9,10, 2, 2, 3,1,1,1

9... the number of loads of laundry i had to wash today.... See, Saturday i usually wash our sheets, and do the boys at a different time during the week, but last night, both boys had accidents, so it ended up that i had to wash their sheets AGAIN today.....

10.... The number of loads of laundry i had to fold. I'm lazy, so for that reason, i had a dry load already finished and just waiting for me....

2..... The number of times I've run the dishwasher today

2.... the number of children i have been annoyed, frustrated, irritated and impatient with today

3.... the rooms in this house that STILL have work to be done... the playroom is somehow destroyed AGAIN, the boys room is clean, but could use a little extra attention, and our bedroom... well the bed has been stripped and i have clothes to take care of

1.... the number of floors that need to be vacuumed

1.... the number of floors i need to mop

The weekend thus far has been full of challenges. Yesterday we spent the day at the park. It was great. We tried a new park that is close to the house, and were pleasantly surprised. We frequent Green Lake, but its about a 30 minute drive without traffic, and lets face it, when living in Seattle, NO traffic just doesn't happen. We went for a drive last week and found the Bothell Park and finally were able to venture out to it. We took a walk around the.... stream? There were ducks and geese, and bugs.... The boys had a blast. Eli was chasing the geese around and Ayden was bawking at them. Life sure is never dull with these two hams around. Jamie had the day off work, so it was an extra special treat to be doing all of this with daddy. We also ran some errands yesterday, which enabled us to be able to stay home ALL day today... I don't think that we have had a day that we went absolutely no where in... years! Its been nice. We laid in bed while the boys watched cartoons this morning, then watched planet earth, and dozed while Ayden took his nap. Dinner was easy too.. Just did a left over 3 cheese baked pasta that i made a couple nights ago. Tonight I think we'll just finish up the laundry and the cleaning, play some super nintendo- thats what Jamie is doing now- give the boys their bath in an hour, then get them settled into bed just in time for J and I to enjoy some ice cream and another planet earth disc. Oh the joys of stay at home days!
