Time to smell the clean laundry...


Usually the morning is busy in our house. Our daughter Jade gets ready for school and our two year old son Nathan runs around like crazy with his stored energy from the night. This morning was different. Jade got up early and was very good at getting organized. I went outside to hang some laundry and was followed by Nate and our dog Bear. Nathan decided he wanted to stay outside and I agreed. We played in our PJ's and had our breakfast on the deck. We took the time to listen for the birds and look at the beautiful blue sky. Nathan chased Bear around the yard and Jade played with Bear and his konk throw toy. This morning made me smile. What a great start to the day.

Darren was right about the clothes line. If it was not for that, we would have stayed inside doing our normal routine and we would have missed a great outdoor morning. Plus, this week alone we have saved energy by not using the clothes dryer on 6 loads of laundry.
