perfect sunday

our room is still a mess, but the rest of the house is spotless. I kind of like it that way, so i have *my* space to be messy if i want to, but the rest of the house is clear of clutter for the family to enjoy and breathe easy in. the boys deserve wide open spaces and the freedom to spread out with their stuff. i am proud of myself for letting the decorations rest in their spots for so long. i compromised and took down only the cards and door hangy guys, since i had to erase random scuff marks on the doors anyway..............
i'll just admit i have a problem with having a clean house :-) it has been months since i had the time and energy to do it all at once instead of two things a night, so it was a treat for jj to watch the kids in whatever room i wasnt' working in. i've been knitting a hat since i figured out a stitch i was having trouble with. it will be big enough for a giant, even though i counted stitches and checked my gauge. novice error but still good experience.
hudson pulled up for real for the first time today. he is on his own schedule. he wants to stand up so badly, and has been doing the downward facing dog yoga position for weeks. i'm in no rush for him to do anything except be himself. he giggles and wears stripey pants and says Dada all day long. his favorite foods are bunny love cereal and chunks of chicken breast. august reques..no ORDERED cheese pizza today at three in the afternoon, and i thought why not? someday when he whines that we never let him do anything i'll remind him that i spent $20 on pizzas in the middle of the afternoon for him. he ate two slices of a large cheese pizza. i'm not as attentive to my own nutrition on sundays anyways so i relaxed with him as well. he was having a rough day and i knew he'd have to release it at some point, and i thought we'd be better off handling that with full bellies. he fell asleep in my arms at 615, poor thing.
