where did it go?

Saturdays just fly by. Today was no exception. I was putting my little one to bed just a little bit ago and realized that I hadn't done my daily post yet. Whew....I'm glad I remembered, or my reputation would be blemished already on day 3!

Here's today's play-by-play:

8:00 AM - Trip to Kohl's for the Super Saturday Sale to buy a sleeper for you know who.
9:00 AM - Home to bundle up said little one and go outside to rake leaves, while Daddy cut the grass, probably for the last time of the season.
10:00 AM - take one soaking wet little one in the house for a change of clothes (those leaves were wet!!) with one exhausted Mommy (raking leaves is certainly good exercise!)
11:00 AM - Start cleaning the house with little one in tow.
12:00 PM - Lunch, while watching the Buckeyes.
1:00 PM - Naptime, while Daddy and Mommy cleaned (and watched the Buckeyes), but then started talking about putting pictures on the walls (after living in the house for 4 years we chose today as the day to finally do something about this) and decided which pictures needed to go up.
2:30 PM - Naptime over, leave for another trip to Kohl's to buy frames (which I saw on sale this morning when I was there) and to Walgreens to get some pictures made into the right sizes
4:00 PM - Home and start putting up pictures (hammering, measuring, leveling...) with our little one continuously in the way and touching everything she wasn't supposed to. Note to self--don't try to put pictures up (or any other time consuming project) with a little one who needs attention. It was a BAAAAAAAAAAD couple of hours.
5:00 PM - Realized we had all landscape pictures and needed more people pictures, so I made my THIRD trip to Kohl's of the day to buy more frames. I like Kohl's, and all, and love that it's right around the corner from me, but I've definitely had my fill of that place for awhile.
6:00 PM - A random dinner of broccoli and roast beef (wanted beef and noodles, but didn't have any noodles, and wasn't about to make another trip to the store!!!) in the midst of picture hanging and a frustrated toddler (but we'd made it this far, we had to finish).
7:00 PM - Bathtime, after a frustrated session of "Let's put your toys in the toybox!" That game doesn't go over well....we're working on it....slowly.
7:40 PM - Collapse at the computer (but there's more cleaning to do downstairs....so I'm staying up here where I can be in denial and type away instead!).

I feel like I've worked non stop all day, but there's not much to show for it (except for picture overload on the walls!!) Want some stimulation for your eyes? Come on over to our family room. There are pictures everywhere. Too many, if you ask me, but my husband is happy.
