January Random-ness

Catching up on some January stuff.   Random photos.  The blog has felt no love over the past few months.  I am hoping we can change that. 

Its a bit like the closet scene from E.T, only its our mountain of laundry.

Sometimes we have a few laundry issues in this house.   Well, lets be honest.  We could use a laundry intervention.  It gets to epic proportions and we have "folding nights" where laundry is piled all over our family room floor.   I know this sounds crazy.   It is crazy.   We both hate folding laundry.   But the positive side of this?   The girls have the best time playing in it, being covered up by it and the squeals of delight are enough for us to continue this madness.   Sometimes being a bit crazy gets the biggest giggles from your kids.

My hubby is a saint.  He has spent weekend after weekend taking the girls to various outings and giving mom some much needed time away from the gremlins.    Children's Museum, Aquariums, Parks (weather cooperating), you name it...he will take them. Two thumbs up for my fantastic husband who allows mom to find her sanity for a few hours each weekend.
 

  

Monorail Ride

We have a few bird feeders in the yard.   One is a suet feeder, which the birds love.   And the squirrels go crazy over.   They devour a square of it within days.   I have seen all sorts of acrobatics performed in the name of food.  But one day I walked in and saw this.....hanging there, like its no big deal....munching away.     And how can you chase away a squirrel eating some yummy seeds on a snowy day?
