• Dec. 20, 2006 - Amazing Race update and various ramblings...

It went very well yesterday. Aaron was slow on his AM chores so could not join the first race so the treat was divided by 2 instead of 3 since the work was divided by 2 instead of 3. Rebecca & Isaac did a GREAT job on the living rm including vacuuming under cushions and moving everything, but the entertainment center. They received 3 homemade thin mints each. The 3 of them also did the dining rm... and got *most* of it... reward - homemade ice cream 2 scoops each. And the kitchen... pretty good. They hit the biggies I wanted... mostly.... reward - outdoor time followed by homemade hot cocoa with goats milk. Really all that was not done in the dining rm is one desk and the bookcase. So not bad. In the kitchen they did get walls & sink & cabinets.... but did not get the counters as good as was needed. That is a biggaboo to me... MOVE everything... SCRUB counters... WIPE down appliances. So more work needed there. The hall got done last under DADDY orders... LOL along with some outdoor things he noted. So my house looks pretty good today. Molly & I did not get to do scarfs because she never finished the play rm. That was ok though because Noah woke with a tummy bug so I had my hands full with him and Micah. Poor little fellow. The funny was my dh's chair is the nicest piece of furniture we have... Noah woke from a nap, cried, got up, and before I could move... he ran over and *got sick* ON daddy's chair. Poor boy... poor daddy. Thankfully I'd had it scotch guarded! I got Noah in a nice warm tub with a few drops of peppermint oil and Becca in there with a magazine to sit with him while I cleaned the chair and started laundry. Bible was certainly quieter last night with Noah dozing on the couch... Micah seemed to think he should make up for it and was vocalizing quite loudly! Isaac decided Micah had started *singing* without us. So far today Noah has not *gotten sick*, but he is still sick... poor baby. He got up this morning early, nursed, and went to the couch to lay down. Micah is up early too. BUT PTL he did not get anyone out of bed last night! Hopefully that game is behind us. As I type both littles are watching Veggie Tales Are You My Neighbor, Molly & Caleb are drawing pictures at the table, Isaac & Becca are milking the goats, and Aaron is with daddy today. The house is on *kitten watch* as our mama cat is *due* today. She is HUGE! We are kitten rich right now as our calico has her first litter of 4 still in the girls rm too. Gladys's (aka Gladness) were born the day after Thanksgiving. I think today will be a play by ear day here.... though hopefully some sewing and some laundry folding will be done.
