dont waiste the chex mix

An empty baggie that once had chex mix in it, chex mix currently is getting sucked up by the little guy.  A fork (spork) - why arent they called a foon? Two purple flip flops, four little feet and a naked babe.  Some random pair of sunglasses that were found on the side of the road...yuck, probably should throw those away. 

ZZzzZZzzZZ...

Clean floor - check, vacuum - check.  Then this is when it all falls apart so quickly!  The 4 year old decided she was going to change to go swimming in the living room, so her clothes are there.  After a log jog and walk with the family - the little man is quietly sleeping on his wooly.  He looks so big there sleeping away in his Cardinal gear (daddy dressed him today)! I think I am going to do a little test with my little lady - see how long it takes for her to pick the clothes up.  Who am I kidding - Ill drop them down the shoot as soon as I am done here!

welll....

Well other than my tired self...nothing should be on the floor.  It was clean during the weekend - hahah we weren't home.  Now is a different story.  a pillow - no make that two, a rubbermade full of clean clothes, a flipped over stool (new 1 year old game).  All of that covers the entire floor!

In the dark...

Everything on the floor ends up being a toy for a teether...travel size toothpaste, one little mans white sock, bracelet....Owwww! plastic bracelets are like stepping on a headband.  A hammer, a leftover container wedged under the recliner (leftovers from the band that was played earlier on it.) I cannot see them, but I am sure there are plenty of fins, heads and fish parts from the cracker fish that were dumped then soaked up the water on the floor from an ice cube. I am laughing at myself....If someone random reads this and doesn't know my humor - they are going to think I am a slob with water and food all over my floor.  Might be true, but I was busy today, reading books, water coloring and building towers all day.  While doing all that today I managed to make dinner, change diapers, dry the tears of an exhausted little lady, nurse a babe and washed diapers.  But that is what moms do! EVERYTHING!

Nope, no Easter Grass on this floor - NEVER

5 years ago the hubs and I said that we were a no Easter Grass family...so I have stuck to it...but...... There is still that nasty Easter Grass on the floor.  The vacuum doesn't pick it up, the husband doesn't pick it up, only the little guy picks it up. It is the only thing that he doesn't put in his mouth  - that has to mean something.  It is kind of like the tinsel of Easter. :) 
I vacuumed three times today, maybe four - at any rate, just a few pieces of the forbidden material and a random strawberry stain.
Happy Easter to all.  God bless the the houses with Easter Grass - and enjoy picking it up all year long. (ha ha..hear the sarcasm there?)   Then that puts another spin on the symbolism of Easter Grass...is it there to remind of  Easter all year long??? Hmm something to ponder!

Huge Pink Crayon

Havent had anything on my living room floor in a while.... hahah!! Just kidding - started new hobbies and life in general got crazy - and.....too much to list what was on the living room floor!
Two adult black dress socks (at least it is a pair). Clothes from the changing station - you know the game empty, played by a 13 month old! A water bottle, dripping slowly, a cow flashlight.  The most important thing on the floor (A naked baby that needs his momma to put his jammies on - is what I was going to say) but now there is a puddle! Happy Thursday everyone - Now ya have little glimpse into my life that I love!
Cheers!

land mines

Well the little guy has begun to eat the Puffs...But then again I am not sure he eats them or drops them!! At any rate, we call them land mines here....walking around in sock feet then all of a sudden...CRUNCH under the feet.  In addition to the land mines...this week - we had some puke, melted snow and some artificial tree parts.  Currently we have a pink bowl,  slipper with a hole in it, a lot of foam blocks and 1/8 measuring cup...is their really a recipe that calls for 1/8 of a cup of something?  Enlighten me if you know of a recipe.  Well the stomp on the ceiling, coming from upstairs is my calling to dress the babes for night after their well needed bath. 
Stay warm you midwesterners...it is cold out there! But if it is going to be cold...bring on the snow.  Speaking of cold: I was reprimanded twice today when I was in the Deli getting bagels.  One by a older lady that said I should stay inside all day today with my babes and the other was her husband wanting to carry the bagels for me to the car.  Hello they were at least 80 I mean at least 80 years old...shouldnt they be inside??  Nice of them to think of be dragging a girl with bed head into the Deli....just so she could have a bagel.  Crazy what a mom does:) But all very worth it!

