No Housework Day

Today is National No Housework Day.  All that weekend laundry will be just fine in the basket until tomorrow.  Watching Amanda keeping up with two little cyclones makes my house chores look easy, and I have the satisfaction of things staying neat for more than a minute.  The average married American woman does 17 hours of housework a week.

And moms do much more than that.  It doesn't help when nana and grandpa show up with messy toys :-)
Thanks Amanda and Tom for nice visit and the great dinners. What a fabulous Easter ham.

Seattle looked very green and lush when we got home yesterday. Spring is just getting started in the Methow Valley.  It was only 27 degrees on Easter morning.

The weather was cool and cloudy but we still got outside for walks. The trees along the river were just starting to leaf out.

Nova and I had fun at the Twisp City Park building pine needle fairy houses.

And Tom broke out the croquet set. Everyone is ready for summer camping in their spiffy new trailer.
