Laundry list

I accomplished something today that has been on my “to do” list for many months.  It’s not earth-shattering, but is slightly remarkable since it’s not a task I tend to make a priority.  Here’s a little tidbit that most people probably don’t know about me: I’m not particularly good at keeping up with the pile of ironing that collects in our laundry room.  Jake would tell you that I’m usually so far behind, he just takes the shirts he wants to wear from the ones hanging on the line instead of waiting for me to iron them and bring them to his closet.  I guess I just prefer other household chores (or naps – if I can get both boys to take one at the same time.)  That and ironing isn’t really something I can do with Shecklet #2 running around, so I have to do it when he’s napping or after the kids are in bed.  Anyway, the story of the day is that I am currently caught up on all of my ironing.  This might not sound like much of an accomplishment, but if you knew how much was hanging in the basement (and for how long) you’d be excited for me.  😉  Now if I could just get a handle on my laundry.  My boys create more dirty clothes than Jake and I combined.  It’s amazing!

Speaking of laundry, as I was hanging clothes to dry this afternoon, my little architect was creating this:

It’s so fun to see what he can build when he’s playing by himself.  He has really been using his imagination a lot lately too.  Our house is constantly a construction zone – trains, buildings, forts.  You name it, the Sheck boys can build it!
