NiCE GenEs!

I've been thinking a lot lately about things I want to accomplish in my home life.
~Cleaning the kitchen every night
~Staying on top of the laundry situation
~Making meals everyday
~Cleaning up the toys daily
~Dusting more often
~Cleaning the bathroom more often than when we have company over

While thinking about all the things I wanted to have accomplished I realized that I am not my mother's child. She was so great to do all these things everyday. Our house was always so clean. Every night we all had a chore to do and when we all went to bed my mom was still up finishing the cleaning for the day. You could literally eat off her floors they were so clean.
I'm much the opposite, I don't care if my house is a mess when I go to sleep. I usually don't clean it when I wake up either. I just did not inherit my mother's cleaning genes I think. I know how to clean, I just don't have to desire to do so and I wish I did.

I'm curious as to what genes you did or did not inherit from your parents that you may have wish you did, or didn't.

When I grow up....

Kinlee turned 1 this past week! It's so fun to look at how much she has grown in just a year. She has already done so much too. She only eats table food because she thinks she is such a big girl. She follows her brother around constantly to share in the trouble. She learned to walk when she was 10 months old. She throws fits. She loves to laugh at herself. She is in love with books and singing. She finds it amusing to throw things in the bathtub, while there is water in it. She dances. She loves to race her brother. She gives great kisses. She is a Daddy's girl.

She went to the Dr. today and she weighs 24 lbs and is 30 inches long.

We love you so much Ninny!
