a new layout

I love the Early Bird line by Cosmo Cricket so when I saw that Kenner Road had some of it in its June kit I had to pick it up. This layout is about our first BBQ at our new house.

Today, I spent the better part of the day cleaning the house. Actually picking up the house. Putting toys away. Doing laundry. Folding laundry. Getting stuff off the floor. The reason? Well, we decided to try a new housecleaner. She makes her own green cleaners. Baking powder for the toilet. Vinegar for the kitchen. She cleaned the floor, not with a mop, but on her hands and knees. She spent a good 4 hours getting our house a lot less dusty. And little more green.

I also made a HUGE improvement in my scrapbook book room. You can actually see most of my floor. It's still not organized, just a lot less dusty. Also I have Zara's playmat on the floor so she can hang out with me in here. All I need is a nice comfy loveseat or chair and more storage.
Note: We just back from Target and got some more cubicle shelving :) Zara's first trip to Target.

Return of the nap?

Jamie made a deal with Sofi. If she naps in the afternoon, she can stay up later and thus spend more time with Jamie after he finishing working. Brilliant! I get a little break during the day. Sofi gets more quality Daddy time. And is less cranky at night. This also enabled us ALL to go to Target together after getting some gyros at the mall.
