Freaky Friday!

Today was unbelievable. The stars must have aligned and the fat lady must have sung. I do believe it was my most productive day of 2008 and maybe 2007 as well. I have often wondered why bloggers take pictures of some of the most mundane things, but I may understand a little better after today. It could be years before I accomplish so many things in one day again, so here is a little photo journal session to remind me. Or inspire me. Or shame me. Whatever. Because on those days when NOTHING gets done (oh yes, rainy Monday, I know you are coming), I will need to be reminded that I am a productive member of society. Even if the only eye witnesses are a happy-go-lucky 4 year old and a sleepy little boy. Here goes!

Friday began early at 4:30 a.m. when sleep was a desire, but not a reality. So why not get up and finish cleaning out that closet? Yes, why not? I didn't think to grab the camera for the before shot, but at least I got some proof of the afterwards before it gets all cluttered again!





Notice the scrapbook supplies that are begging, pleading to be used. Hmmm, not today. There is work to be done!

At this point, it was time to do normal morning stuff. Got Mackenzie to school an headed to get my oil changed. Oh yeah, and my tires rotated. 3 things and counting! (closet, oil, and tires - wait - there were filters replaced too! 4 things and counting!) Sorry no picture of the oil change.

Back at home now and while walking to the mailbox, the weeds in the flowerbeds caught my eye. Well, why not? 1 hour later and I had this:






while Avery did this:

and Nathan did this: Hope you didn't miss the cute little toes peeking out from under the blanket. Adorable.

Too bad I didn't think to change shoes. I think they're ruined. We'll see.


Now, back inside. Time to pack up those clothes from the early bird great closet cleanout. Ready to donate!



Hmmm, maybe time to unpack a box from the garage. (yes, we moved in Feb. and still have unpacked boxes. Sigh). China unpacked, washed and stored.

Oh yeah, Avery made me play-doh pancakes.

And while we're dealing with boxes, it is time for the kids consignment sale. Let the pricing begin!

Check out the time!

Seriously, there were days this summer that I was still in my pajamas in the p.m. hours.

Now I needed some nourishment, so time for some no-bake cookies!

A little vaccuuming and a little laundry later and one more clock check.

Now I think I had a sugar crash and that was about it for the day. Now I have a weekend ahead with all playtime and no guilt! Like I said, it was a freaky kind of Friday!

By the way, Avery caught a bug while we were pulling weeds. It became her new little "friend" for the day. I asked what his name was and she informed me that HER name was "Tiffany". (The name of my best friend) What can I say? Sorry Tiff, today you were a gross little red and black bug around here. At least it wasn't a spider.
