Happy Weekend! (and a guest post)

This is my husband.

... well, was my husband, about a year and a half ago.



(These days, he's asking me to cut his hair with a #1 guard on the clippers. Bootcamp style.
Hat, boots, and buckle still make an appearance every once in a while though.)

How he manages to still be good looking, even with all that fur is beyond me. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend, ya'll!

-and, a guest post-

I wanted to share my best girlfriend's recent blog entry about her day. Because it made me laugh and actually, in a very unexpected way, made me want to be a Mom.

The post is titled,

"A Day In the Life of Emily"

This blog isn't meant to be a pity party about my day today.

I actually had a pretty good day and a lot of laughs about what went on in this house.

Here's just a few things that went wrong today.

I was tempted to take pictures of each event

but our house was way too messy for that.

Wake up at 6:00 to HArper crying.

Hold Harper to try to put him back to sleep.

Get back in bed then Mason wakes up

Sit on the couch and watch Cartoons and eat waffles with Mason

kiss Carter as he leaves for work

use my bare hand and a piece of paper to scrape

snow off the windows of the Suburban

while trying to stand on the huge tires,

because the snow scraper was left in Carters car that he took to work.

Search for the car keys for ten minutes

later to find out they were hanging in the new spot

I made for them two days ago.

Take Mase to Preschool

Teach the letter I at preschool

come home after preschool and get

my Visiting teaching message ready so I could go VT

Mason spills the gallon of milk in the kitchen

Harper decides my undees needed to be dunked in the Toilet

(He was cracking up while doing this)

The Captain crunch box got dumped

through the entire family room and couch cussions

Vacumed the couch and carpet

Washed the couch cussions

Mason stepped on a bannana in the hall

Then mason walked through the whole house

I scrubbed bannana off the carpet.

May I add that all this happend in 30 minutes

between preschool and Visiting Teaching. :)

Go VT

Put Harper down for a nap

Put a movie on for Mase

Ate half a bag of dill pickle chips and a cherry seven up

(I swear I never do this)

Give the boys a shower

(we don't have a bath and they love showers)

Get Harper out and he pees twice all over the bathroom rugs

Get Mason out and he pees on the kitchen floor

because Harper got to pee on the floor

Get them in jammies

Then change two poopy diapers

Take them to Wal Mart to get out of the house

Mason Just had to wear his snow boots even though its not snowing

(without socks he demanded)

Let them open the cinnamon gold gish

in the store to keep them happy

Come home and make dinner

clean the house AGAIN :)

Put the kids to bed

Clean some more

Watched American Idol

Then sit on the couch and laugh about what the heck happend all day!

Then Blogged

Then realized today wasn't much different than most days but I love it.

Little boys are very active and into everything and it keeps me very busy. I love being a mom. Everyday there is something new to do, overcome, smile about, get mad at, learn from or be gratefull for (even if it is that the day is over). I really did have a good day and it was actually very entertaining.

(how she does it, I have no idea. I don't even have an ounce of her positivity.

But she makes it sound not only possible, but enjoyable. Love and miss you, Em.

I've been a bad friend, we need to talk soon.)
