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?

Nico’s Daily To Do’s

I’m a big list maker, and having a set schedule really helps me out (thanks O.C.D.) I’ve been working on my daily to do list off and on, and I think I finally have a pretty good list together. I’m still revising my weekly and monthly to do’s 😉 So here we go:

Nico’s Daily To Do List:

A.M.:

  • Make Beds
  • Make Breakfast for everybody
  •  Feed and Water Cats (Thade’s chore most days)
  • Wash Dishes
  • Empty Upstairs Trash Cans
  • Clean High Chair
  • Wash at least 1 Load of Laundry
  • Make Lunch for everybody
  • Clean Kitchen Surfaces

Afternoon:

  • Sweep Kitchen, Dining Room, Foyer
  • Swiffer/Vacuum Living Room
  • Fold Laundry
  • Empty the Downstairs Trash Cans
  • Take out the Trash
  • Put away Clean Laundry
  • Dust and Windex Downstairs
  • Bills, E-mails, Nicostuff Orders, and Phone Calls

Evening:

  • Make Dinner and Dylan’s Nighttime Bottles
  • Sweep Kitchen and Dining Room
  • Wash Dishes
  • Make Coffee for Tomorrow (very important)
  • Feed and Water Cats

I’m pretty sure that I forgot a few things, and I know there will always be something new to add to the list. I hope that having my new list will keep me on track with all of the daily housework 🙂

 

Are you a list maker too? What are a few of your daily To Do’s?

Party Clean Up

I’m catching up today, and cleaning up from the party. We all had such a fun weekend, and I greatly enjoyed the break from the kitchen 🙂  Everyone visited yesterday to watch the Daytona 500 and celebrate the big 28 with me. We had lots of yummy cake too. I have lots to get accomplished around the house today, and dishes and laundry to catch up too 🙂

It Is The Big 28 For Me Today :)

Yep its my birthday 🙂 The big 28!

 

We don’t have too many plans for today, but I will be in the kitchen attempting a 4 Layer Cake for tomorrow! Dylan did gave me a cool gift, he slept through the entire night last night (no nursing), so I got a solid 7 hours of sleep 🙂 I think I’m going to sneak out of the house today and leave the kids with my hubby and do a little shopping. James is treating us all to dinner at my favorite restaurant tonight, so no cooking for me!

 

Tomorrow we are having a little party, and all of the family over to watch the Daytona 500. If Matt Kenseth (#17) or Jimmie Johnson (#48) wins this race, it will be a great birthday weekend for me 🙂  On a side note James is hoping Kevin Harvick (#29) wins this one again, and Dylan agrees with him. Thade is favoring Carl Edwards (#99), or maybe his other favorite Kasey Kahne (#9).  It looks like it is going to be a fun weekend 🙂
