Spills

Today was the day of spills, I suppose. I made us smoothies this afternoon, and Nathan spilled his on the rocking chair ottoman. I made potato patties/pancakes for supper and flipped the plate of them onto the floor. I made Nathan some lemon stuff, and he knocked that over on the coffee table and onto the floor. Two of those spills would have been easier to clean up had I been following our "no drinks in the living room" rule. But we are still trying to get back to normal after the sickness loophole.
Noelle's naps fell strangely this afternoon, and I didn't want to put her down later this evening because it was getting very close to her bedtime. So I have spent the last hour and a half trying to keep her happy while we waited for bedtime to come. :-) Of course, I also had to make and eat supper, set up Nathan's tent, and give baths during that time. ha She was not happy that entire time. She did like taking a bath with Nathan, though.
Noelle is really enjoying her ability to roll over. I usually change her diaper on the couch, but now I have to stay with one hand on her because she will suddenly roll over...toward the outside of the couch, of course. :-)
She also encourages Nathan in foolishness. Today I was trying to tell him to stop clowning at the table, but Noelle was not helping a bit. She laughed every time he would clown. Not much I can do about her, I guess. She also thinks it's hilarious when Nathan cries, too.
Well, I just needed a bit of down time since I just put her down and Nathan is playing in the living room. I suppose I'll go do my dishes now and maybe get my floor mopped. I think some chocolate chip cookies are in order, don't you?

I think we need to talk if you think mopping your floor and doing dishes somehow counts as "down time"! LOL.

Ha. No, the down time was blogging! Then the down time was over. ;-)
