Quiet Life Homestead

Thursday Happenings & Word of the Day

The kids and I have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off, trying to get errands done so we can clean the house.  We've got company coming and I want the place to look at least a little "put together." 

We watched The Village last night and Bethany sketched 16 things we liked.  The poor boys, we kept pausing the DVD so she could sketch.  At least all the characters wear the same costumes throughout most of the film.  Today we went to Hobby Lobby and purchased some patterns.  It was A LOT more than I thought it would be as the patterns we got weren't on sale, the ones I decided we didn't need were.  I just hope they work okay for us.  But no working on that until the house is squared away!

Yesterday I worked in the master bathroom.  I would have gotten more done except I kept finding ideas for cute little things to do in there to improve it.  I've got the kids cleaning up their bedrooms and then bathrooms (we have a 4bd, 2ba double-wide).  I'll work on my bedroom and then we'll all tackle the kitchen and living room/computer area.  Actually, I'll probably do the kitchen w/ Bethy and have the boys do the other areas.

Today's word of the day comes out of our Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary:

Interlocution - Dialogue; conference; interchange of speech.

How exciting
