I Loved Today

I LOVED TODAY and I will tell you why...

1. Ellie was happy ALL DAY LONG. She gave me kisses and hugs and she let me put her hair in piggy buns and she left them in. She let me cut her toenails. She walked with me to pick up Sadie from her class. She was good to her brother, she laughed, and smiled, and made happy sounds... all day long.

2. I found another bird in the house and I got it out. Say it with me... CABIN!

3. We bought more Pirate's Booty. Have you ever had Pirate Booty? You should, especially because it is so fun to say.

Sadie: Mom, can I have Pirate Booty in my lunch?

Me: Yes, Sadie, you can have Pirate Booty in your lunch. Did you want Pirate Booty for your snack as well?

Sadie: Yes mom, I want Pirate Booty for my snack too.

How much less interesting would that conversation be if say, it was about raisins? Pirate's Booty is sold at your local Costco.

4. I got a brownie mix at Costco. Now I can make the yummy brownies that we had the other night at Ellisons. I have been daydreaming about those brownies. Also, I am going to make some for my neighbors as a thank you for the other day.

5. I prayed that Sawyer would take a really long nap today so that I could get some boxes unpacked, especially since I have had to go run stupid Army errands for two days in a row, and guess what!?! Sawyer napped for over two hours. He is normally about a 45 minute guy. Prayers are answered. By the way, he was adorable before and after his nap and the whole rest of the day. Even right before he went to sleep, when he dropped his binky down between the top of my bed and the wall. He was laughing. If anyone knows the huge giant wood thing that is my bed you will know that before I go to sleep tonight I am going to have to go search the house for another binky.

By the way, the shirt that Ellyn is wearing is from her daddy and Sadie got one too and they were so stinking cute and bright and colorful today that I couldn't help but be happy.

Good Night.

You'll definitely have to give me instructions on the bird thing!!!

The Pirate Booty looks pretty alluring too!

Wish I could have been there instead of walking on plastic all over the house!!!

Love,

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

By
These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

By
I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
