Okay! I've heard lots about making my own laundry soap from a few of you so today we tested it out. Well, we made it today, and we'll test it out tomorrow.

Each boy had a turn, of course.
She's getting old enough to notice that she's left out.
Everyone got to stir--even the princess.
Now to getting real...
While all that cute laundry detergent making was going on, this is what my kitchen really looked like.
Notice Mr. Bellumnus' fish bowl. Poor guy. He got a good cleaning today. These are all dishes piled up from dinner last night and breakfast this morning. By the time I got my kitchen clean yesterday, dinner came. So I gave up and started again this morning.
breakfast stuff out (still)
Josiah's cup for the day, breakfast bowl and plate that couldn't make it to the sink because there was no room, Wal-Mart and Publix bags, ingredients to detergent, electric knife from dinner last night, and a cereal box that needs to be recycled.
But why clean when this kind of cute stuff is going on?
Isaac working hard and Josiah connecting lines.
I always thought that moms who home schooled their children must have had a perfect Martha Stewart type home. I think it's pretty far from the truth. If they do, I may be in the wrong business. But guess what?? My kitchen is clean tonight...now onto the laundry that I let pile up.

Glad you're keepin' it real, babe.
By the way---I love Josiah's haircut and new shoes!
I was about to ask if Josiah got a haircut...it looks good!
I ditto your mom's comment...I love that you keep it real! You are just a genuine girl...I love that about you! Maybe I should take a picture of the dead fly in my kitchen sink. :)
Amy, was making your own detergent a science experiment or for real? You are working too hard!!!! Josiah's hair cut makes him look thinner. I like it.
Mom- The boys both got hair cuts and new shoes. Of course, Josiah's are white and he helped out in the red mulch....
Mindy- I like his haircut okay. But the lady cut it in the style of a "surfer cut"....hmmmm...I keep the sides tucked behind his ears because it looks kind of girly. Oh well. I need to learn how to cut hair because I'm never satisfied with the way someone else cuts it.
Jean- It wasn't a science experiment. I had just read about it on a lot of different blogs a thought I'd give it a try. And don't worry, it wasn't hard work. It only took about 10 minutes to do. :)
Love that you keep it real. LOVE the pics and I love your family. Siah is doing a good job tracing the lines. I miss you so much.
I'm so proud! How do you like it?
Lindsey- I like it. I have no complaints whatsoever.
