Happy Haunting!!

Love - The Mitchells

Day 5

I'm sure all of you have a favorite pair of flip flops, these are mine (they are Tevas that mold to your feet) I am dreading the snow that is just around the corner. I hate putting them away and pulling out the snow boots. They are getting a little worn out and I hope I can find some just like them next spring. (do I put chalk on my feet??? yugh dry skin!)

Fav Things Day 4

I'm not sure why but it has recently occured to me that my MP3 player can be used for much more then just running. It makes doing my dishes, mopping the floor, or straightening the house much more enjoyable. It is my way of checking out for 20 minutes, no more of Kaitlens chatter, or Savannahs whinning. I'm not saying I wear it all day, but one or two songs can make all the difference in the world from happy mom to grumpy mom.

Favorites Day #3

You may be wondering what this little piece of brown plastic is..? This is my life saver on dishes, kitchen floors, and counters. It is a pampered chef rubber scrapper. They make it to clean their stoneware but I have found it to be my favorite kitchen cleaning tool. If you are like me and tend to put of the dishes to once a day food tends to get stuck and turns into cement this is the best to get the crusted oatmeal off of the breakfast bowls! :)

Favorite Things Day 2

When I was 18 my mom and I went to France for a few weeks. My cousin, who grew up there was good enough show us all the sights. While we were there we ate numerous croissants. Her mom loved to have one with a cup of hot cocoa every night before bed, I guess that is were I picked it up. Ever since I love this little treat. While Wyoming's croissants pale in comparison I still enjoy them with a cup of Stevens hot cocoa.

Picnics and Sisters

My Favorite Things Day 1:

A while back my cousin did a post of her favorite things, I loved checking in on what she posted and I guess I must be bored because I am going to attempt this project. So Day one is picnics on our front lawn with my girls. Also included is sisters, I hope that these two little cuties turn out to be best friends like my sister and I are!

More Pics From Jill

Sneak Peak

I had Jill take the kids pictures last week and she has a few posted on her blog so if you get a minute check them out. http://jtbphoto.blogspot.com/ they turned out pretty cute. Picture day with three kids is always stressfull but going to Jill always makes it so much easier. Thanks Jill!!!

Mopping day

Mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors is one of my least favorite things to do as the mom/housekeeper. I sweet talk Anthony into doing it whenever I can. I've decided that one of the reasons I hate it so much is the kids always want a tent in the living room, so while I am scrubbing the kitchen they are having a camp out, which means you need pillows, toys, blankets, usually food..... sigh one room clean.....another a mess. It is a pain but I think I will miss the days when four kitchen chairs and a sheet can hold their attention for so many hours. Its great to be a kid!!