Me

I feel that I should be laying on the living room floor....This head ache will not go away....nothing fancy tonight folks - dirty diaper, foam blocks, rubber duck, a deflated pokey ball, little peeps jeans, a striped - gold and black bandana and the best of all...the hubby's feet! Even though he dropped his drill on his foot on Sunday mornings.....and yes it went all the way through!

I only speak English and Spanish

While laying with my little one last night...I was getting frustrated during bedtime...and so was she!  I told her no more talking, then she gave me a snotty comment back.  I told her, "don't talk snotty! "Mom, but mom I don't talk snotty I only talk in English and Spanish."  Was her reply.  An hour later she then fell asleep - she lightened the frustration for both of us!
Sorry nothing exciting today..a full glass of water (who does that?), a princess necklace, a brush, the nose frida (spotted some boogers this morning), the number 3.
Off to make 12 pie crusts for Thanksgiving.  We have a lot to give thanks for and a lot of people to say Thanks to!

All part of the plan...more or less

As I lay here in our family bed...Special Agent Oso on the tv for one...and one still enjoying sleeping.  I wonder what is on my living floor.  I wish I could just live in the moment instead of thinking what I have to clean, buy, do and the list goes on.  The smell of my babes breath and the giggles from the other could put  me back to sleep.  But instead I lay here thinking of the "to do list" for the day.  As a mom I don't think it is possible to just do what you are doing without brain overload...not too sure it is a good or bad thing.
So on that note...today its all part of the plan ...more or less! If the groceries don't get bought or the bathrooms don't get clean - I am going to live in the moment...and perhaps play on the living room floor!

A nose sucker?

As gross as is sounds...those nose suckers really dont work and at this house - they are teething toys! 
After an explosion ( infant pulling) of the sibling's work table....there is stuff all over the floor.  When a little one learns how to cut in preschool...I have enough cut yarn on the floor to make a latch hook.  Speaking of latch hook...I think we should bring those back.  I remember doing those all the time as a child..then proudly displaying it (a rainbow with clouds) - ohh the little things in life!

Nothing Interesting

Well after talking to a friend she said "is that all you are going to post about?" - I thought yes...it is just a little glimps of what my world is....but then I also thought - who cares to see part of my world....so -Who knows how often I will write about my living room floor.  Just no one call the health department on me :) I swear my house is clean...but my job is being a mom, not a cleaning lady (although this is my job too...along with other things!)
On the floor right now: a plastic green shovel and a pair of swimming goggles! Beat that!

A honey packet

I seriously thought I would wake up on this cold Monday morning and the hubby would have picked up the floor a bit! Well that isn't the case: A honey packet, wooly, a remote (batteries staying in with tape...and we dont have the tv that goes with it anymore), a little one with some serious snargle hair (which means that was good sleep) dressed in "poka-dot" pants, that are too small and a striped shirt that is too small, a walker (with the wheel fixed) ohhhh and a little one that is begging me to read her a book as I type - So that is it for this foggy Monday morning.  P.S. I will probably fall alseep on that floor at some point today - long night with babes awake!

Trolls at night

I have come to conclude that little trolls come out at night and rearrange the floor!  We have only been awake for a few hours - and now on the floor....drum roll... A brush, burp rag, two pink slippers, a plate, an army truck and what looks like a snake path (a wheel path) from a little ones walker (its got a bum wheel).  We shall see what tomorrow brings and the surprises the floor has in store for tomorrow.

On the livingroom floor #1

Well...here we go! My sister and I talk every day and most of the time the question that pops up is.."What is on your living room floor?" Well...right now: A dog leash (we dont have a dog), hand sanitizer, five unmatched socks and a coin purse..... What is on yours?
