Today's excuse

I'm perpetually behind in everything that should be done around here. I think most parents are the same, and the most days the general excuse is the same: the number of people requiring me to help them, feed them and clean up after them far out-numbers me (especially in the summer when we average about 4 extra kids at our house per day).

Anyway, today Charlie created a very time-consuming extra project for me to do by dumping out 7 puzzles into one pile. Luckily 4 of them were little kids puzzles with bigger pieces which the kids could help with, but 3 of them were 100 - 200 piece puzzles. To make matters worse, two of them were Looney Toons puzzles and both included Bugs Bunny in the picture so I got to try to figure out which Bugs Bunny elbow, stomach, etc. went with which puzzle.

I'm trying not to think too hard about all the mischief he's going to get into when the new baby arrives. I guess on the bright side, it gives us something to laugh about (a few years) later.
