He Never Learns

Or maybe I should say I never learn ...

Sawyer dropped the lotion-covered ball and it bounced all over my clean hardwood floors. Fun. I was vacuuming the family room when I realized Sawyer and Spenser were just too quiet. They tried to clean up their mess with tissues, thereby smearing it into the carpet further.

The lotion is in the trash now.

These photos are always funny when it is someone else's kids ;) So far my kids have left the lotion alone in this house, thank goodness.

Did Sawyer cry just before the photo was taken? Looks like tears..guilty conscience??

I remember once when our twins were about two years old they emptied a can of shaving cream. It was a huge mess but the house smelled great! Of course I took loads of pictures. We laugh about it now... :)

I found your blog-and I love it! I love your sewing talent-I am so jealous!!! Going to the white house-how awesome is that? You have six kids and you have not lost your mind yet!:) So-I am hoping that I can come back and get mcre inspiration! You rock!
I have a 3 year old-she too is banned from the lotion. What is it with slimy stuff and little people? Gotta love it when they smear it in the carpet! So-please come by and say hi!

Seriously, those eyes? *sigh*

I'd have a very hard time being stern with such a cutie patootie.

FWIW, I picked up a bar of coco butter in hawaii last year that you rub on your skin (body heat is enough to make it soften just a little) It smells great. And, um, there's no lotion on the carpet. Just sayin'. xoxo

Later in life, persistence will be a great quality.
And what he can't get with persistence, those beautiful eyes should take care of.

Always beware of the quiet. Around my house that's a sure sign of trouble! He looks so sad that he was naughty. What a sweetie!

If it's too quiet, I sometimes run to see what my kids are doing. Quiet is never good!

Oh my goodness! It kills me that they tried cleaning up after themselves. And I bet they have nice soft skin. :)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
