They are such a nice family and so much to do! If I was in France I would organize a clean up the yard day for them to help out. Feel guilty just watching, but so much enjoy it.

    To the comment re getting organised and getting on with it. Do remember he works as well and money is very tight so every little job takes time and will be prioritised according to what can be achieved as time and money dictate. I also think your boys are gorgeous. Mine, who are grown men were very close only 13mths apart. Your patience is incredible well done. I feel guilty as I did my jobs when they were either asleep or entertained.
