Today was another busy day around the house. I don't think you realize just how much stuff you have laying all around the house until it's time to put everything away and get ready for the snow to fly!
The girls had us up last night. They were both up screaming and crying, so there's no telling who woke who up, but they were both very upset about it. We got them calmed down and back to sleep, but once you get used to those quiet nights of uninterrupted sleep, it's hard to get up like that.
This morning we had a nice little family breakfast and relaxed for a little while. Then, it was time to work, work, work. Today's long list of tasks included, moving the deck furniture down underneath the deck, along with the two patio furniture sets, the kids' slide, picnic table and sand and water table. Gathering up all of the yard lights, tiki torches, hoses, sprinklers and the remaining yard decorations and packing it all away. Put down the winter fertilizer (so, YAY, officially done with yard work for the year!). And, cleaned up the garage one last time.
In addition to that fun, we moved the car seat from Christian's truck into my car, and installed the new seats in the truck. I'm anxious to see what Amelia things about her new seats. And, I'm kind of hoping that seeing Amelia in her chair, rear-facing, will make Olivia want to rear-face again...then Christian can't fight me on it! LOL. I folded a few loads of laundry and packed up the girls' "daycare" bag for the week, did the dishes and did a little general picking up around the house while the girls napped. Can I just say, I feel incredibly blessed that we have the girls on the same sleep schedule, and we get a nice 3 hour nap from them. More than enough time to get some stuff done and get a little down time in!
Mix in a little football watching, some cooking and a lot of playing and laughs with the girls, and with that, we ended our busy weekend around the house. Another good one for the books!
Here are a couple pictures for today. First, apparently we took too long to get the girls when they woke up this morning...we found Olivia in Amelia's crib, and they were just hanging out like it was play time. Second, Amelia's cute self outside while we were cleaning up.
