Laundry Anyone????
Yesterday was Tuesday, October 26, 2010.... I had Espen. Doug went to work. Nate our newest house member was gone early for school & hockey. I wanted to clean the house a little, the truck & play as well as make dinner so that when I picked up Anders everyone could have some food. It was a rainy morning and cold and very windy.
So Espen & I got a shower.... yes that means mommy took a shower & because Espen is transitioning to one nap a day, he took one with me. So we were clean and both had on cute clothes & were ready to go. Espen had on the CUTEST vest that I had just removed the tags from! I put Espen outside, grabbed my keys & was locking the door. When I turned around Espen was SITTING IN THE MUD, a handful of mud in his mouth, LaUgHiNg.... OMG... I was so upset. He then ran off, laughing!! So I chased him down which made me get all muddy... I was NOT HAPPY. We had to ultimately come in the house, take off all the clothes we both had on, including the shoes and put them in the laundry. I put us in clean clothes (NOT such cute ones). And again we were off!
We were on the way to Target but we stopped at the children's learning center in Bellevue to play with the children. Espen enjoyed singing & playing! Then we were off to Target. A fast trip so we could get home for lunch.
After lunch Espen took a nap & I took the opportunity to get some clay out! Espen slept for a delightful 2 hours! wAHOO!! And when he woke up the wind had died down considerably so we went to the back yard. Mind you I had to get Espen ready, myself ready & grab a bag & pooper scooper... I was not fast enough & by the time I was headed to the first pile, my beautiful little boy had STOMPED in it. OH YEA... STOMPED. And it must have felt fun because he did it again. I yelled for him to stop. He giggled & ran off ... I headed to the stomped on pile and Espen headed to another pile. Up until yesterday, he would just point them out when I picked them up. He was not touching anything. But yesterday.... MAN... he grabbed a handful and ran off giggling.... As anyone who knows ... Espen puts everything in his mouth... so yes indeed... Espen nearly put the dog poop in his mouth... I caught him in time and washed him off in the dog tank. But poop had gotten all over his pants, shoes & hoodie. And in the process it was on my pants, shoes & hoodie... Oh I started crying.... and finished picking up the poop... and Played with my smelly son...
We played outside for over an hour... he had so much fun on his slide. I enjoyed seeing him laugh & have so much fun... And when we were done playing I was glad there was no one home because we had to put all our clothes & shoes into the washer and get right into the shower... SMELLY!!!
So I did all the piled up laundry PLUS the clothes Espen & I were wearing TWICE... and then I had to get dressed, make dinner, feed the baby, put him to bed and pick up Anders.... WHEW... crazy day...
And today I made a new recipe.... pork chops with apples & saurkraut... and YES my friends I got ALL the men in this house to EAT IT!! And I heard NO complaints... and I made a delish cake! So while the pork was from weight watchers, the cake was not... good balance...
