All the Dirty Laundry

I have no idea how this happens, but somehow the dirty laundry has piled up (again). I think I’ve got about 5 loads to do, and I need to wash the kiddos bedding too. Looks like it is going to be laundry day at Nico’s house today.Oh yeah, dishes too, as soon as Dylan takes a much needed nap.

How has your weekend been? Are you catching up on housework too?

Super Pancake Saturday

Since Pancakes have taken over as number one breakfast, I’ve decided that Saturday’s are Pancake days. Today I made a quadruple batch, and everyone was happy with the tasty breakfast. I hope that this time there will be enough pancakes left for the freezer.

Afternoon at the Park

As Thade was leaving preschool today, his best friend’s Mom asked if we were planning on going to the park this afternoon… I thought that sounded like a great idea, and the weather was perfect for the kiddos to spend an afternoon out of the house. We decided to meet after lunch, and Thade and Dylan couldn’t wait to go!

All of the boys had a blast playing in the park and enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Dylan was a little tired after spending the afternoon at the park, so I bet he takes an extra long nap today.

Party Planning Questions

It seems like I have been on the phone non-stop the last few days calling one place after another for Thade’s party. I made the task a little easier by setting up a spreadsheet with all of my questions to ask, and the locations of where I hope to have the party.

Here is my list:

  • How much does it cost to book the location?
  • Is there a deposit that is needed before we can book the location?
  • What date/times are available to book the party?
  • How long can the party be?
  • What foods/beverages do you supply?
  • Will you supply party favors/decorations?
  • Can we bring in our own dessert?
  • How many people can we invite/is there a minimum?
  • Are there any clean-up fees?

Whew! I had better get back to the party planning!

The Return of the Impala

Well the good news and the bad news. My car is coming home today! It had a complete BCM (computer) failure, but it can be replaced, and it is nothing that I could have avoided with timely oil changes and good car maintenance. The price tag of the repairs was under what we were expecting too, but are you ever truly happy when you see a car repair bill?!?

I’m relieved that my car will be home this afternoon, and I know James is too. Thanks to my hubby for being so good about sharing his car too!
