Little Jobs

Thanks to all of the Ice, I decided it would be a good day to stock up the freezer. I made a big batch of Homemade Waffles, and even Thade liked them. The recipe made 15, and 12 made their way into the freezer for future tasty breakfasts.

 

This afternoon I’ve been working on a really odd project in the Dining Room, caulking around the wood-work, and the windows. I think the caulking around the windows will help seal out any sneaky cold air, and the caulking around the wood-work looks great. If I can get all of the prep-work finished maybe then we can get to painting around here.

 

The only problem with looking for seams to seal is that it is hard to stop. I then made my way into the kitchen, to caulk the cabinets, and baseboards too. I had better stop before I get a gigantic headache. It does look nicer, even though it doesn’t look like I did anything 😉

 

This afternoon I hope to get my neglected Sewing Machine out and fix the upstairs bathroom curtain. I need to find a nice place to sew though, Dylan is not a fan of the noisy machine 😉 It looks like a lot of little odd jobs that I had better get to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thunder and Ice

It is so icy outside today, and school has been canceled. This morning we even had Thunder-sleet, it was so strange. The Ice was coming down while it was Thundering and Lightening, we have some of the strangest weather in my neck of the woods. The ice is still coming down, and looks like it is here to stay for the day.

I think we will be in all day. Yesterday we got all of the outdoor errands accomplished, thank goodness.  Today I’ll be doing odd jobs around the house, and cleaning in the kitchen. We might even get out the Play-Doh at Dylan’s afternoon nap, so Thade and I can play.

Are you in a Winter Wonderland today, or is it nice and sunny at your house today?

Stay Ahead of the Weather

I’m going to need an extra cup of coffee this morning, it is awfully cold outside. It also looks like Wintry weather is moving in and here to stay through Friday. We had better get out and get the errands run early, even though it is going to be super cold 😉 Here is the plan for today:

  • Order my Brother’s Birthday Present
  • Get gas in my car for Hubby (it was $3.09 yesterday, ouch)
  • Go to Dollar General (cat food and kitty litter)
  •  Wash all of the dishes in the Kitchen
  • Put away 2 loads of laundry
  • Clean out the Fridge and Freezer

I might end up running to the store too, hopefully we’ll stay ahead of the Wintry mix 😉

It is so Loud Over Here

My little guy has learned that he has a voice, and my goodness he knows how to use it! It has been non-stop screaming at his Big Brother for taking his toy, screaming at Mom because it is time to eat (again), screaming at Dad to be carried around. This little one is so loud 😉

Last night my hubby attempted to escape to the quiet of the upstairs land, but nothing could soften the screams and squeals from Dylan, Thade was attempting to take a toy, and Dylan was not going to let that fly. Its funny I don’t remember Thade being loud just to be loud, he would coo and giggle. Dylan is completely different, if he is happy he screams, mad he screams, tired he screams, I think you get the picture…

I guess it is just his personality, it sure is a loud one 🙂
