When Did I Become This Boring?

But yesterday I did this:

And today, this:

All before 7 am...

I have been getting up with Husband, feeding Bug, putting Cake back to sleep and then coming out to do things like organize cabinets, yesterday I even organized the deep freezer while Cake was playing and Bug was napping still. I think I love to organize, hate to clean, but love to organize, so I have to figure out a way to make cleaning like organizing....
Tomorrow I might try organizing the kitchen counters, and in the process I can clean those, that will kill two birds....
Now if only I can figure out a way to make cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors fun!

Just Because

3, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

I won't bore you with the details, 3 is an interesting age, I am re-reading 1-2-3 Magic as we speak (thank goodness for iBooks, easy to hold while nursing)......The good news is, there are moments that happen that make it all worth it.

Cake came running to the doorway while I was changing her brother, the dialogue was priceless:

Cake: "Mommy, what are you doin?" (said extremely fast as a 3 year old tends to do)
Me: "Changing your brothers diaper" (in an exasperating tone, I mean really, what do you think I am doing?)
Cake: "Oh, well we're doing screws an I helpin Daddy an I got the 'ranch'" (this is said as she runs off....)
Me: (uncontrollable giggles)

Using the "ranch"

"helpin Daddy"

Gotta remember this stuff, thank goodness for blogging.

Paper bag Town

Its so much fun to have a preschooler!

Cake and I got some precious time yesterday (while her brother watched from the bouncer) to do a craft project. This is a paper bag town, mommy cut out the images from the back of a High Five magazine (if you don't know what this is, and have a little one, its Highlights for the younger set) and then gave Cake her first personal bottle of Elmer's Glue and let her go. This isn't the first time we have used glue, but it is the first time for mommy to let her practically do it herself, and it wasn't a disaster!

Its so hard to get time for just us now that Bug is here, so it was nice to be able to do this from start to finish with her. I love crafts, and look forward to doing many more with her, I even bought construction paper and preschool scissors the other day, just waiting for the right time to introduce the scissors. If you have older kids, when did you introduce scissors? These are really safe looking, and are rated for 3+ but I am still a bit leery.
