Yesterday Thade was busy drawing, so I asked what he was drawing. He said Kansas City, and he also said that he really missed Kansas City… I do too.
It looks like we are going to have to go and visit Uncle Rob in the city soon.
A Little Project
This week I finally cleaned and organized the Foyer. After all of the cleaning was finished, I decided to work on a little project. I grabbed my level and a screwdriver, and I hung a little Coat Rack for the kiddos.
I hung the Coat Rack right by the front door, at Thade’s level. There is plenty of room for their Winter coats, and Thade’s backpack too. The best part, the kiddos can reach up to grab their own coats, and they are responsible for hanging up their jackets too.
I used a basket that I already had on hand to store all of the Winter hats and scarves. I hope to find a little wooden step-stool (that I can paint) to place under the coat rack as a mini shoe-rack. Maybe I’ll come across one at the Spring time yard sales.
All in all I’m happy with how the project turned out, and I love how neat and tidy the coats are. Now time to get the living room organized (again)… the projects continue.
A Night Out
Today my hubby and I are having a night out. I’m super excited! We are taking the kiddos to a sitter, and then we are off to dinner with his co-workers. It is a belated Christmas dinner, but I know it is going to be fun. Some of the MOPS moms (and hubbies) are meeting at the same restaurant, so I hope to see some of my friends tonight too. I can’t wait to get out of here for a bit, enjoy a little break and, oh yeah, no dishes to wash tonight too.
What are your weekend plans? Are you staying in or heading out tonight?
What a Busy (but fun) Day
This morning we woke up to snow, and you know I am no fan of snow. The kiddos were thrilled though, and Thade desperately wanted to get out and make a snow Angel. Since it was almost time for school, I thought he had better not, so he was already mad at me, and we hadn’t even left the house yet.
I loaded up the car, and went on ahead and started it, because it was just too cold. The kiddos were slow going to get out of the door today, and we were almost late to preschool, thanks to some slick roads. I was headed back across town to go to MOPS, and as I was going up a hill the traction on my car kicked on, so I didn’t slide back down the hill. Yeah, I am so not a fan of Winter weather.
MOPS was fun today, and the breakfast was delicious. We had a fun demonstration, and we all got to decorate Cupcakes. All of my boys were happy about the surprise dessert at lunch today.
After MOPS I was back across town to pick up Thade, and then we were going to pick up lunch for James too. So one more trip back across town to grab lunch, and then another trip back across town to have lunch with Dad.
After lunch we were finally headed home, and both of my kiddos are so tired. I hope that it will be a quiet afternoon, and maybe I can get a few chores done around the house. The dishes are piling up in the kitchen (again) and I’m still playing catch-up on the laundry.
I hope that everyone is having a great Friday, and I bet everyone is ready for the weekend! Stay warm and toasty today, and watch out for the snow.
Maybe I’m Watching Too Much
Maybe I’m watching too much children’s programming, but for some reason this week it is better than ever. Yesterday Neil Patrick Harris and Kim Cattrall were both on Sesame Street, and today Jack Black made an appearance (awesome). Yo Gabba Gabba! had the Shins on yesterday too, and they are one of my favorite bands, super awesome. I’ve love the episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba! that featured the Postmarks, and Mates of State for the Super Music Friend Show, yeah I so wish this show was around when I was a kiddo.
Do your kiddos have a favorite show, that you don’t mind watching too?
