A Day In The Life

6:56 - "mom. mom. dad. mom. dad!" who needs an alarm clock when you have a two year-old.

7:05 - carpet cleaner came from Chem Dry. all i really wanted was one particular spot on the carpet clean and odor free. but it's not. even $65 and a professional cleanse later. my cats are on death row if they even think about peeing again.....

next, cuddling on the bed - madison "shhhhhhhhing" grace when she fussed - what a great big sister. priceless.



then, after a trip to the car wash (caked on mud from utah), home depot (wood for storage project), and to the skinners (my inlaws, for the saw), dan finished this:



i couldn't picture it when dan first thought of the shelves but they turned out great!
i am so excited!

in the meantime, madison was doing a little of this:



a little regression is normal right? :) and the sucker is from Operation Bribery (get madison potty trained) she even 'went' in the toilet for that one!

then she decided to cut up her snack (LIFE cereal) into a million tiny pieces to divide evenly between her two cups. this kept her occupied for at least 15 minutes!



to keep from going stir-crazy we commuted over to the local IKEA with lindsay and got some of these for madison and this for grace. she loved the high chair as well.



and so did her sister.
if grace is going to do it .... so is madison.



lastly, we finished with dinner from here. love it!

it's been a good day.

What a fun day! I like the shelves. What a good idea to have nice, sturdy shelves for cheap. Well done! Mmmm. Costa Vida. LOVE IT!! So glad we have a few in Utah Valley. Oh, you might want to try oxy clean on the cat pee. I haven't tried it or anything, but it's supposed to remove the stain and odor. On TV, he mixed with water in a bottle (like those cheap squirty red ketchup and yellow mustard bottles) and squirted it on the stain and rubbed it in a little. Couldn't hurt!
