Today’s To Do’s

It is still very cold outside, so I am going to try and postpone grocery shopping until tomorrow, I think that the weather is going to be better. I’ll be doing little tasks around the house and watching the Nationwide Race this afternoon 😉 Here is the plan for today:

  • Wash 3 loads of laundry
  • Put away 6 loads of laundry
  • Clean out the Litter-box
  • Bring trash cans to the yard
  • Empty downstairs trash cans, and take the trash out
  • Clean and organize/de-clutter living room toys (again)
  • Bake a Peach Pie
  • Make Egg Noodles for tonight’s Tonight’s Turkey and Noodles
  • Watch the Nationwide race 🙂 Let’s see Kevin Harvick win today!
  • Get my grocery shopping list together with coupons

I hope that the warm weather returns soon 🙂 I almost forgot I need to reset all of the clocks as it is daylight savings time again, one more thing to add to the list. Have a great weekend everybody!

Surprises in the Mail

We ran out to Walgreens this morning for Tissues and Diapers, and when we made it home, I noticed a package on the front step.  I hadn’t ordered anything, so maybe it wasn’t for me. Thade ran to the door, and picked up the package, and it was addressed to me. Hmmmm, so we went inside and I opened up the box, inside was a Euro-Pro Shark Steam Cleaner. I was so excited, and I called my Mom to see if she had sent the mystery package. She had, I really appreciated the surprise gift, it made my day, and it is going to come in very handy with all of the Spring Cleaning! Thanks again Mom for the super cool gift 🙂 I’m off to clean the kitchen.

Just what time is it?

Well Dylan popped up this morning promptly at 6:30 a.m., a quick diaper change, and he was back to sleep. I came in to hubby’s office to get on my laptop for just a bit, and at 6:45 a.m. Thade is wide awake, and is hanging out with me at the moment. So long sleeping in till 7:00 a.m., these two just keep waking up earlier and earlier.

Oh well, we’ll get an early start to the day 😉 It looks like it might snow today, and we need to make a run to Walgreens. We are out of tissues again, we must have a lot of allergies around here. James has a half day at work today, so I know Thade will be thrilled about that!

Good morning everybody, I  hope that your morning didn’t start off too early 😉

Choosing Between the Two

We both really like the blue and green wall paper. I made the little newsprint curtains, and I think they will go well with either choice. We have a small 1/2 bath in the utility room that is also going to need wall paper, so I might use the pink wall paper in there. Now we are also thinking about putting wall paper in the Master Bedroom as an accent wall, so many choices, and so much to do…

Paint or Paper

Well there is a lot of Spring decorating going on in our house along with the cleaning. Hubby brought me home super yummy breakfast today: Sausage Rolls, and Maple Long John’s, and Donut Holes for Thade they were all so tasty. I got out one of my favorite Wall Paper Books to go through, and get James opinion on a few options.

We need to paint just about every square inch of the house, and I’m finally able to help. When we started the painting project almost 2 years ago, I was preggers, and I couldn’t help at all. Now I’m finished nursing, and Dylan is taking better naps, so it is time to get these painting projects finished.

The kitchen might need to be first. Last Summer I was so sick of looking at the icky wall paper, that I started ripping it down, so we have some very interesting walls at the moment. James and I are both completely sick of the state of the kitchen, and I think we’ve found a paper that we both like. I wanted to do the kitchen in Baby Pink, Black, and White, and I even found graphic Wall paper to match it.  While we were flipping through the book, we found the same graphic pattern only in Retro Light Orange, Light Blue, and Light Green, we both love the colors and the pattern too. The kitchen is going to be a retro 50s throw back, which is perfect for me! I think we have a winner, now I just have to get hubby to place the order.

I can’t wait to get started!!! 🙂 Are you Spring painting too?
