Just a little follow up post on where we stand as far as the de-cluttering and reorganizing goes. Since Brycie still seems to be battling a cold, which now seems to be in his ears (boo!), we stayed home from church today and worked on mama's projects. That's right - I enlisted the help of daddy much to his dismay. Not only did I finish ALL the laundry (world record), but I also finished sorting out Skylar's old clothes, stripped diapers and stuffed them (remember I'm a cloth diaper gal), AND finally got to that very messy pantry. I feel accomplished. I really would NOT have been able to do all of this if it hadn't been for daddy's help though because just the pantry alone was a nightmare.
See?!! It might be hard to tell but there was stuff everywhere. You literally had to unload an entire shelf just to find one thing and then shove it all back in there. This does not do well with my OCD. So tackling this project meant lots of trash bags, unloading of cabinets, and a few choice words from the mister. But we got it done and now this mama can breathe again!
Can you hear the angels singing?! Maybe that's just me but seriously! What an improvement, right?! Now if I can just keep my 4 year old, my 2 year old, and my man-child away from it, it just might last longer then a few days! Maybe.
So outside of the crazy non-ending projects of mine, we had a really fun day. The kids played in the backyard most of the day since the weather was just perfect and lil Eva-cakes spent a good amount of time with us. If she wasn't being held, she was on the bed while I was folding laundry or in her bouncy chair while we organized the pantry. She's becoming so much more alert these days that it's so exciting to see her sweet little personality. We lub her!
Poor Brycie was having an up and down kinda day. He's been battling this nasty cold for a week now but now I'm certain its in his ears so we'll be making a trip to the doctor tomorrow, I'm sure. He was in so much pain though that Matthew and I actually tried a home remedy we found online. You mash up a couple cloves of garlic with a little EVOO, heat it up, and then drop a few drops down in his hear canal. He smelled like an Italian restaurant but it seemed to really take the pain away. After that, I had a sudden craving for pasta! Gross?! Probably. But he smelled delicious...and the garlic was lingering in the house so I couldn't help it. This mama whipped up some pasta and popped open a bottle of wine and dinner was served! ;)
