Sunday Snippets

Our Week in Review

• Alivia was sorting laundry when she looked up at me and said with a disgusted tone, "I'm putting you and dad's stuff in the same pile since you live together".  Made me laugh.
• I finished our backyard, well almost, I love the way it turned out!  I have four garden beds left to fill with dirt but I think I'll wait until this fall when our funds aren't quite so depleted.  I got crookneck, zucchini, and spaghetti squash in.  Along with a bell pepper, a jalapeno plant, two eggplants and six roma's.  I also got blueberries, pomegranates, and raspberries in as well.  I'm probably the most excited about my blood orange and tangerine tree though.  
• There was a very small but ripe red raspberry on my plant.  It took Isaac about 30 seconds to pluck it off, shove it in his mouth and then come over and confess to me his crimes.  If he weren't so ridiculously cute as he was slurping and moaning over how good he thought it was I might have spanked his little tush.
• Our microwave freaked out and stopped heating.  It functions as if everything is working fine, but the foods comes out as cold as it went in.  I'm super sad/irritated that our "new" appliances are croaking.  Good thing I held on to our cheap-o microwave that cost us like 20 dollars, so at least I have something to warm things up in.  
• Isaac seems to be up-ing his mess making skills lately, the other day I was doing Alivia's hair in the front room because we were heading out the door to join our playgroup at the park, when Isaac came to me covered in brown gooey stuff, the look on his face was like "mom I'm pretty sure you're going to freak out", and he was RIGHT.  Apparently he found my long lost bottle of self tanning bronzer (that is like 10 years old) and he painted my entire bathroom with it.  It was everywhere!  He stepped in it too and tracked it all over the carpet in our bedroom. It was no fun to clean up either, it was like trying to clean up greasy dye.  Thankfully it came out of the carpet's in our room but my new bathroom rug is pretty stained up.
