All work and...

very little play, make for a mama that didn't make the favorites list.  We spent the majority of the day preparing the house for our family to visit.  The kids like to have really clean rooms, they just don't like all the work it takes to get it that way:).  I'm continually amazed at how quickly it goes from "spotless" to total chaos.  I'm sure there will be times when the kids are grown that I think about how it was nice to be busy, but today I think, "I should have stopped for tea, cookies and an hour's worth of snuggles and book reading".  So thankful that this isn't my everyday reality:).  I didn't even stop to take pictures, so I must've been too busy.  I'll probably make up for it while the family is here. 
  The kids were sure happy to see Nana and Grandad arrive.  They love hopping around in the bags that hold their sleeping bags and seeing what books and cookies Nana has brought for them to enjoy.  I was surprised that they didn't put up more of a fuss over bedtime, but it has been a pretty long day.  I imagine there will be a lot of noise tomorrow when they wake up to find the Uncles here too:).
   The only other thing of note was that I gave Scott a haircut after supper tonight.  The attachment clip broke but I was still able to do okay with the boys.  Scott, on the other hand, ended up with one spot a little close to the head. I didn't cut him, but I'm thankful that he has a little while for it to grow out before pictures:).  I'm not sure if I'll post a pic of it.  I think that I did it once before when I first started doing his hair, but the clip is pretty safe.  Anyway, he had a LOT of hair on the floor when I was done.  I can't remember when I cut it last, but I think it was before Christmas!  I don't usually go that long, but what can I say?  We got busy...
  So, it's after 10 and the guys haven't arrived yet.  I think I'll head to bed and read awhile.  Have a great weekend everyone!
