Still Iced In

My hubby reported in that the side streets are a sheet of ice, and in terrible condition today. It looks like we are going to spend another day indoors, time to think of some fun things to do with Thade, he is moping around the house today. I’ll be working on cleaning my closet (again), and de-cluttering and organizing the Living Room. We have way too many toys downstairs, and I need to get a system in place to take care of all of the clutter.

I also hope to get all of the dishes washed and all caught up today too. And then there are those 4 loads of laundry that need put away upstairs, and those 3 loads that need washed, it looks like another day of catch-up work 😉

Are you iced/snowed in today, or is the weather better in your neck of the woods?

Cleaning Up

We are iced in today, so I’m glad that we got all of the errands finished during the weekend. Since it is way too yucky outside, I’m cleaning the house inside.  I’ve already gotten a lot accomplished, but there is still a lot to be done this afternoon.

This morning I started cleaning upstairs, and organizing my closet(so messy). I would really like to paint my closet and get all of the clutter under control! I might need to put Canvas Bins on my birthday wish list. I got all of the rooms swept and new sheets on the beds. Next I need to empty all of the trash cans, but Dylan is napping, so I’ll wait a little later on that task.

This afternoon I have been catching up on all of the dishes. I’m down to just 1-2 sink-fulls left that still need washing. Thade had fun playing Play-Doh on the kitchen table, while Mommy washed the endless pile of sippy cups and tiny spoons. I need to get better at staying on top of all of the dirty dishes. I’m also on my second load of laundry, and I’ve swept and Swiffered downstairs too.

I’m pretty happy with all that has been done so far, I wish my closet was a little cleaner 😉 I guess if we are still iced in tomorrow, I’ll get to clean on my closet a little bit more…

A Little Tired

I am so tired this evening, and I still have two boys that need baths… We made it to Walgreens for the great buy on the diapers and a few other necessities. We also went to Wal-Mart for groceries and to get my car in and see what was going on with the tires. It was about a 2 hour walk around the store with the kiddos, and my very helpful Thade demanding to push the cart. It turned out to be nothing wrong with the tires, and they thought that the low tire pressure might be due to the fluctuating weather that have had. So $19.00 and no problem, but at least it wasn’t new tires that I needed.

Both of the boys were exhausted by the time that we made it home, and Dylan took a nice long nap. I got in the kitchen and made Oatmeal Muffins for hubby’s breakfast, and Homemade Chicken & Noodles and Mashed Potatoes for dinner. It is so much fun to make Noodles from scratch, but the kitchen is a little messy now. Oh well, the mess can wait until tomorrow 🙂 Let’s hope that the kiddos sleep in tomorrow morning!

Getting to the Store Today

I wanted to avoid a big trip to Wal-Mart, but I have a tire that is getting low, and I think in need of a patch, so it looks like we’ll be making a run there today. I’m also going to run to Walgreens while we are out, they have some great deals this week. Here is what I’m shopping for:

  • 6 Pack Snickers Candy Bars (for my hubby) $1.99
  • Jumbo Pack Walgreens Diapers 2 for $11.98
  • Walgreens Facial Tissue 100 or 200 ct $.99 (with store coupon, limit 3)
  • Ajax Dish Liquid 2 for $1.79 (with store coupon, limit 4)

We seem to be going through about 3 boxes of Tissues a week, so I’m buying the limit on those 🙂 I hope to get both stores done today, and get my tire fixed too. It is going to be a busy day around here 🙂

I Think I’ll be Cleaning All Weekend

Even Superheroes must do laundry!

 

Yep that’s Spiderman helping out with the laundry, he was folding washcloths 😉  Thade has this habit of bringing me his Superhero Helpers wherever I’m cooking, folding laundry, washing dishes, or cleaning. He always says that they are “helping out too” 🙂 It cracks me up!

 

This weekend I’m finally feeling better, and there is so much to catch up on. Laundry(putting away and washing), Dishes(way too many),  both bathrooms need cleaned, and there is that grocery list to tackle too. The weather is so nice today, so if there are any outdoor errands I had better get them done soon 🙂 I hear my little Dylan, I guess those chores will have to wait a little bit longer…
