The Week-end. And beginning.

Monday-laundry and cleaning day. Somehow I am actually really excited to do this. 

We discussed last night how we wanted to raise children (Lord willing) regarding "work" and establishing that ethic.  We decided it meant doing the things that needed to be done around the house.  Thus, we are committed to always doing our own yard work, housework, repairs (this helps since Matt is a contractor) as long as physically able.  Mainly, we want our children to see us work-and see us ENJOY it. We are supposed to do ALL things to the glory of God and we want them to love hard work...and love the REST that follows the work (day seven, earth/heavens done, God rested...so beautiful).  And we want to raise goofballs.  Hence photo below:

Have I mentioned how much I like my husband. Because I do. A ton. And then more.
