Moments like this

Today is a cold and rainy day. I am loving it already. But what makes the day really awesome is the person I am spending it with.

The boy was in our bedroom watching Bob the Builder. I came and laid down next to him to cuddle up. All of a sudden I yelled " There's a dinosaur coming!" and threw the comforter over both of us telling the boy that we had to hide and be quiet so he didn't get us. We laughed and then pulled the covers back down after he said the dinosaur was gone.

Not even 10 seconds later the boy gasped and yelled " Thewe's anotha one comin!" So we pulled the covers back over us until he said it was safe. But then a bunch of them kept coming. We had to hide in our cave for quiet a while before it was safe. Then I went and grabbed my camera and then started it all over again.

Right now we seem to be safe but there is talk of a heard of dinos coming our way again. I guess I better go take shelter. :)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow night at 10:30 I will be sitting in a movie theatre watching New Moon. I want to jump up and down like a kid in a candy store. Until then I will just have to watch the trailer over and over again. :)

Oh how I love him!

For the past two years or so I have had a nightly ritual. I take my shower, get into my pjs and then crawl into bed. I then proceed to turn on the t.v and watch several episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond on DVD. It is my all time favorite comedy and I never get tired of watching them. I do this every single night. Two months ago during a thunderstorm our lights went out for about 30 seconds. After that the t.v would not turn on at all. So we have been without a t.v for roughly two months. It has been a nightmare for me. We watch our movies on the computer still but hubby goes to bed way later than I do. While he is up he plays World of Warcraft on the computer so I can't watch anything. Like I said....nightmare for me.

We have priced t.v's lately and we still weren't sure which way we were gonna go or when. Hubby called me today and told me to go to the shop next to his work and pick up two things. Those two items?? An awesome LCD flat screen t.v and a DVD/VCR combo. Oh how I love that man. Seriously rocks my world. This is an awesome t.v. We have never had a flat screen t.v before. YAHOO!!!! I haven't measured it yet but it is slightly bigger than our last one which was a 20 inch screen I believe. I am beyond thrilled knowing that I get to return to my routine tonight. What a happy surprise for us. Have I mentioned that I love that man?

Snuggle Happy

I love the cold. I thrive in it. Nine months out of the year I am completely miserable. This year it has been looking like we would all be enjoying Thanksgiving in flip flops and shorts. The cold just wouldn't come. We have had a few nights that were chilly but not REAL holiday weather. Well last night changed all that. It got down to 42 degrees. I adore the holidays. I just haven't been able to get in the mood with the hot weather. Last night we let Davy and Jack in to sleep with us since it was so cold. Limo also made his way onto the bed.

Now I know I have said before that Davy and Jack prefer me where as Limo prefers hubby. When we were all in bed last night we realized that all THREE of them were sleeping directly on top of me. Literally on top. I had one on my legs. One pressed up against my back and one directly under my...well lets just say between my back and legs. Hubby thought it was hilarious. I was not so amused since I could not turn or move at all. I was completely stuck in my position. I probably could have resisted and kicked them of the bed or made them move down lower but I was so exhausted I just didn't have the energy. So I feel asleep.

I woke up several times due to being uncomfortable but I just smiled softly and went back to sleep. I realized that it is actually really sweet. Our animals love us. They are loyal to us. They are happy with us. Isn't that a sweet thought? I am such a lucky girl. It makes me appreciate the things we have even more. Without a yard there is no way we could have taken on three dogs. Little blessings are constantly unfolding from the big ones.

Now I can't wait for the holidays. I am completely in the mood. The weather is fantastic and what could be cozier than snuggling up in a bed full of fluffy blankets and comforters, three dogs and a husband that I love more than words can say? Not to mention the three sleeping kiddos all cozy and snuggled up in the next room.

Relaxing and Fun

Weekends aren't usually my favorite days. With all 3 of the kids home they are usually completely chaotic and stressful. But this one was great. My mom took Macie for the weekend on Saturday morning. Then I went and did our weekly grocery shopping with Makayla and the boy. We stopped and had lunch at McDonald's and the kids got to play. Later I went out by myself and picked up a few Christmas gifts for the kids. We just hung out and relaxed the whole day.

On Sunday hubby ended up with the day off. Before lunch we cuddled together on the couch while watching Sharkboy and Lavagirl with the kids. For lunch we ordered a highly nutritious meal of pizza, boneless buffalo wings, breadsticks and cinnasticks from Pizza Hut. Later we went and picked up Macie and then headed to our friends birthday party. After that we made it back home again and then off to bed for the kiddos. So to sum it all up this weekend was a ton of fun. I love just hanging out with my little family:)

And yes I am well aware that I have not taken any pics of my girls lately. They are sneaky little things.

Off to a good start

A clean kitchen to start our weekend. Lots of plans. Shopping. Cleaning. Friend's birthday party. Hopefully the start to a great weekend.

Refreshing the house

The last few days have been spent cleaning and decluttering. I have gone through a ton of stuff that is still waiting to be donated. On Wednesday I changed all the linens on all four beds.

I kept going and going until I couldn't stand anymore. The house looked great. Then yesterday I wasn't motivated. By the time I got home from physical therapy I just wanted to crash. I cleaned up a little but then I slacked off for the rest of the day.

This morning I woke up in a bad mood because of the messy house. I don't have physical therapy today so I am going to hit it hard only stopping for an hour to watch last nights Grey's Anatomy.

I have a lot planned for today and this weekend is pretty packed as well. I am hoping I can get a ton of stuff accomplished around the house today as well as some crocheting and reading tonight. Only time will tell. Looking around I am feeling pretty overwhelmed. Hope you all have a great weekend.
