Our Little Cottage

Good Afternoon!

Good Afternoon!

Thanks for dropping by for a visit!

Yesterday evening I took the time to make some baby wipes.  I still make them from paper towels, baby soap, and baby oil.  I'm looking into making some cloth ones that I can just wash right along with my little man's cloth diapers.  I have some old receiving blankets packed away up in our attic that I should be able to use. 

I also made up a batch of clothes washing detergent.  It has been such a savings using homemade compared to running to the store everytime I need more.  I need to look into making homemade dryer sheets next!

Last night for dinner we had a quick meal!  (Gotta love those!)  Tuna melts and mac-n-cheese.  It was yummy!  We also watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2 together.  It was the first time we've watched it...and are now VERY anxious to watch the 3rd one!!

After the movie, I had the older two get to sleep.  They were the only ones still awake.  I took advantage of that time to go take a nice hot shower!  I even got out one of my new night gowns that I hadn't worn yet to put on!  It was really nice and relaxing!

This morning I woke up at about 9:30am.  Zach and Liam (the two youngest ones) woke up around the same time as I did.  Zach went and played quietly in his room, and Liam played quietly in his playpen. 

I started a load of laundry.  Mostly my clothes!  I needed some for today.  Came to the kitchen and cleaned off the counters by rinsing some dishes and getting them ready to be put in the dishwasher.  Started some bread in the bread machine.  I also started some coffe for myself and for Danny for when he woke up.

I just switched the laundry and started a load of cloth diapers for Liam.  I have to wash diapers everyday to make sure he has them to wear.

We are having banana pancakes for brunch today.  They are smelling really really good cooking on the griddle!!

Danny and Frosty went out in our backyard to shoot Frosty's BB gun.  Frost has been trying for DAYS to get Danny to take him back there!  They are both now out working on our habitat garden.

Danny has changed our pond.  He dug out more dirt to make it bigger!  He now needs to get with his uncle again to go get more big rocks.  Also he needs a truck load of the little pea gravel for inside the pond and for our walkway thru the garden.

I need to go finish up our banana pancakes.  I think I might cut up another banana or two to sprinkle on top! 

Have a Terrific Thursday!
