I don't think this is "normal" activity


At my check up last Friday with my surgeon, Dr Eden told me that I could return to my normal activities, including swimming. So, over the weekend we all went swimming, and had a great time. I also finished the two paintings I made to go with Davin's quilt. The boys have lately been asking when they could share a room again, thus we were planning on doing the room shuffle this coming weekend. I washed sheets yesterday, and as I sat there looking at two unmade beds, I just couldn't bring myself to make them, only to strip them down three days later. And Davin has been asking to see his paintings ever since I finished them. So when my husband came home from work last night, and saw my handywork, he put his arm around my shoulders and said "I don't think that this is what Dr Eden would concider to be 'normal'." And he's probably right, he often is, dragging a twin bed down the hall, moving another bed about the room, switching the solid wood desk and dresser, and moving a small bookshelf about the room probably isn't what one would concider to be "normal" activity. But I like the results, and so does everyone else.

You clearly had fun today moving things around the blog too--I like it.
You paint?! Stop it already, my mommy-esteem is failing fast.
As for sharing rooms, hopefully Davin won't try to wrestle Aidan all night this go around. :)
Finally, of course your "normal" isn't "normal"--it's always been extraordinary.

So this is what happens when I leave you on your own?
