The Kitchen is Smelling Good

I’m taking a little break from the cleaning to start on the Thanksgiving Baking. I’m way happier now that I’m busy in the kitchen, baking goodies. So far I’ve made 2 Dutch Apple Pies to take to Church tomorrow, and Thade requested a batch of Snickerdoodles. How could I say no to that…

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day of baking, so I might try and get a few more items made today. I’m baking 2 Peach Pies and an Apricot Bundt Cake to take along with the Dutch Apple Pies. I’m also going on ahead and baking the Homemade Dinner Rolls and Pumpkin Pie for our Thanksgiving dinner. I might make a few more batches of snacks so we have plenty to munch on while we are playing Apples to Apples on Thanksgiving.

Cleaning Day Two

Yesterday while Thade was in school, I cleaned as fast as I could. Today both boy’s are home so I don’t know just how much I’ll actually get accomplished. I’m focusing on the Kitchen and the Upstairs Bathroom today, and I’ve armed the kiddos with distractions!

While I was washing dishes, and Thade was chatting my ear off about Christmas Presents, I asked “who wants to help with the dusting?” Both kiddos happily replied “ME!” So I looked under the sink and found 2 Swiffer Dusters and told the kiddos to “get busy dusting the house.”

Both boys tore through the house dusting everything in sight, and they were having a great time too. I really appreciate the help and I know they were both proud of all of their hard work.

Back to it, the messy kitchen is waiting.
