Just Another Exciting Wednesday...

OK, so I have not posted much this year...like only one post in both Feb and Mar! Just tooooo sad. Since nothing earthshattering has been going on, I decided to document what I did on a normal Wednesday...well, um...OK, normal really doesn't enter into the picture at our house, so just THIS last Wednesday! ;)

I made breakfast for the younger kids after the girls were off to school...and Sam took his toast and put it somewhere where Izzy could get to it, and BOY was she happy about that! :D Yummmm carpet-fuzz toast, my specialty!

OK, after my normal morning tidy/clean/un-disasterize of the downstairs, I decided to load my latest scrapbook layout into my album. I am trying to pick all the best pics from the month I am doing and put them all on one page- so far it has worked out very well! I still do a single or double page layout for holidays or Bdays or other big stuff, but since I am like seven years behind I figured it is time to try ANYTHING to catch up! Yeah, the baby in those pics is Amanda...my 8 year old!!! Yeeks.

Part of the difficulty of catching up with my scrapbooking (aside from having ANY spare time to do it!) is that I don't have any specific place to keep my stuff out while I am working. I have had to just use the kitchen table...and three times a day I have to clear it off, not exactly the most time-efficient way to get anything done!!! So I bought a large magnetic white board to keep my current layout on, I use a bunch of tiny magnets to keep all the pieces in place (because using adhesive is my last step) in case I have to move it. Genius, wot? :D But even that brilliance has been thwarted! It is a large freakin' white board, and I can't just put it on the floor....because of Izzy and choking and because of Sam and his penchant for 'rearranging'! :D Soooooo I was a genius once again, and I rolled out one of my laundry sorter carts and I put it up there, not only to keep it away from the kids, but it is actually nice to work from too!!! Hee hee!!! Either you are impressed with my inventiveness, or you are thinking...that chick is weird...possibly both!

Another problem is that due to my lack of one space for my scrappin'/craft stuff it is squirrelled away all over the house! So when I am working on a layout I am running all over grabbing stuff from everywhere! Which ends up strewn all over the table and a pain too, so I bought this little rubber tote for like $4, so all the big stuff can be easily loaded into it, used, moved around, and then toted back to be put away. I know, genius right?!!

I then went through all the kids clothes, and picked out everything that doesn't fit anymore, tossed a bunch in the Goodwill bag, and then separated it into sizes...I then braved the spider-ridden garage *shudder* to store it away in the rubbermaids that I organized, yet again, by size a few weeks ago. It was a project LONG overdue, and I am so glad I got it done!!! :D

I did NOT clean the kitchen floor like I should have...as you can see this is just one tile, and it needed to be done, but I was just NOT up to it. (Don't worry I did it the next day)

Thanks to the wonderful people at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue and thier really large portions I didn't have to make lunch- leftovers from yesterday of that BBQ chicken ....YUMMMMMMMY! I know it is too greasy, but so freakin' delicious! If you ever get the chance to go- DO IT!!

Of course after lunch and Izzy was down for her nap, Sam was watching a movie (Bolt is his current fave, he throws his arms up in the air and yells "YEAH!!!" every time at the end when Bolt does the 'Super Bark' to save Penny...SO CUTE!!! That movie is hysterical!!! )

anyway...
...rather than tend to that nasty kitchen floor I dinked on facebook!!! Ahhh, facebook- my link to the outside world away from diapers and cleaning. :) So silly, but it is so much fun to catch up with so many old friends!!! Besides...

I LOVE my computer, so many of my friends live in it! :D Tee Hee! :D

Lucky for me this was one of the FEW days that Sam took a nap early, like at 2pm! Hallilujah!!! Would you just LOOK at those eyelashes? Holy cow, I am always amazed at how long they are, why is it that the boys get the longest lashes ever? Doesn't seem fair! :D

Since I STILL didn't want to do the kitchen floor, I decided to finish my current scrapbook layout...I was planning on cropping these pics nice and tight to show them better, but hey, I am feeling pretty good that this post is even happening! :D

Once my cute Amanda and Emily got home from school we did our usual homework, dinner, bathtime, yelling from Mom to clean up, bedtime routine...none of which I had the time nor inclination to document! :D

*Oh, aren't those vests the girls are wearing adorable? Super huge THANK YOU goes out to Josh's lovely sister the esteemed Aunt Rebekah, she is a FAB crochet-er...The girls love them so much, and they are so dang cute! Thanks Bekah!!! :D Come visit soon!!!*

OK, I...hey...you there.....WAKE UP!!!! I am finally done, you may go on with your much more exciting life- and thank me later for putting it all in perspective! ;)
