Crazy Tuesday

Another day, another non-stop day here at the Gatchel's. All I've got to say right now is thank goodness for my crock pot so we're able to eat :-p

After work this morning I hurried to get Noah dressed and his stuff ready to go to the mall to meet up with Miesje and Coen for a bit. Considering the heat index is still over 100 here it is just too hot to take the kiddos to the playground so the indoor playground at the mall will just have to do :) The boys had a blast playing and getting into some harmless mischief. Noah and I are working hard on learning that despite what the other kids do (rotten kids who have parents that pay no attention... grrrrr...) the slide only goes in one direction. By the time we left I think he'd gotten the message, but I'm sure we'll have to have that conversation again the next time we go... I think that Coen even found a little girl that was crushing on him :)

After letting the kiddos get their share of playing in, Miesje and browsed the mall and spent some coupons we had. I love free stuff. More companies should give me free stuff :) Bath and Body works sent me a coupon for free stuff and 20% off my purchase so I went ahead and got my Christmas scented anti-bacterial soaps while I was there. See stores, send me coupons for free stuff and I'll probably come in and buy something else :)

I brought Noah home and put him down for a nap (which he refused to take just like he did this morning. He's in just a lovely mood right now, let me tell you) and then I set off to tackle cleaning the master bedroom. Grant says we should have company more often if the house is going to be super sparkly clean all the time. I gave him "the look" and he then quickly tried to back track and said for the most part the house was almost always clean he just meant all the extra stuff. I continued "the look" until he decided Noah needed to be entertained for awhile and he retreated. Silly boy...

Alright, off to finish cleaning up the kitchen and maybe tackling some other project this evening. More tomorrow :) Until then...
