Abby's Keep your house clean! cleaning schedule

If you've been reading for long then you know how much I hate cleaning and how bad I am at it! I tried the flylady thing and it didn't really work, but I thought maybe I could simplify it and make up my own cleaning schedule. All this is in hopes that I wont have to have these major overhaul cleaning days. I'm going to try it next month and see if it helps. Let me know if you think I missed anything or have any ideas to improve my system.

Who's out there???

I have been wondering who all looks at my blog and also wanting some new blogs to look at, so if you visit my blog give me a shoutout and if you have your own blog(s), give me the address so I can cut and paste it into my own blog list and keep up with you!

Thanks to those who have commented already. This is so fun and I am trying to add everyone to my blog as you comment. I am terrible about finding new blogs to read, so y'all are making this super easy!

Daddy's Day Off, Zoo, Zoe's and ZZZZs

We had a wonderful day at the zoo this week. Trey is working a ton lately, so it was so great just to hang out as a family and take the girls to do something fun. We ended up buying the year pass to the zoo, so if anybody wants to return with us, let me know. I of course had to bring my camera. I only took 544 pics! Here are a few of my favorites. There were tons because all the animals were out and so cooperative. We even heard the lion and tiger roaring! It was the best trip I've ever had to the zoo.


After the zoo, it was off to Zoe's for some yummy chicken salad sandwich and grilled chicken pita! Then we all headed home for a nap! To top it off, church that night was phenomenal. The worship was so powerful as was the message on Tabernacle Prayer. All in all, it was a Fab Day! Hope all of you have a Fab Day this week too!

Starting the day off at the Sea Lion Splash Show

and from here on out, the pictures are in no particular order!

This is the only picture of me, you are WELCOME!

Big EYES

He's eatin crackers just like Selah.

Five Little Monkey's sittin on a branch, one fell off and...

Butterfly House, fast little buggers, hard to shoot

This Tiger has the most beautiful blue eyes. This was the only shot I could get, the others he had them tighly shut.

Bad Hair Day

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Rhino

We saw them and I said, "Wow, that is amazing they just stay here in their little spot." (there's no cage or net) Then Trey told me they probably clipped their wings so they can't fly, oh, sad=(

Selah keepin busy in the stroller with her Ritz

We joke that these are Sophie's "hot pants" but they are just so darn cute. I mean when else can you pull it off and still look cute!

I love the colors on this lizard. He could inspire a room or something.

Ok, this is one scary gator!

Selah getting pretty sleepy towards the end! And she's out....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Photography

Here's my latest attempt with my new canon. I took the girls to Homewood Park the other day ALL BY MYSELF and was crazy enough to bring my camera. Watching two kids and taking pictures is a feat in and of itself. I am hoping to go back tomorrow with Trey (he actually has a whole day off!) You definitely need that #2 man to get the kids attention so you can snap the shots. Anyway, I still don't know what I am doing, but apparently my camera does, cause I think some of them are pretty cute. I took about 300, theses are a few of my faves. Still don't know how to edit.... need to work on that one soon!!! Enjoy and if you have any pointers, feel free=)
