The Daddy would agree with that statement for the simple reason that I actually clean my house before people come over. Vacuum, dust, sweep up the “floor food” that falls under Tater Tot’s chair. The works. Heck, I even cleaned out our coffee maker this morning just in case someone wanted a cup! My house hasn’t looked this good in months. How sad is that? And on the flip side: how normal is that? No, that’s not a rhetorical question, I really want to know! If you’ve got the answer, holler at me…

We did a cute Fall Placemat that was really pretty easy. You just cut a length of contact paper long enough that a piece of construction paper can fit between the two sides when you fold the contact paper over, put cut outs of leaves, Fall sayings (Autumn, Leaves, Harvest or whatever strikes your fancy) all over the construction paper, peel back one side of the contact paper, stick the construction paper on it, peel off the rest of the contact paper and fold it over. The biggest challenge is not getting bubbles when you fold the second side of the contact paper over.

I actually really enjoy hosting play dates. It does engage my perfectionistic tendencies, however, which isn’t the greatest (hence the cleaning of the coffee maker). But as long as I keep them under control, we’re good. Wish me luck with that…
