10/9/10 - Cleaning & Partying

Well, we spent a majority of the day cleaning the house today. I cleaned up the laundry/cats room, the office, the spare bedroom and the downstairs living room. I gathered up all of the "need to put in storage" items, and got them packed up under the stairs. Christian cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed the upstairs. Clean house = happy me! It never stays that way for long though...

We did take a break from the cleaning to party it up. My Grandma's birthday was this week, so we met up with most of the family at her house to have cake (um, Dairy Queen cake to be exact...delicious!). Olivia had the time of her life with all of the other kids. They had a huge leaf pile going on and they were all jumping and rolling around in it. It was hilarious, Olivia could not stop laughing. It was good to see everybody...however, Amelia did not feel the same. She cried, and cried, and cried some more...the entire time we were there. We finally decided not to subject the family to it any longer, and headed home. Oh, the joys.

After the kids were in bed, we made sure everything was ready basically ready for the tomorrow so we weren't running around like crazy all morning. We can't wait to celebrate Amelia's baptism tomorrow! In sad news...today was Game 3 for the Twins against the Yankees...and yes, they lost. They are out, again. They were swept by the Yankees, again. The Yankees will probably make it to the World Series, again. Seriously, how boring to watch the same dumb team win/make it EVERY year. Dumb...time for the usual saying at the end of a Minnesota team's season..."There's Always Next Year!". Blah.

Here are some pictures from Grandma's house!
