12 on 12

Today is the 12th, so it is once again time for 12 on 12. 12 pictures throughout the day of whatever comes along. So here's what our day looked like.
After breakfast, we got started on our project for the day. Thanks to this stage of pregnancy, we are doing some reorganizing :)

This is what the girls closet looks like on any given day. If you are a neat freak, you might want to look away, this could be too much for you.



The girls think that all clothing should go on the floor, even when the drawers are 2 seconds away. My ultimate goal is to have a lovely large laundry room/closet where all clothing will abide. In the mean time, the girls closet was evacuated today.
The dresser was moved downstairs into the laundry room, in the mean time Ari took her chance to play in the empty drawers.

by the end of the morning the closet looked like this. I think that we will move the girls desks and craft supplies into it and they can have their own craft room.
And the dresser moved into the laundry room. Now all the kids clothing, aside from hanging clothes, live in the laundry room.With our project well under hand, we headed down to do our school work. Through the summer the girls have kept up their math and reading, a light load but better than a full load. :)
Gotta love Sophia's headband.
Isabella slaving away at her math, which she claims to hate, but is actually quite good at.
Today was also laundry day. This is what laundry looks like at our house. I take one or two days a week to do it all. I know many larger families who do several loads a day to keep ahead, but I really do prefer to fill a day with it rather than try to do it little by little.

Actually, that was only half the laundry, I didn't get finished because I had my scrapbooking night tonight so I had to take off early.
First I ran to get a canvas and more modpodge to finish a project I'm working on.

Then while I was at the scrapbooking store I used their Cricut (cutting machine) to cut a million and a half letters. It took at least half an hour, but it was still less time than cutting by hand!

Then I got to actually scrapbook! These are the pages I got done, well as done as I could get them at the store. I still have to embellish and journal, but it was a good start.
So, that was our day!
