It has been a fabulously productive day...and my kids have been wonderful so I have been able to accomplish so much. I love days like this! This morning Karter and I went out and planted acorn and butternut squash, white and gold pumpkins, gords and tomatoes (which will probably die due to the lovely wind). Karter was so much help...he really actually was. Then while I tried to figure out how to set the sprinkler so we could water the potatoes and onions Karter rode his four wheeler around.
After lunch I decided my kitchen floor was long overdue for a scrubbing. Not just a mop but a good ole down on your hands and knees scrub. No fun! But I did it. While on my hands and knees I noticed how nasty my trim was looking....so I started another job. Which turned into cleaning the trim and doors in the whole upstairs. Both of my darlings were still awake while I was doing this. They were so good. My living room was destroyed but they were good.
Karter was playing with Girl Rabbit (Karl bought Karter a bunny on Saturday, Karter named her Girl Rabbit) so I had to stop every now and then to make sure the poor thing was still alive. It was a close call a few times. Once I found them on my bed with the pillows piled five high and Girl Rabbit sitting on the top one. Not so bad...the next time I found them on my bed, the pillows piled five high and Girl Rabbit no where in sight. I found her at the bottom of the pile under all the pillows which Karter thought was hilarious. Once she was riding around on Sunny's back, another time being dragged along by her ears...that one thanks to Hudson. I decided she had been tortured long enough so she went back in her box and the boys went down for a nap.
I moved on to scrubbing the bathtubs. My dad and Patty are coming on Friday so I had to make sure the bathrooms were in tip-top shape. I used my handy-dandy Mr. Clean magic eraser. Those things are amazing! Scrubbing the tub has never been so easy and the results are fabulous. So come on over Patty-Lou. I'm ready...I think my tubs would even pass good ole Christine's germ-a-phob code.
Last but not least I made a pan of homemade chicken enchiladas for dinner oh and I did some laundry. AND it's only 4:30. Look at me! I'm tooting my own horn.
But I still can't find my camera.

Toot away! What a day! I had a hard time getting motivated today at work, so to hear that SoMeonE had a productive day somehow makes me feel better! LOL I laughed so hard at the Girl Rabbit story. Your kids are freakin cute!

Hey Sadie I came across your blog on Heidi's blog. How nice to see you are doing good and with two kids. I don't know if you know, but i'm now 7 1/2 months pregnant. I remember when you were pregnant and working at Eastern Podiatry. We are having a girl and so excited about it. We'll you take care.

Glad to hear from you. I don't have facebook. You know soon we'll be moving to Las Vegas in September. I miss being around family, the people I know, and the things I'm so used to in the states. Life is so much easier over there. So, you should plan a trip to Chile soon, before we leave. :)

No, we are staying in Vegas. I graduated from UNLV already, Jano is going to start school next year in Vegas. We are going the easy way for right now. We'll hopefully find jobs and settle just fine.
