The To Do List that Didn't....

As you know, I love lists. I write lists a lot.... Today's list was this....

• washing
• folding
• dishes
• bathroom/laundry/loo
• tidy lounge
• tidy bedroom
• wipe down kitchen doors
• ironing

Blah blah blah...Sigh... I had Miss Z home and she had these big hazel eyes and mopsy hair, and she was asking what fun things we could do.... 

Then I read this post by a gorgeous and very sensible, fashionable, thrifty friend....

A Fruitful Life

In this post, Lacey mentions how we are designed to build and create. I love that. I have not been doing this lately. I keep waiting for everything to be done before starting on the 'fun' stuff like; sewing, blogging, writing, reading and cooking fancy things. But with three kids and a Mr Cool - I never get everything done. The conditions are never right to just sit down and do something fun. So...

I decided to change my plans for the day...

This is what I did...

• Went and visited my lovely mum and beautiful sister {the other beautiful sister was missed}
• Baked with Miss Z. We made:
• 80 Condensed Milk Biscuits
• Lemon and Sour Cream Cake
• Vegemite & Cheese Scrolls
• Mustard Pickle & Cheese Scrolls
• Folded washing with a helpful Mr Cool {girls on trampoline having a hoot}
• Vacuumed up the crumbs BabyCool didn't get to on the kitchen floor
• I may or may not have snuck in a couple of games of Angry Birds.... 

I know that was still a lot of work, but just flinging the usual 'To Do List' out of the window was good for my soul.  

I also wanted to get lots done today so that tomorrow I can SEW! Yippeee!  I have set up a new sewing nook for myself - I will show you all when I have finished adding the last touches to it. Can't wait. 

Have you tossed your 'To Do' list out lately? I highly recommend it...
