Small Domesticities

Yesterday, we finally got around to folding our way down Mount Laundry.  There was a pair of shorts in there as well as several sets of summer-weight pajamas. 

While we folded, Blair and I watched The Holiday on Tivo.  It was a very sweet romantic comedy and we enjoyed it very much.  The laundry was completely folded in time to watch the last half hour our so without our hands full.  Daniel came home from school towards the end and we all watched the last bit together, then put the clothes away.  Maybe it was the after-effects of watching the last scene, in which a family happily celebrated the new year, but I had a smile on my face the whole time we changed the sheets (so much easier to put the clean sheets right on the bed rather than fiddling with folding them up, don't you agree?) and put the rest of the laundry away.

Here's a photo of Daniel's finished pumpkin.  He worked on it for a couple of days after the party - very dedicated to getting it just right.
