Trundle

The trundle bed arrived yesterday and the awesome Land of Nod people set it up for me. Score! One less thing to do. Aiden was so excited seeing all this action going on in his room. (sorry for the bad quality taken with my phone)

Aiden's room is big, but not big enough to put two twin beds in so that's where the trundle comes into play. So when we are using it we will slide his toy chest to his closet without damaging the floors thanks to our handy floor guides we installed before we brought it into the house. It's the perfect width to go into his closet.

Now you see me. Now you don't! The color matches his bed perfect! Now I just need to figure out handles. It's easy to put out now, but I think adding two handles would make it that much easier.

For the bad news. Ugh! So we got a mattress at Macys. 75 inches long. We need it to be 74. UUUUGH! I thought all of that was standard. Guess not. So that mattress is going into Carlos' room while we hunt for the correct size.

Other news. As an avid blog reader I find the best ideas/tips. My friend Erica shared this lovely blog. AMAZING cleaning tips, but literally shes crazy I think. haha She does a load of laundry a day. Like I have the time for that now. lol Well her 31 Days to an Organized Home inspired me. So I'm starting with the most rooms with the most traffic and staying in that room till it's complete and organized. Therefore the kitchen was #1. Living Room is #2. Hall Bath #3. etc etc. Declutter and simplify. We all need it.

Therefore I started with the most dreaded part of my kitchen. The pantry! I get so frustrated every time I open it, because I don't know about everyone else but I refer to it as my black hole. It's such a deep cabinet something always gets pushed to the back and gone till I clean it out at month end. aka something is going to be expired and gross. Money down the drain. Me no likey!

Wish I would have taken a before picture of the top cabinet oh well just look at the lower one. OMG. so disorganized, embarrassed. So I headed up to Walmart and bought several handle baskets and a labeller. Best money spent ever!! Now everything is to the front neat and organized. The only stuff that goes in the far back now is condiments and stuff I know won't spoil.

Everything has a home. I still need to get two small ones for the top shelf in the lower cabinet, but after that I can call this complete!

Next I am tackling the cabinet above the frig/oven and the buffet.

I end with a cute picture of Aiden. This was from Sunday. I let him watch 101 Dalmatians while I was cooking breakfast and by the end of the movie he was a barking fool. haha He loves him some dogs!

Tomorrow is his soccer practice! Can't wait!!!

MIA

Sorry I've been a little M.I.A lately. Just patiently waiting for the weekend to arrive...I hate waiting on packages. I feel like I'm stalking the USPS site. lol expecting it to change every 5 minutes.

This is an exciting weekend and I can't wait to do the post. Aiden starts soccer too! Eek! So excited!

Random thoughts.
-Aiden's spring picture proofs are in. OMG. SO cute!! I wish he was smiling more, but at least he isn't crying! lol Take what I can get. The prints will be in next week so fam expect some mail.

-Aiden's trundle bed is coming tomorrow! YAH! Now to get that extra mattress out of the office. He can have sleepovers with Carlos now.

-My sunroof is getting fixed tomorrow too. The part finally came in.

-I have been SO SO sleepy lately. I go to bed at 9-9:30 wake up around 5:30-6 and still feeling exhausted. Really wish I could enjoy a cup of coffee. Just might have to bite the bullet and give in to one cup.

-Next month we are starting a movie day, which we will do once every other month. Where we pick a kid movie and revolve the day around it and watch the movie too of course. Bella and Carlos will come over and join in on the fun. The movie of choice? Toy Story.

So we are making Mr. Potato Head cupcakes, having an army men scavenger hunt in the yard (Don't worry I'll probably spray paint them to make them not blend so much), lassoing Murphy (haha Poor Murph), and I'm going to try to make that sidewalk paint so we can paint the characters. For food we are of course having pizza, hello Pizza Planet! Then we will watch the movie to relax and chill. Should be fun! Next time I'm thinking Lady and the Tramp, spaghetti anyone?!

In the air...

Something is in the air and I like it! So much great news surrounding me feels odd.

Today is a GREAT day! More details later but I will state how my morning started.

I just drop Aiden off at his daycare and if you know where is daycare is its out on a long windy road with very few homes. AKA it's easy to go over 40mph. haha This morning like every morning I'm going about 60. lol and a sheriff is on the other side of the road whips around and pulls me over. DANG IT!

This is where the humor begins.

Cop: "License and Registration. Did you know you were going 61mph?"
Me: "Oh really....I thought I was going like 50 something." haha (Really had no clue how fast I was going just knew it was over 40)
Cop: "Yes Ma'am. You know I can write you for an additional ticket that requires you to go to court"
Me: "Ahhh why?!"
Cop: "Well this is your new registration, your sticker needs to be on your car."
Me: "Oh haha can I do it now?! :-) I literally just got that on Friday and slipped my mind this weekend."
Cop: "Well it shows you live on Willowbrook. What are you doing here? And Where are you going?"
Me: "I just dropped my son off at his daycare and I'm heading to work'
Cop: "Work? Son? How old are you?" (He clearly has my license in hand but I answer. haha)
Me: "Almost 27."
Cop: "27. I would have never guessed that you don't look a day over 20."
Me: "haha ohh but I am."

hahahaha So two things from that. Apparently 20 year olds don't work or have kids and having my baby face has finally paid off. hahaha

Walked away with a warning. My 1st warning EVER! I was smiling from ear to ear. Today is good!

More details to come later...but can you guess what this is?!
