Is Spring Here Yet?!

So we had that warm spell and that was nice and all, but I hate teases like that!  I got to go for a walk out on the trail and it was so great!  I love the spring - windows open, fresh air, beautiful days!  UGH why can't February just end already!!  It just drags and drags!!  Emma was telling me this morning in the car on the way to school that she had a campfire last night with marshmallows...poor kid is remembering something from months and months ago!!  I told her we would do it again soon and she asked if that meant tonight, I said no it will probably be too cold, and she said oh man I want it to be warm!!  Me too, Em, me too!  She also got a new sun dress at Gymboree, which she just wants to wear in the worst way, too bad she will be waiting quite a few months to put that on!

I think that for me February and March are the worst months....just dreary and LONG!  Especially March, although hopefully it will warm up early.  I do have to say that I am noticing the days getting longer, which starts to help me get out of my winter funk.  I just can't wait for park days, taking the kids out back mid day to rid them of energy, zoo trips, etc!  I just can't wait for Spring!!!

Kitchen Mini Remodel - Floor!

So Jon finally got finished putting the new floor in last week. But I am just getting around to putting pictures up now...sorry bout that! :-) Anyway it turned out great and I am so happy to not have to walk around cracked tiles anymore!! Or get them away from Owen, he thought they were the best toy ever!!

Wordless Wednesday

She cracks me up....again!

So we have a trip planned to WDW in a couple of months. Emma has about 1 inch to go before she is big enough to ride on the 40 incher rides - Splash Mountain being the main one she wants to go on. Well just now she comes up to me and says, please mommy can I ride splash mountain. I said well Emma you know you have to grow one more inch, so we shall see. She says, no mommy I am big....I have boobies!!!! WHAT?!!!! She has put something in her shirt and is telling me it is her boobies and she is big now. She then goes to get on the rocking horse that Owen got for Christmas and is talking to herself and says...Oh silly Emma you can't go on that, you are too big, you have boobies now! Where does she get this stuff???!!!

She now tells me she is little again and that her (stuffed) puppy dog, was just pretending to be her boobies...so you tell me active imagination, or should I be worried?!

Crazy crazy kid!!!!!

The Next American Idol....

So we watch American Idol as I am sure many out there do. But I guess it is kind of our guilty pleasure. I really got into last year because I thought David Cook was just awesome! I mean that guy was/is so creative!! Jon even got into it and is into this year too. It is fun to watch, especially during auditions. Well this year we watch and Emma is still up because we put her down after we are 100% sure that Owen is asleep since they share a room. So she has been watching what she calls the singing show. She is very into it, but she wants to do what they do. I tell her she has to wait for Mommy to pause it. So now she is constantly asking for me to pause it. When I do, this is what happens:

As you can see she stops everything, finds her mark - based on the foam floor mat - and tells us what song she is going to sing! The funniest part is she adds to it...as you can see! She jazzes Twinkle Twinkle and the ABCs. The dances and points!! It is so cute!! But I have to say, I think I have the next American Idol on my hands...do you hear that voice? Do you see those moves? LOL!! Her name is Emma Jordan and she is the Next American Idol! Well in what 13ish years!!

Happy Reading and viewing!!

Wordless Wednesday

I was feeling nostalgic this week....here are some old pictures...some really old, of my babies!!

Nothing New....

So I haven't posted in a couple days. Mainly because my life is fairly boring the last few days and there is nothing to post about. I guess that is a good thing?! I mean a month ago I sleep trained Owen, so back then I could have gone on and on about sleep training a toddler, but now the little guy sleeps great, so not much to say on that subject. I guess I could go on and on and on about all the things Emma says, because quite frankly the child can TALK...A LOT! (Wonder where she gets that from...lol!) But that would become a bit of a snooze fest. So what does one write about when they have nothing new to say. Well I guess about that...nothing!

There isn't much going on...well Jon is putting a new floor in the kitchen, that is new, but I think I already told about that. It is taking A LOT longer than I thought it would, but that is what happens when previous owners half ass everything they do! The people that lived here before us were sooooo lazy!! Every home improvement they made was done...well...poorly! Our floor had a dip in it that slowly slanted from 1/4 of an inch to 1 1/4 inches!!! I mean who does that? Who puts an addition on and says, oh this floor isn't level...at all, and then says, oh well! Moron!! And that isn't the only thing. EVERYTHING they did was done badly, right down to the paint job! They only half painted the one wall in our home because to finish it they would have needed to use a ladder...ummmm lazy much?!

So there I ranted about the house. Oh and how about my family's reaction to me writing a blog...I quote "YOU have a blog?! WHY? What do you write about?" Thanks guys! My life really is kind of interesting and even if NO ONE reads this, I enjoy venting and talking to my imaginary friends here...so there! LOL

Happy reading and good night! :-)
