I LOVE my Hubs!!!

...and this time it's not because he buys me things or doesn't make me 'work' or lets me start 'home-businesses' or anything else like that. It's because he let me open my Christmas present early!!!!
Check this out!

I AM SO FREAKIN' EXCITED!!! I got these Rachael Ray pots and pans!! We have been married for 8 1/2 years and these are the first real 'set' of pots AND pans that I've owned!!

He said he let me open them now so that I could get them washed up and use them to make Christams Dinner!! Isn't that sweet? You don't think so? Well I do and I am SUPERFREAKINFANTABULOUS EXCITED!!!!

We do this every year! We are so awful about keeping anything secret from each other. We end up telling/giving each other gifts early. That's why I ALWAYS usually wait till a couple days before Christmas to get his or I'll give it to him a week before!!!

OOOh, I can taste my yummy food now!!!! Onions sauteing in my little skillet! Boiling some potatoes to make creamy mashed taters!! Chicken breasts sizzling in EVOO!!! Yumm-O!!!!!

Hungry yet? Come on over and I'll fix ya whatever yer little heart desires!!

(I keep talking like thes pans are gonna make me cook like Rachael or something!!)

You just never know!!!

Here are 40 Inspirational Movie Speeches in 2 minutes!!

Can you name all the movies??

I could only think of a few!

Just A Little Coffee!!

Every Saturday morning we let the older girls drink a little coffee with some creamer.
I know, I know.... too much caffeine!!!! My neighbors would 'freak' if they new we did this! They don't let their kids drink anything besides Sprite and Root Beer!

I'm the one who has to entertain these children though, they don't. So bottoms up T!! The house needs to be cleaned!! Let me tell you, they are quite the 'Lil Tasmanian Devils' when it comes to cleaning after drinking a 'cup 'o joe'!! See? There is a method to my madness!!!

A Little Help! Please?

I am making this for my in-laws. They are done having grandkids. (I say this like it's their choice to stop!) haha

When I come up with an idea to do something...I never fully think it out. I just 'start doing' and hope everything comes together.

Well, now I am stuck!! If you all would be so kind to give me some ideas on the wording. I would be forever greatful!!!

A little side note: I usually try not to worry about being perfect when I do things, because I know that I can't be. And I'm less stressed for lack of trying to make it that way. But when it comes to 'outgifting' my sil. THIS BABY HAS TO ROCK!!!!!!

I'm wanting to play on the words of: Favorite things in Grammy and PaPa's Pond.

I haven't glued anything down yet, so there is room to move things around!

Thank you all in advance! I can't wait to get this finished up!!

I just thought you should know!

I was just getting ready to start supper and I realized that today I have a touch of the 'VD'!! (verbal diarrhea!)
What did you think it meant??

It's not the 'drunk' kind. It's just the 'wanting to post a whole bunch of stuff on my blog kind'!
As you may remember, I had mentioned something about a 'Giveaway' when I hit 50 posts?!
I am really excited about that and I don't have to many more to go!
I was going to do it at 100 but I thought that would take too long. Maybe I should have set that for my goal anyway!!
I'm almost wondering if I'm going to have the item ready or not???
Don't worry though, I will!!
This is too exciting!!

I know this is kind of sneaky and probably a little sleazy but I just want everyone to know:
If you are a 'follower' of mine, you'll get a 'heads up' to my giveaway!!!
Just sayin'!
And depending on how well that goes....there may be more!!!

Well, off to feed the 'hoodlums' and bake some cookies!!

Excitement for a 2 year old

Saturday afternoon we were putting up a couple of decorations in our front yard. S got another

little tree out of our shed that had belonged to his grandmother. (That I forgot to put up)

He told D that she could have it. She didn't seem to excited at first because it did not light up....or so she thought!!

S put it in her room and plugged it in while she was busy doing whatever it is that 2yearolds do...

Later she wondered into her room and came out screaming!!!!!

Daddy fixed my tree!! Daddy fixed my tree!!! And then she proceeded to hug his legs, tell him 'thanks' and 'I wuv you daddy!'

I know...melts your heart, right? Mine too, I'm just a little jealous though. S ALWAYS gets to swoop in and make everybody happy!!

Another piece of excitement from D came this morning when she got a hold of my camera! She came in screaming all excited AT me and honestly, I had no clue what she was saying. She held out the camera to me and I pushed review. She had taken a picture of her chair!!

MY CHWAIR, MY CHWAIR!!!! ( I know, I know.. you are probably thinking she needs speach....I think we will be okay though. If she is still talking like this at Christmas next year, I'll get the phone book out!)

Yes, it is quite blurry but I guess that's what you get when you take a picture with the camera turned to 'mountain'.

Good try though! Sometimes I think it's way better than anything mommy coulda done!!

This could happen to you!

Be sure and check your child's homework!!
This didn't happen to me, but you never know who may fall victim!!
