Fun Weekend

Josh got to come home early on Friday! WOO! We used our time wisely and didn't do a single constructive thing... or did we. No I think we saved it all for Saturday. Anyway... we made some banana muffins with Noah. He really likes the new oven because you can see right through the glass and it has in internal light. He must have checked the muffins at least every 30 seconds. He always announced it first "Ma'ee I check muppins!". Fun times :)

Saturday we went out and got me a chair for Tristan's room. I LOVE it. It's a little rocker/recliner and I so enjoy not sitting on the floor. Tristan's room is almost done! Grandma B is making him a valance that matches the blanket she made for him for Christmas. I love the animals so I sketched out a little scene that I'm going to paint on the wall in there. The hippo is going to be next to the whole group in a big lake. Noah's room is going to get dinosaurs (probably the ones from Land Before Time) and little Noah hand prints eventually.

Josh found a stool at Michael's real cheap and thought it would be fun to let Noah paint it. Noah LOVES painting so of course he had a blast. I had him write all the letters in his name... he already knows which ones and which order, but he's not too keen on writing them in a straight line. He did them all by himself! He even remembered how to make all of them without me helping... yeah so the "N" is backwards... he's only 3! haha ;) I think we ended up with a priceless piece of furniture.

Tristan slept for at least a 5 hour chunk last night. I fell asleep sometime around 5am in my new chair while feeding him, but eventually woke back up and rejoined the hubby in bed. I feel great today, very energized. I'm not too sure why. I didn't get any extra sleep or anything... I don't think. Today we're going to chow down on pizza and relax even more. I'm going to pretend I'm interested in the dumb superbowl and semi-watch it with Josh while I do laundry. Maybe I'll even ask a lot of dumb questions... "what does first down mean?" hahaha. Just kidding, babe ;)

Wow,great Job Noah!! I love his stool. He mush be so proud. Ava just gets so excited when she creates something artistic & she has to show everyone her new project..."See Daddy"..."See Ember"...haha


I love the last picture. Ember loves to sleep on her belly too. She must take after her Mommy :)

Yaya for your nursing chair. It looks so comfy! I would fall asleep in it too...I fall asleep every time I sit in mine. I feel like an old lady but I just can't keep my eyes open!!

Great sketch! It looks exactly like his blanket! I miss sketching. I draw stuff for Mark here & there but I never seem to have time to sit down & draw! I really have been meaning to. I have never been really big on painting...my Mom does awesome murals though. I love Ava's butterfly room that she made her.

I am sure both boys rooms will look sooo cool. You will have to post pictures!!

Aww, I love your new chair. It defintely looks comfy!!! We have one of those in our living room. I'm not allowed to sit in it when Dave is home haha.

Noah's stool is so cute! I can't believe he can write his letters. That is so great! Does he go to preschool next year? I think three is a good age to learn that stuff early.

I'm really glad that Tristan is sleeping for you. No sleep is not fun! He looks so cute sleeping away. So peaceful!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born....
