What A Guy!

Last night, I was not feeling so well. I cooked dinner, fed the kids, and I was done! When Jason got home, I layed down on the couch and slept for most of the night. I woke up in the middle of the night to find that Jason was one busy little daddy after I fell into a deep needed sleep after trying to stay up to see who was voted off of American Idol.

He cleaned up after dinner time, washed the dishes, dried them AND put them away, did laundry AND folded some, gave the kids a bath, did Anabelle's hair (this is an involved process that includes brushing, blow drying, brushing again, and putting it up in a ponytail), cleaned up the TORNADO of toys in the living room (before dinner time Brady decided to dump everything out of the toy box in hopes of finding his duck call), put the kids to bed, and then took a shower. I don't think the poor guy even got to eat dinner! When he was done showering, he gave me a kiss as I was still sleeping on the couch to let me know he was going to bed. It was almost 11 o'clock! I need to be sick more often! :) j/k

To top it all off, he had a ROOT CANAL done at noon yesterday! That sure didn't stop him. What a guy! Thanks babe!!

10 Signs That Spring Is FINALLY Here!!

Spring has FINALLY sprung after a very long, cold, and snowy winter!!

10 signs that spring is finally here (that I observed today):

1) Having my peanut butter granola bar melt after sitting in my lunch bag on Jill's dashboard while we were shopping at Kohl's on our lunch hour
2) Going to the gym and seeing a lot of open treadmills
3) The gym having some windows open
4) Hearing a loud motorcycle blare by as I was working out on the treadmill
5) Seeing a group of about 10 kids playing basketball and grilling out on our way home
6) Watching a robin land in the backyard
7) Jason pulling the Jeep out of "storage" (YEH!)
8) Staying lighter out longer
9) My 3 year old telling me that she doesn't need a coat on because it's too hot
10) My car reading the outside temperature in the 60's (haven't seen that in a long time!!)

A little trivia - When I was watching the news tonight, I saw that it was 73 degrees here one year ago today.

Kids Eating Dinner

Tonight, as the kids were eating dinner Brady took some of Anabelle's dinner and ate it. Anabelle said, "Mommy, Brady took my dinner." Then she asked Brady, "Why did you take it?" Brady said, "I didn't take it. I ate it." I just laughed. It's so funny listening to them talk to each other. They just crack me up!

"Mommy, Look...a P"

The other night as we were in the kitchen, Anabelle said, "Mommy, look...a P."

Whenever my kids say or do something new, I always wonder when or where did they learn that?? They never cease to amaze me!

Here is her "P" that she made:

"Mommy, Do You Know How Much I Love You?"

About a month or two ago, Anabelle started asking me, "Mommy, do you know how much I love you?" Then, she would hold out her hands and give me a "10". Then she will say, "Mommy, do you know how much I love your feelings?" Then, she stretches her arms out really wide.

Brady has now picked up on this from Anabelle, and now he says, "Mommy, do you know how much?" and then, he will give me a "10" too!

They just melt my heart!

Anabelle's 80's Pony Tail

As I sit here to write this blog, Brady says, "Catch Mommy" and throws a coaster at me....NICE! :)

Any who...after Jason made Brady's crib into a toddler bed, he brushed and blow dried Anabelle's hair after bath time. He gave her the cutest "80's pony" and did a pretty good job!!

On another funny note...Anabelle told me tonight that in the summer time she wants her hair cut just a little tiny bit.

Here is a picture....

The Front of the Crib is Coming Off!

This past week has just been a "big boy" week for Brady. First with potty training, which is coming along great! Now, Jason is currently taking the front of Brady's crib off to make it into a toddler bed. Jason just found one of Brady's binkies behind the bed, and Brady threw it in the garbage. He was done with that awhile ago...thank goodneess! I thought we would never get rid of that thing! My baby is just growing up so fast!

Here is a picture from last night's poopy time, which ended in success! :)
