Well, good morning. It's Saturday and I'm UP ALREADY and it's 6:30. The cats were out of food, Maddy made a few noises and Ruthie wouldn't stop jumping on the bed. Then my allergies kicked in. So here I am, up. This seems to happen EVERY Saturday.
Today I have a lot of straightening up to do. I want to really take a look at that basement today and start getting it finished off. We still have some random junk floating around in our family room, the spare room isn't quite finished (which is fine) but it could use a bit more decorating and those racks in the laundry room are going to get taken down this weekend.
Have I mentioned Matt and I are going away next weekend? It seemed like it was so far away when we made the plans last month and here it is, upon us! It's so nice of Matt's folks to come on up and stay with Maddy so Matt and I can get out overnight for a couple nights. They are always great about kicking us out of the house anyway--whether out to eat or overnight.
Then on Sunday my parents should be here too when we get back! They just firmed up plans this last week. They are driving down since they have a lot of my old toys they'd like Maddy to have. It's also stuff my mom played with as well. One of them is a wooden table and chair set for Maddy. I'm really excited for that. It will give her a nice place to color!
Well, my children at play signs came yesterday. They are corrugated yellow plastic. They are exactly what I wanted. Last night I went out to Card Factory Outlet and bought two pinwheels, two sprays (silver tinsel that sticks up) and balloon weights. I will tape the pinwheels and sprays to it to make it stand out even more. The weights will help it not tip over even though, really, they are pretty heavy. Of course, I can't just leave what I came for. I bought a couple silly necklaces for Maddy and some plastic summerware as well. It'll be great for her to use. I bought some cards for cheap, too.
I stopped at Giant for a few groceries and then headed home.
Maddy and I played outside in the pool yesterday. We also met daddy for lunch at his work. Maddy loves going to see Matt during the day and loves to run around his towne center with him. I have a couple cute pictures and a short video of it on the gallery if you're interested.
Gotta go! Things to do!
Tea of the day: Gloria Jeans Cinnamon Spice tea
WO of the day:30 minutes elliptical since I didn't get the opportunity yesterday. But I did do all the side work stuff I normally do.
