Our Little Cottage

A Good Day...

After brunch cleanup yesterday afternoon I sat down in the rocker recliner to watch Danny & Frost play video games.  I ended up falling asleep for about 1 hr in the chair. 

I woke up around 4:00pm.  Knowing that Danny and Frosty had to leave soon for baseball practice I hurried up with a snack for all of us.  I cored, peeled, and sliced a few apples.  (I LOVE my apple peeler...one of the best inventions EVER!!)  Put the slices in a pan and covered them with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup.  I also sliced up some of the bread that I made yesterday morning and added butter.  I put on a sugar/cinnamon mix too.  I heated the bread up just enough for the butter to melt in the microwave.  It was a very yummy snack!  We all loved it!  Even picky eater Zach!

When Danny and Frost were gone I worked on my kitchen.  I wanted to get ALL the clutter up and off the floor!  We had a stack of boxes on one wall.  They have been waiting for me to go thru them...but I've been avoiding it!  Which I guess I still am because I moved them to my bedroom!

I swept and mopped.  Oh my floor needed it so bad!  It looked really bad!  It's looking much better now!  I also took down my curtains on my kitchen window and found the one that belongs on my back door window and washed them.  The one that goes on my door window, the seam was ripping out.  I didn't have any thread the right color to fix it, so I used safety pins until I can get some new thread.  You don't even see the pins!

I was able to clean some of my cabinet doors.  How does all the icky stuff get on those??  I don't know, but I got a lot off.

For dinner I made hash brown casserole and salads.  I was hoping that we could make some smores for dessert, but dinner took a little longer than I was hoping and it was late by the time we got done.

Liam had a rough night last night.  He was not happy!  I changed him, tried to give him a cup of milk, tried to feed him, tried to give him his blanket and binkie...he didn't want ANYTHING!  Holding him worked, but he gets so heavy so quickly!  Without my sling I can't hold him for long! 

The little boys and I had a rough night.  They both woke up a few times whinning throughout the night and into this morning.  We finally got up "officially" around 10am this morning.  Arlee and Frost were up earlier so I let them spend some time playing on the computer.

After getting up I started some laundry, cleaned off my counters in the kitchen, started the dish washer, and got the coffee going.  Since then I've been sitting here on the computer!  Moving a little slower today because of not having a good nights sleep...not that I usually have one, but last night was even worse than usual.

Danny is up now so I need to get our brunch started!  I'm hungry!  I didn't make a breakfast "snack" this morning when I got up to tide me over until he woke up.  So now I'm STARVING!

Have a Great Day!
