Over the last few days we have received about a foot of snow.  Yes, Wednesday it was 80* and now we have snow again. Welcome back to the Midwest! So instead of continuing to putz around with outside chores and ignore the inside of the House we were forced to look around our surroundings & find something suite to do.

We:

• cleaned the basement & set up the pool table
• cleaned the living room
• vacuumed the couch & rug
• scrubbed all the floors in the house (& I do mean ALL teh floors)
• cleaned the kitchen completely
• cleaned the sun-room finally
• did mass amounts of laundry

Now which of these things do you think actually fell under the “we” category. Seriously. I love how much men think they are helping with everything. They are so cute when they try to act busy.  I don’t know if it’s this way with everyone’s husband but if I put up a list of things we need to get accomplished no doubt that in 30 minutes I will find him out putzing in the garage or van making his own chore. This used to annoy me as I thought he was just avoiding helping me, but honestly, now I don’t care. He’s not much use on the cleaning front most days & I don’t trust him to do laundry.  That means that he is usually regulated to the lifting of heavy objects & moving things out of my way. Seems to work for both of us.

We now have a schedual of our summer thus far. HA! & I thought we would have some free time

• May-Ally & baby come! We go on vacation FINALLY!
• June- Shawna comes, Pat & Chuck come & Matt goes to Jason’s wedding
• July-Rebbecca kidnaps us to Sandusky
• August-Preita flies to Minnesota for birth of Shawna’s baby
• September (seems like we are free!)
• October- Matt’s grandparents come & gasp at all the color we have in our house

So yeah, fun filled PACKED summer already We are going to have so much fun with everyone that comes to visit. I’m a little hesitant of Matt’s grandparents thought. I love them to death but well, Matt and I have really painted our walls. Some of them are startling colors in their saturatedness.  The old folks can tend to be a bit catty about things sometimes & I really don’t want to be the butt of their joke (we already we that for owning GASP! a snake). But at least I didn’t paint the guest bedroom bright green like I had thought about & they should be fine. It will be a nice visit, if they can get over the fact that we have three cats.
