swish swish....

Swish swish..thats the sound of my washing machine this morning. Mondays are a HUGE laundry day at the Fusco's because it includes all the beds and towels. It starts first thing in the morning, and doesn't finish till its done.

 We have a front loader LG washer but its not the big fancy one we will have in the new house. I do see a a dream laundry room in the future...yes thats right I said it....I have a vision of a dream laundry room and it includes, hanging racks, and cupboards and it will be 2 steps from my walk in closet!

As for Now, I will sit with my coffee, with my little one snuggled next to me crunching cheerios and the sound of Dora in my ear from the iPad, and wait for the next dingle of my washer to be done. I don't think we will venture out today other then the park and a nice walk. Happy Monday everyone!

Fun..Fetti!!!

The weekend is coming to an end, and so are my days off. I know it feels like i was just working right??.......

This weekend turned out great, although we didn't do much, it felt like we did a lot. O and Gramma spent good quality time together.  They spent a lot of time at the park and getting good use of the new rubber boots splashing in the puddles. They always came home around lunch with rosie cheeks, and O was all tuckered out ready for lunch and nap.  Yesterday Tino and I had to do some house stuff so with  gramma being here we took full advantage and had a few hours to head out and get some things done.

 We made a trip to Micheals to get a few crafts after  we got home. Ottavia had Gramma's craft stuff in her hand before Gramma could even get up the stairs this morning. They were at it for a while, gluing sparkles and arranging things just right . Here is the finished product!!

Pretty cute, they made two of them. When Tino got up she was so excited to show him she could hardly stand it!

We finished off the afternoon making funfetti cupcakes for desert! I've never made this flavour of cakemix before but there is so much talk about it on pinterest I finally did. I think the states have better more colorfull mix's but this was just fine!

We have a super busy week ahead. I need to run at least 8km twice, I'm working starting wednesday, we have a meeting with the priest to get Ottavia baptized, and I'm doing my first passion party on friday!!

Gramma is here!!

Tino's mom arrived yesterday morning. I didn't tell O we were having a visitor until we got up in the morning. Daddy left first thing in the morning, and I said he was going to get gramma from the airplane. She waited by the door, looked out the window and would say gamma, house.

She played shy for about 30 seconds, until Gramma brought out prezzies. Pink jeans, a hello kitty purse and a giant hello kitty blanket! They were besties soon after. They left to the park and I got some long awaited phone calls made, etc for over an hour. It was great. People are so lucky to have family near by, so this weekend we are taking full advantage of Gramma :)

We made a trip to winner's yesterday, we usually come home with a 12 pack of flavoured "wipsti" which is flavoured chapstick but instead we found a diary with a lock and key, a pen and teeny paper book.  We are pretty much over toys now...the girly phase has begun!

This morning we made a fort, O is still playing in it. I remember When saturday mornings consisted of, Coffee, Gym, Tan, maybe some shopping etc....Now it consists of LOTS of coffee, fort making, Dora watching, sticker sticking, colouring, puzzles, snuggling and playing hide and seek! I wouldn't change it for the WORLD.

Setting up the fort to make it just right

Peek!

bossing gramma around!
