Tagged "My House Right Now"

OK so my friend Julie tagged me on this one, and I thought what better way to procrastinate cleaning my house and getting ready for bed than to add a new post on my blog. So here it goes.

The Rules:
Take a picture of the following as they are right now:
the refrigerator, the kitchen sink, the toilet, the bed, yourself, favorite shoes, the kids, the closet, and your favorite room. Then list a place you would like to visit.

NO CLEANING/CHEATING
What you see is the real thing!

All my pictures were taken at 9:30pm.

#1-The Refrigerator:
humm so other than condiments and bread we don't have much here. Dave made us waffles on his waffle iron tonight. It was either that or eat Aleo Vera and chocolate chips.




#2-the Kitchen Sink:
Wow the sink looks pretty good. Too bad I can't take credit for it. Not only did Dave make dinner, but also he loaded the dishwasher. He makes me look good online.




#3-the Toilet:
This is the main bathroom. We used to have a cute matching toilet cover and rug, but we started potty training Ella so I put them away until we're done with that experience. With the way things are going they may not return until Christmas.



#4-My bed:
Dave had just turned it down to get ready for bed. It looked really cute earlier today when it was made. It's like a slate blue color. I love it.



#5-Self Portrait:
OK this is the only picture I wanted to cheat on, but what's the point of redoing your hair and make-up at 9:30 at night.



#6-My favorite shoes:
I love my pointy toe high heel shoes. There is nothing better than a pointy toe and a dark pair of jeans to make you feel good. I remember when I wore pointy toes shoes on Back to School Night when I was teaching in Utah. Some of my old students showed up at the door because someone told them I was wearing pointy toe shoes and they really wanted to see them. It's always nice when a 4th grader thinks you're stylish. :-)
I also really love my "fancy" black flips flops. I've worn them every summer for the past 5 years and they were in great shape until this year. Now the toe is rubbing out and I'm so bummed.






#7-What my kids are doing right now:
Well I only have one and she was supposed to be asleep. As I peeked into her room at 9:30pm expecting to take a picture of my precious angel curled up asleep in her bed I saw this...



#8-My closet:
I LOVE my closet! It's a small walk-in that didn't fit too much until my stepdad and grandpa installed the Rubbermaid closet organizers. It can now fit all of my clothes, Dave's clothes, and our towels. It's wonderful. Really go get some Rubbermaid closet organizers at Lowes.




#9-My favorite room in the house: My Front Room
I love this room. It rarely gets too messy so when I need a moment to think, relax, or take a power nap it's the perfect place. Plus I LOVE our black table Mom bought us. It has a drawer on the bottom for storage. I'd been wanting one of these for a long time.




#10-Someplace I'd like to go on vacation:
Disneyland
I'd upload a picture, but I'm afraid of Disney copyright laws. :-)


So that's me and my house and now it's late and I guess I'll be cleaning tomorrow. Really I can't clean until Ella falls asleep anyways and you saw how she looked at 9:30. I hope you enjoyed. :-)

Now, I tag:
Kristi, Amanda, and Heidi
Have fun!

Your house is cute - even impromptu at 9:30pm! My house is WAY to scary to post online - it would ruin my perfect housewife reputation forever. :) Oh wait a minute, I don't have that reputation! Darn.

LOVE your tag. Thanks for doing it. I am a little sad at the cleanliness of your house. It puts me to shame! I am a terrible housekeeper, apparently. Just kidding. Your house is beautiful. Hope we can come to see it in person soon!
