Cooking & Park

We now have propane & a great dinner is in the oven.

Also madi & I stopped at the park this afternoon. She was so good all afternoon, so I decided she needed a fun outing. We also went & saw our neighbors cats (Madison loves them)!

Heck Yes!

So the electrician is here at the house finally installing the right electrical outlet for our dyer. I can finally wash & dry clothes at our house! I was so tired of going down the street to do laundry!
First world problems... I know , I know.

Also... My hard work has paid off! I've caught no mice & seen no droppings anywhere for 2 days. I've sealed some holes & bleached everything. Hopefully.. I've knocked the problem for now & can get some cats to make sure it doesn't happen again!

Alright now if I can just get direct tv out here to fix my TV issues (once again.. First world problems) the house will be running smoothly!

Oh... I did run out of natural gas last night. So..I was trying to cook & no burners would turn on. Haha. They're supposed to be delivering propane today!

MOPs

Well today was a great day.
Madi & I got out of the house and made a Super Target run..which always feels like home. Then we went to a MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers..for those you you who had no idea there was such a thing).
It was great, I met several nice ladies & Madison was having a blast with the other kids when I picked her up in the nursery.
After MOPs we ran to ALDI to get groceries.. It was literally the busiest I've ever seen an ALDI in my life! But I had a plan to be in & out in 20 minutes.. We were successful!

After getting groceries we went & met Zach for lunch in Omaha. It was an absolutely beautiful day so we walked to a little Mexican food restaurant, surprisingly good for Omaha! Madison decided to try hot salsa & loved it.. Who knew.. That girl has the oddest food palate of any child I know.. Hummus & salsa... Really?
Oh & my mice saga continues, caught two last night.. I've got to get some cats before these things drive me crazy!

Face off!

Humm let me see... Yesterday was a home bound day, it was pretty cold , wet & cloudy. Even though it was cold & wet Madison still demanded we go out & play a bit in the yard.

Today we went into town to a little park, as it was much nicer out.

Agggh! I saw a mouse run across the floor this morning.. After screaming & jumping up on a chair, I realized I was all alone & if that mouse was going to get out of the house I had to get it. So I got multiple traps, chased it in a corner & waited it out!
I won after about an hour! Haha
Then I had to take it outside...oh dread!
Too bad my dogs were scared of the mouse! What good are they...I'm getting cats!

Boring

So today was a very boring day.
We did manage to get our garage cleaned out so we can park both cars in it & we burned our trash from the week...But other than that we mainly laid around and watch football. we did not leave the house all day.

Yesterday was nice we went and had a little play date in a town near ours with a girl I met and her 2yr old names Carson. Kids got along great & so did she and I... I know we'll get together again soon .

Great Parenting

Okay okay... So my first week as a stay at home mom & I locked Madison in the car.
Took 20 minutes to get her out....
While waiting for help... I must have been hilarious to watch as I try to convince my 19 month old to hit the unlock button.

So, my 2nd cousin comes to help me get her out.... I was so embarrassed.. Of course I was still in my pajamas, no make up & had on my house slippers!

Oh well... There's always tomorrow!

Omaha

Yesterday Madison and I went into Omaha to do some grocery shopping and eat lunch with Zach.
We ate at the Union Pacific cafeteria... It's incredible! Zach also gave us a tour of his building ( I've attached some photos).

Then Madi fell asleep on the car ride home, so that lead to no nap!!! Agggh a mom needs her little ones to nap!
But I decided that to keep her happy & active we'd try playing in the leaves.. Madison loved it!
