day off.

Isla and I enjoyed a "not for any particular reason" day off today.  Isla from daycare and I, of course, from work.  I have to say we did a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and then went back to a little bit of this and that again - jumping from one task to another has alot to do with both Isla and I's very short attention spans.  However, I think she is starting to take a liking to Baby Einstein DVDs which helps keep her preoccupied for at least semi-small amounts of time. 

"Uneventful" day's schedule:

• laundry
• christmas card making
• post office and target - where i rewarded myself with these from the dollar section and apparently I thought that wasn't reward enough so I got these "over the knee high" socks because I loved the little flower on them and they were on clearance

• more christmas card making (if I wasn't dedicating all of my creative juices and down time to christmas card making I would love to be doing this)
• more laundry
• put up little christmas tree in Maddox and Isla's room (yes all this Christmas Card making has inspired me) plus I wanted Maddox to be surprised when he gets home from grandma and grandpa's tomorrow.  i pretty much just decorate it with stuff we have around the house and some old wooden ornaments that grandpa got at a garage sale last year.

• cleaned up all Maddox's toys from yesterday and even vaccumed (well just that one room)
• collected recyclables- have I mentioned that I am somewhat of a recycling addict and I am extremely ecstatic that we now have this (one is for regular trash and the other for all recycables):

which means no more of this - yippeee!

• started organizing paper/ craft area (my goal is to get this area all cleaned up so that I can trash it again while getting ready for the holidays :0) )
• thank you card making
• bath time for isla (which she loves)
• a little more laundry and a little more cleaning
• so much left to do, but I am calling it a day

Did I mention that Isla was obsessed with my red toed socks today.  Anytime I was anywhere near her, she found a way to make it to my feet.

So here's to our lovely uneventful day off.  I think both Isla and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it- especially the minutes when her little hands where on my toes :0).  I apologize for my sloppiness, but no post-proofing will be done tonight - my pillow is calling my name.
