Something to show for it...

Do you ever have those days where you feel like you have nothing to show for your accomplishments for the day?
I feel like this a lot.

Mr. Genius comes home and asks "What did you do today?"

Well I cleaned the house.....



I thought.


I gave the boys a bath...



Now I have laundry to do, not to mention scrubbing the carpets. (In case you ever have lipstick in your carpet vegetable oil and ammonia gets in right up.)

I feed the boys....



despite how they are screaming for food.

But today I have something to show for my day. With Wild Man's birthday being 3 days before Christmas. I try to spread his gifts out throughout the year or his is just bored with his toys after just a month. A while back I got a train table from my friend Beth. Who is having her 3rd baby, a little girl, Hallie, while I type. So yesterday I decided while Wild man was at Mother's Day out that I would put it together. Here it is...





I ended up with an extra screw. Oh well, I didn't say that it would be perfect. I planned to glue the track down but ran out of time. So I just put a little bit of the track together. Here is Wild Man with his conductor outfit too.




Needless to say he loves it.




When Mr. Genius came home we put the whole track together and glued it all down. Now it is even better.

I love your description of a day as a stay at home mom. So true. Especially with 2 little ones. I get toys picked up at naptime (if i'm lucky) and by the time Brian gets home the toy tornado has touched down again. Exhausting, but full of blessings!
