The good stuff!

Hmmmm...well Saturday I was able to talk JR in to going to register for baby items...I will try to put up a link on here to my registries....We got to Target and Babies R Us, but the bedding and room decor we want is only available online at JC Penneys so we registered for that online. We are re-using a lot of what we already have, but there are still things we need and want! Any way...we were brave enough to do it all in one day! Hahaha...it did take a long time and we were pretty tired by the end of it, but it was no where near what we went through when we registered for Logan!
On Sunday, I slept in again, then I went to the store, came home and CLEANED my butt off! I still have a few more things to do around the house (laundry, vacuum my bedroom, etc.) but it is all minor stuff. I made a homemade milky way cake---no cake batter, I did it all from sratch! It turned out OKAY! I think I am more impressed with the fact that I did it than how it turned out. I made the cake for my friend Nikki -HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! She, her husband, Travis, and new little baby, Aiden cam over for dinner. It was pretty good, I probably should have made more broccoli but oh well, I am not used to cooking for four, so I had an enormous amount of rice and chicken and cheese potatoes and not enough broccoli! Ha! But everyone enjoyed it and then we each had a piece of cake. I was glad for having them over...it gave me the perfect excuse for cleaning my house, which I have been wanting to do for days, but am just too lazy to actually do it. I am still waiting for the cleaner clapper to be invented...you know- where you clap your hands and things magically get cleaned! Hahaha! I gave JR a bunch of little but important tasks to do, which was such a big help. He did most of them, although I did catch him laying down quite a few times at which I POLITELY explained that I was doing all the big stuff and cooking a meal and I would hugely appreciate it if he would help with some of the smaller things and not make me have to ask more than twice!!!! (Asking only once is just not going to happen!) Now...after all the cleaning I did yesterday I will say that JR did the dishes without me asking, and he put away the left overs!!!!He didn't clean the stove...but hey, I will take what I can get! It is a HUGE help that he did the dishes and I appreciate it soooooooo much.....My feet were thanking him!
My dogs apparently dont like it when we clean....I woke up this morning to find two piles of poo and urine in different places of the kitchen floor......This is why they spend the majority of their time OUTSIDE. They are impossible. In fact, Dexter likes to mark his territory so much, that I actually have to use the swiffer on a daily basis around the trash can, because he urinates on it as soon as he comes through the door....I finally bought some puppy pads and I strategically placed one on the side of the trash can that he marks, so we will see if that works....The thing that grosses me out though, is I wonder where else he marks??? You know?
Anyway, that was my weekend in a nutshell!
