Guess what!!

Today a friend came over for a playdate w/ her two children.
As soon as they got here, the kids went out to play and she and I cam upstairs to fold laundry. She insisted!
We folded and sorted a basket of baby clothes that had been sitting in the hall since C was 2 weeks old! The clothes now are in their "homes." She also folded this huge basket's worth of sheets that have been sitting around forever, and they are now in the linen closet. We put a bag of clothes together for Goodwill, too.
Then, she did a lesson on England for the children and we then had a tea party, with food that she brought, and then she did the dishes and wiped the table down! The whole time I am just holding my sleeping baby and nursing him. I felt so encouraged!
And she saw my whole messy house!
