Beautiful day

Today is a beautiful day. The sun is shinning and it is warm. We are all going to get outside and enjoy it after Wes is home from school. I know that tomorrow it is supposed to start raining and then turn cold again, so we have to enjoy all of it we can today.

Wes had a dentist appointment this morning to get his teeth cleaned. He is so good for that and has never even considered making a fuss. He even got his first x-rays today. No problem. As a reward we stopped by the Y and played for a while before coming home to eat lunch. Nice job Wes!

I went to a Silpada Jewelry party last night with a friend. The pieces were so amazing and I could have bought one of everything, but it was so expensive. I ended up buying a pair of earrings for $65. Afterwards I wished that I hadn't spent my hard earned gourd money on that, but at the time I couldn't say no. I've got an idea brewing that I might be able to get a local artist who makes his own gorgeous, affordable jewelery to have a party at my house. I don't believe he has many shows this time of year and I think he would benefit from a party at my house.

Anyway...gotta run and get some stuff done so we can play outside in a bit.

Shall we dance?

Welcome to NCAA tourney time! The greatest part of the tournament this year, Purdue made it in! Thank goodness. I think Chris knew they would make it but I also think he was holding his breath yesterday until he knew for sure! They got a great spot and hopefully they will beat Arizona! Go Boilers.

To top that off, we had great weather here over the weekend. It was sunny and warm. The boys were able to play outside and I was finally able to get the rest of the x-mas lights off the trees. It had been to snowy and icy to risk getting them down. It's nice to have all that done.

We had our time change yesterday and as a result, the boys are still sleeping. They went to bed when they normally would have and are sleeping till when they would have gotten up. Now it is just an hour later. Gradually this week I will change them over but not all at once. They are just now getting up so I need to run!

Have a great Monday!

Florida pictures






Home again, damn!

We made it safely back from Florida on Saturday. Damn! It's cold, snowy and not 80 and sunny here. Usually I adapt to the change better than I am this year. I just want to go back! We all had a great time. Lots of time spent in the pool, at the beach, at the park and eating too much of my grandma's good cooking! Two words, cream puffs! Oh, I love those cream puffs!

The boys were very well behaved as well. They did great on the airplane and were pretty good while there. We had to break them up a couple of times a day, but that is normal. They each had their own tent to sleep in on the screened in patio. Connor's was shaped like a shark with a long tail, dorsal fin and teeth. It was so cute! I wasn't sure he was going to sleep in it the first night because he kept saying it's going to eat me.

I am happy to say that I really, really liked my grandma's new boyfriend. He is a really sweet man and they are very happy together. It makes me happy just to see her happy again and not lonely. Someone once told me that pets and children are good judges of people's character. If that is the case, Bob is in! My boys just loved him. They always wanted to play with him and kept asking, "Where's Bob?" They wouldn't leave him alone.

I'll post some pictures of various places we visited in a later blog. Now I just have to get caught up on things around here. Thankfully I left the house in order, so it was nice to come home to a clean house.
