Today I had the urge to take the boy yardsaling again. It was easy to talk them into the idea too. They watched a movie while I drove all over Gaston Co. unfortunately finding nothing! Oh well, we topped it off with a donut and that made it all better.
When we got home the boys immediately walked in the door, sat down and took off their shoes and Jonathan put them away. Then they both washed their hands and started playing. AMEN!! It is working :) We have be practicing a routine. When we come in the house, we sit and take off our shoes, put them away and wash our hands. If it is basically nap time we then start the nap time routine which adds, pee, pullup and in the bed. I am so happy that I don't have to remind them now. It is almost coming natural every time we come home. Now, I just need to find a way for them to not fight while trying to be the first to wash their hands. One thing at a time.
We ended up meeting Matt at the Belmont Soda Shoppe after he got off of work. Great hot dogs and milkshakes while the kids played.
After the kids went down for their naps, I made two trips to Lowe's to pick paint colors and finally came home with paint for the dining room. Thankfully, Matt got called into work for 20 minutes and I didn't have to cook dinner. We picked up Jimmy Johns (Mmmm...) and caught up on DVR Mentalist when we got home. Great end to the day!
I love how easy it is to keep my kitchen cleaned, if I keep up with it during the day. Then before bed I just straighten up. It takes 2 minutes. Not bad. Now, if only the "kitchen fairy" (as my Dad always called it) could come and sweep my floor while I was sleeping. that would be perfect!
