what the lettuce??

I wish i could read the minds of my children so i could figure out why when they do things.

For example:

I was reading a few things the other day in the front room (i was out of the room for 10 minutes) i open the door to the kitchen and i hear running.  I know this is not a good thing.  Evelyn has clearly been up to no good.  I walk in and there is lettuce, everywhere!



I find her and ask her why she decided that this was a good idea.  She said that she was making me lunch.  awwww thank you, but nice try.

as punishment i had her pick up every piece and had her count everyone she picked up and threw away. i did have to help count once she got past 20.  I believe we ended on 117.

i asked if she was going to do this again and she said "no mom i'm done counting." :) mmmwhaha.

week

okay my goals for this week are:

1. clean the house top to bottom & i mean spotless
2. keep said spotless house that way
3. paint front living room, and maybe get the family room done too
4. if i can't paint family room get all crayon/pencil/marker off the wall stat.
5. make sure house doesn't smell like cat/dirty diapers/feet or any other nasty smell.
6. stay sane.

Why would i be so crazy about getting the house clean when in fact it honestly is NEVER EVER clean?!?!

Well i'm glad you asked cause there will be a little shindig going down at me casa this coming Saturday.  coolness.

Its a Harry Potter Party.  A friend of mine as throwing the party and I'm letting her use my house cause it can fit a few more peeps.

Hey if you'd like to join us in our awesomeness shoot me an email or find me on that facepalm and I'll send you the info. :)

Have a super duper Independence Day folks!!
