or a project done without asking. We really need to get together....we have alot on common these days (we are renovating the kitchen and girls room in the next three weeks).

Yay for a caring husband and precious children! You are truly blessed!

Wow! This is decidedly NOT what happens when my husband reads my blog...time to change what I'm writing about, perhaps! :)
