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 🙂

Who Will Win?

Are you watching the Daytona 500 today? I’m hoping for a Matt Kenseth (#17) win, and the boys are all cheering for Kevin Harvick (#29)! It would be nice to a see Dale Earnhardt Jr. (#88) win too 🙂

If you are watching the race today, who are you cheering for?

Baking the Cake

Today I had plans to make a 4 layer cake for my birthday. I was going to alternate White Cake (dyed pink), and Chocolate Cake, and smother the entire cake in Vanilla Icing. I’ve got the Perfectly Pink Cake out of the oven, and I’m a little nervous about attempting to cut it in half. My birthday cake might just turn into a 3 Layer Cake instead 🙂

I also went to Walgreens today to buy a few more packs of Diapers, and my friend told me that all of the Valentine’s Day candy was on sale for %50 off! I bought a few, well maybe more than just a few of the treats. I think I’ll share the goodies with our company tomorrow.

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 🙂
