What have YOU been up to lately??

My What???

On this sunny, glorious thursday morning, I am reminded on all I have to do to prepare for our family filled birthday weekend. Hubby's family arrives tomorrow and will be staying with us and a big birthday dinner will be planned for him. Cake will be made, laughs will be had but first... unfortunately certain things must be done...

Like my huge pile of laundry... 4 loads to be exact. It looks small, but don't be fooled. Behind those baskets lies even more towels and clean undies. Did I mention my dryer and washer are also filled???

What about my sippy cup stained rug?? This steam cleaner waits patiently in my foyer to be put to good use. That way when guests start to arrive, I can play the part of happy hostess who always has a clean house. Hee hee...

And those GAP bags. Don't be jealous. I did not go on another shopping spree (yet). A dear friend handed me clothes for Noah which I have yet to put away!! Don't get me wrong. Im eternally grateful. This gal loves hand me down and I happily went thru the bag in my foyer... but somehow, someway they never made it up the stairs and into the first bedroom on the left!

So as you can see, on this glorious sunny thursday I have loads to do. But first a quick trip to the store. After all, I have some shopping to do.... =)
