NO! Really? I had no idea!
Having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, tying the knot saves an hour of weekly chores.
"It's a well-known pattern," said lead researcher Frank Stafford, an economist at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "Men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor."
He points out individual differences among households exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.
I can't be...
Julia to her dad: "Daddy, I can't be your helper today. I'm too busy being a mermaid."

Photo Overload
Julia and Oliver
Oliver wanting to go outside
OLD lampwork beads that I'd love to make something with...Shame that the museum won't let me have them!
Hana and Cam (Cam wanted a friend to go with him to the musuem, he choose Hana. She's a super sweet girl and we had a great time.)
The earth (looking towards China, of course!)
Asian dolls at the musuem
Stained glass window
Me in front of the ice cream/snack truck...how fitting! HAhaha!
Anna, Julia (who was crying), Cam and Hana on the trolly car
The giant map of Michigan...Aunt Pam and Anna checking out the Grand River
The kids outside with the space pod as they called it...
Our piggies...just for Dawn. Mine are looking like they need major work, but Ju's are cute as ever!

These are 2 little cards that I got from a neat seller on Etsy.com. I decided to frame them, but they didn't fit the frame I got, so I added the pink striped background and it worked out really well. It will make a great piece for Julia and Anna's room once we're done remodeling it. ;-)
Another great little crocus outside the house today.
My favorite...purple crocus.
Julia and Riley peeking over the door...wanting to get out.
She had a great time with me outside without shoes...it was only 54 degrees...but man, it felt great!
