I love

Getting lectured on politeness by my 4 year old.  Liam offered to help with the laundry yesterday.  Everyone knows a 4 year is no help at all and I was in a hurry, so I said, "It's ok, I've got this."  He looked at me and said, "Mommy you are supposed to say thank you for offering."  He's right.  At least I have taught him well.

On a side note, our repairs have hit a snag.  Today they are cleaning tile and were supposed to be rebuilding the cabinet under our kitchen sink.  The downstairs tile cleaning is going fine.  The kitchen sink, however, is leaking.  Again.  So, they are drying it out and a plumber is on his way.  Seriously, I just want this madness to end.  Its been 4 weeks.  4 weeks of being chained to my house waiting for contractors who may or may not show up.  4 weeks of toys that are supposed to be in the basement all over my house.  4 weeks of Elijah and Ethan sleeping in the family room.  4 weeks of noise.  I am so done.
