If you came to my house today…

November 13, 2009

My friend Kellie is hosting a carnival today, and I thought it would be fun to play along!

Since I’m NOT at my house today, I have to be a little bit creative, but bare with me, will you?

If you came to my house today, it would be…

quiet….

and calm…

and…


BORING!!

Before we left, we had lots of fun making couch forts:

Before we left, we made a batch of pumpkin cookies (yum!):

Before we left, we tidied up a bit, so you would have seen this:

and possibly heard a little bit of bickering about the “right” way to vacuum or use the swiffer…

Now, though, I bet you would hear…


the icemaker…


and possibly the hum of the frog tank that holds our {still unnamed} African Dwarf Frogs…


and maybe a bark or two or three…

I bet you would see a forgotten shoe

a hiding dog…

and quite possibly a wonderful neighbor that comes over to play with and feed the animals…


We’ll be home soon, so won’t you stop by then?


I promise to invite you in.

This was so clever! I enjoyed all that quiet while visiting your house today. I’ll take what I can get!

LOVE pumpkin cookies…that alone was worth the visit! ;)

Thanks for playing!

Happy Friday!

Wow…you’re supporting my teaching methods for my 13 year old boy, “I’m just trying to make you into a wonderful husband, DAvid.” Great fun in your house today. Wish I could have one of those cookies.
