Today, I woke up a little bit earlier than usual. And, because I did that, we had time to play around with our breakfast. Recently, I've been on a color kick. I don't know if that has to do with the lack of color around us during this time of year, or anything else, but I do know that it helps to wake us up in the morning. I've started "coloring" our pancakes and waffles. This morning we had bright yellow pancakes. I put the batter into a squeeze bottle and made letter pancakes. Each of the children got to eat their names for breakfast this morning.I also took the time to make sure each of the girls had made their beds and picked up their rooms before leaving for school. So glad I did. At 9:15 the realty office called and asked to schedule a showing at 4:30. Aaaahhhhh! I was not ready for that at all ... I had a huge list of things to do still. Oh well. Thankfully, the boys and I had just cleaned up the bathroom a little bit, and the dishwasher had been unloaded. Simple, easy, everyday tasks; but, they made a huge difference for me by the time 4:15 rolled around. So, when the children got off the bus, I packed them in the car and we headed to Ikea (I needed to get a new curtain for my bedroom since we've never had one, just hung up some fabric, and the children wanted to play in their play area).
While there, I bought some fabric to make a curtain for our laundry room. So simple and easy and I can't believe I hadn't done it sooner! We don't really need the sunlight in our laundry room, so I didn't make two curtains that could be pushed aside. And, I wanted something bright and bold because the laundry room really seems separate from the main living area which is in navy and red. I love this fabric ... although, I'm sure Jon is looking at this picture and shaking his head. ... Yeah, this is totally me.
