Tackle it Tuesday

Wow!  July was a whirlwind.  We had so much fun, but are definately happy to be back at home.  The kids are sleeping better in their beds and I'm feeling more settled with a routine.  All in all, during the 29 days of July so far, we've been away from home at least 14-15 of those days.  That's half.  Who knew our month would end up looking like that?  

Luckily the house is still in one piece, the tomato plant is thriving (guess it needed a little neglect), and the cat is still alive and more appreciative of a little attention than ever.  And we've made some wonderful memories with family and friends.  So while I'm tackling housework today, I'm happy to be at home to tackle housework.  It won't be easy with two little ones running around, but it will be fun and I'm happy to have it.

Surprisingly there are only a few things that are pressing.  The kitchen needs to be picked up and the living room vacuumed.  Hubby and I just came back from the staff retreat and returned with some leftovers.  So all the snacks, fruit, and items need to be put away.  Dishwasher needs to be unloaded and reloaded.  And a few food items to be made: fruited jello, shredded cheese, etc. 

And there's a huge stack of photos from artscow.com that need to be sorted through and filed for the scrapbooks.  Baby Girl's professional photos need to be trimmed and written on as well. I can't believe how long it's been since I've scrapbooked.  I keep telling myself "It's just a phase in life."  At least I'm keeping them sorted for now.

I'm so happy to be home that working around the house actually puts a smile on my face.  

What are you tackling today?
