Is It Naptime Yet

Last week was great. The girls were waking up around 7:30- 8:00 and I was getting afternoon naps. So far they’ve woken up at 6:45ish this week. I don’t mind except today they had already watched Toy Story and it was only 10:30. Of course this was even making them wait until I did dishes, just in case I decided to shower. When they wake up early my days are so long.

Eden was fun today though. She’s talking so much. We love to play a wake up game, the only problem is if I’m really trying to rest for a moment and she’s awake she yells “Wake up Mommy!” and pats me somewhere. So today I wasn’t able to rest because she kept doing this. It was fun though because she came and laid by me on the couch and she would pretend to snore and I would tickle her and say “wake up Eden!” and she would laugh and she would try to snore again but before she could even get a fake snore out she’d start smiling and laughing. It was darling. And I love the way she says “Wake up Mommy!” it use to be just “wake up, wake up!” but her phrases are getting longer and more descriptive. She’s getting too big.
After her nap I had her laying in bed with me. I wasn’t ready to get up yet. I had my eyes closed and I just opened them to look at her and the second after I opened my eyes she had a big smile on her face. It was so cute. I love hanging out with her and I can’t believe how big she’s getting. She’s also getting a little more stubborn but she’s still darling.

Lilah of course is getting big. She’s such a mom to Eden. She loves sharing her food with her, or treats, toys not so much, but food Lilah will share. If Eden is already asleep Lilah will set aside some candy just for Eden. She also likes to tell Eden what to do, but we’re trying to break that. It can be helpful, but I don’t want Lilah thinking she has to be a mom to Eden and I want Eden to know that she ultimately should be listening to her parents.

They’re quite a pair. I almost want another one just because They’re both so big.

I was tagged by Andrea 

Rules: Answer the following questions related to homemaking and then tag 3 people. Don’t forget to link to the person who tagged you and let the people you tag know they have been tagged.

Aprons – Y/N? If Y, what does your favorite look like?
I have one from when I was a busser at a restaurant and one from my pampered bride party. If I actually wore them regularly I might someday make or buy a real one.

Baking – Favorite thing to bake
anything tasty. I make good rolls and cookies though.

Clothesline – Y/N?
no. I don’t like the feel of clothes dried on a line.

Donuts – Have you ever made them?
no

Every day – One homemaking thing you do every day,
Dishes, almost everyday, or wiping down the table and counters.

Freezer – Do you have a separate deep freeze?
No. not enough room

Garbage Disposal – Y/N?
Yes.

Handbook – What is your favorite homemaking resource?
Um, Andrea said our mom, so I would agree with her. I’m not very good at reading instructions unless it’s baking.

Ironing – Love it or hate it?
I don’t mind it, but I did it for so long growing up that Jon doesn’t like to have me iron his things.

Junk drawer – Y/N? Where is it?
Yes. I have several. There’s the kitchen junk drawer and my computer desk junk drawer and I use to have dresser junk drawer, but it’s now been reduced to a box.

Kitchen – Color and decorating scheme?
uh still deciding, maybe someday it will get done.

Love – What is your favorite part of homemaking?
I think I have a long way to go to be a bonafide homemaker. Sure I sew, cook, clean, but nothing in a very timely manner.

Mop – Y/N?
I dislike it. Only because I have so much to mop and the water gets yucky and it gets dirty the moment the girls wake up.

Nylons – Wash by hand or in the washing machine?
Wash in a lingerie bad in the machine and air dry.

Oven – Do you use the window or open the oven to check?
I have no window so I open.

Pizza – What do you put on yours?
pineapple and ham

Quiet – What do you do during the day when you get a quiet moment?
Sleep and watch tv, other wise I have things that need to be read for church or for book club, and those take brain power.

Recipe card box – Y/N? What does it look like?
no box, just a folder that needs to be organized

Style of house – What style is your house?
uh, I would say I live in a library full of crumbs. Is that a style? Add kid toys and free furniture and there you have our house. (We have bought our couch though.)

Tablecloths and napkins – Y/N?
HA…no and when I get a table cloth it will probably be a vinyl one and I don’t think those really count, they’re so not cloth.

Under the kitchen sink – Organized or toxic wasteland?
Uh kinda organized.

Vacuum – How many times per week?
uh, weekly doesn’t always happen.

Wash – How many loads of laundry do you do per week?
at least 2 kids, 1 colors, 1 whites and 1 towels/sheets.

X’s – Do you keep a daily list of things to do that you cross off?
ha…no

Yard – Y/N? Who does what?
I think we have a yard, that is why we bought this house. Jon does all the work and I sometimes lay out on it and enjoy the evening weather.

Zzz’s – What is your last homemaking task for the day before going to bed?
um, I usually have the girls clean up their messes. Does that count? Sometimes I sew if I have a project that I need to finish, but dinner is usually the last homemaking thing I do and sometimes dishes.

Um I’m not gonna tag anyone. I think I have Anna on my list of people who have not done this and who blogs semi regularly, but atlas she’s on vacation and away from electronics.
