Two Confessions.
One. I have had a seriously bad case of the lazies lately. I mean, its bad.
Apart from the usual cooking, sweeping, mopping, dish washing, toilet scrubbing, diaper changing, fight breaking, garden weeding, nose wiping, kid book reading, walk taking, errand running, laundry washing, drying, folding, and hanging, bum cleaning, (big deep breath... continue) Primary lesson planning, shoe losing, shoe finding, belly tickling, little teeth brushing, toy tripping, bed making, tear wiping, boo boo kissing, whining hearing, dragon slaying, fort making, destroyed fort cleaning, dirt off wall scrubbing, wet bed changing, monkey chasing, time out taking, bottle making, food feeding, spit up scrubbing, etc., etc., (Um, other mommies, did I forget to list a thing or twenty?) I just haven't felt like doing much of anything lately.
I can't seem to get myself out of bed before 7am. No matter if I only got up once that night with the kids, or ten!
I also think I'm standing before the door of life marked, "Crazies Enter Here", and my hand is on the door nob.
Which brings me to my second confession.
Not like, I save and collect them to hang on my wall or invite people over and show them off kind of saving. No need to call the loony bin just yet. But kids love them and you can make some easy, cheap fun crafts with them.
And, as you've noticed, my blogging is SO off. I think if I could just sit on the couch for one whole day doing nothing but eating chocolate and watching chick flicks, I totally would.

So, when I finally sat myself down and did a craft with my children, it was huge, and hugely fun.
Which brings me to my second confession.
I save the cardboard from toilet paper rolls.

AFTER
Oh come on, I at least get brownie points for trying right? Or at least for letting Joseph use glue! Well, I thought I was being very brave. He is such that I might just find my socks glued together.
Even markers to color the wings with! I know! Especially after the 'reasons I don't take naps' post, I think I definitely deserve brownie points for that one!
Aren't they cute!
Maybe I'll write a book. "101 things to make out of household garbage." LOL!
And where did the expression "brownie points" come from? I think I should change the expression to "chocolate points". The kind you can cash in for real chocolate.
