A Little of Everything….

Kenzie received a hand-me-down Cargo bunkbed with a trundle and dresser from my parents and brother, recently. So, we’ve been busy rearranging the bedroom, purging toys and knick knacks, and setting it up just right with comfy bedding, a reading light and castle decorations. It’s so sturdy and beautiful! He doesn’t sleep in it yet, but it’s nice to have around knowing he will one day. He has been reading and playing in it, though, every day. Once I get the digital camera working again, I’ll post pictures.
Thanksgiving was wonderful - filled with family and lots of great food. Kenzie made several books with colored pencil illustrations for his great-grandmother and spent quite a lot of time in his great-aunt and -uncle’s game room playing ping pong, checkers and basketball.
Right now, we’re back home, and he’s running around the backyard screaming and playing with the dogs, Oscar and Alaska. Good thing most everyone around here works outside the home during the day….
I spent much of yesterday deep-cleaning the kitchen. I still have to clean the fridge, the inside of the microwave and the stove burners, as well as scrub the floor, but it’s getting there. Slowly. Usually, the last thing I want to do is clean, but yesterday, I had this wild urge and figured I’d better heed it before it disappeared. So, among other things, I spent over an hour scrubbing the cracks and crevices of the bread machine armed with cleaner, paper towels, dishrag and Q-tips. What would possess me to do this, you ask? I’m not sure…. But the bread machine looks absolutely amazing.
