You Know You're Home When. . .

-I bleached and hosed out our simple human trash can for the third time to remove the essence of kitty litter.
-I sawed off a branch from our rose of sharon that the kids hung on one too many times.
-Geoff did a rose petal-ectomy from Calliope's nose. (And the kids agreed that that was the only drawback about having a rose bath.)
-I am working on school paper-work that was due on July 15th.
-We had a play date where I again encountered my vanity about how my kids fare next to other kids. But God triumphed and I administered the holy sacraments of water balloons and cheetos.
-I watched napless Clara dance so fast to keep up with the boys.
-I played two rounds of Guess Who to console the left out Clara. (She's getting so good! Yay process of elimination skills!)
-I cut hydrangea and wildflowers that have riotously showed up while we were away. Fresh flowers in every room but I still have laundry to put away. Mary's priorities, I guess, not Martha's.

And now Geoff's making seltzer spritzers and we're going to watch a movie.
