Monday, Monday.

So we start another week with Hubby at work and the usual pile of housework to do. But for some unknown reason, it actually works out really nicely for once. Normally Monday is dreary and full of boring, but today was different. I mean, I still did the normal 2 loads of washing and some washing up, made brownies and dinner, but this time my assistant was really helpful. She loaded and turned the washing machine on both times and put the wet things into the basket to take outside, carried pegs, helped with brownies and dinner (we had roast beef, Yummo!!) and even collected all the dirty nappies and undies from B-man. I couldn't really have asked for more from her today. It made the day quite enjoyable and I actually don't feel as exhausted as I usually would. We even had both kidlets in bed by 8.05, which is really good for us. Plus, the weather was beautiful! Not really like winter at all. I just had the usual t-shirt and jeans, even outside and it was gorgeous in the sun! My first load of washing dried in just a couple of hours...What an awesome God we have to make days like today!!!

This is from last week sometime on a colder more wintry day, but you can see that B-man likes helping out too. Today was much more sunny and warm looking than in this day was. Normal Nana was here when we swapped loads outside today too, so B-man sat beside her on the grass in the sun and watched us get the clothes sorted.

Here they are both helping with the washing last week.

I think something else that may have contributed to my enjoyment of today may have been some stuff that went down over the weekend...my assistant had her first sleepover at Normal Nana's while Hubby and I went out for my older brother's birthday, so that was nice. 

This is the card that my assistant made for my brother. He loved it!

Plus, I designed and drafted my first clothing pattern completely from scratch and it worked pretty well, I just need to do a couple of minor adjustments. But I'll tell you the details later on in another post. But yay!

Did I mention I've introduced B-man to the potty? I think it's been a month or so now. Today he did his first poo in it and I tell you what, we all danced around like we'd won the lotto!

This is him quite happy with himself after doing a wee on the potty last week. It's so cute seeing him in the little teeny undies...

Oh, and someone ordered a tea cosy, Sweet! I'm back into things and I feel great! What an excellent end to a Monday! I hope you all had a good one too and you'll hear from me again soon with those new project details.

Goodnight!
