Surprise gift!

The first part of my training has been over for 1 week!  To celebrate my training being over, and my official move from the office to the classroom...Hubby got me a gift!  It was a surprise gift, with more surprises than he intended!  

Being in the office, I was able to read a few blogs, and tweet a little during the down times.  However, in the classroom, especially with the under 3 crowd...no down time!  And even if there was, not appropriate to be on the phone tweeting while in the classroom.  So...Hubby got me this to help with my tweeting addiction!

Hahaha!  I love it!  There was a little issue with the delivery, but it got here!  (It was showing delivered, but it wasn't.  Hubby called and found out that this was an issue with a couple other deliveries in the area...not sure what happened, but we do know that the manager was in the area trying to fix the issues!)  My first paper tweet you ask?  

Saturday Morning Scene

I am posting this rrrreeeaaalllly late, but better late then never, right?

Anyway, I'm joining Kate at Loves of Life a little late today to share part of our Saturday morning.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned on the blog that I am going to get my Infant and Toddler Montessori teacher training this summer.  I am super excited, and cannot wait to get out of the office and back into the classroom.  I have to admit, I am a little afraid scared anxious about taking classes again....and the long hours...and going another 5 weeks with no paycheck...pretty much this who training thing.  But, I am so excited, and that overrides all other feelings.  So, this morning, C and I went to the post office and mailed in my application!

Excuse the bedhead, he was a last minute addition to my trip and didn't get his hair brushed.

Today is also my Hubby's birthday.  We really wanted to do something fun and exciting, maybe have a few friends over, but with the boys being so sick this week, we didn't get anything together.  So we had a relaxing day at home.  We didn't really do anything, just played with the boys, I took a nice long nap, and Hubby got some awesome presents!  Happy Birthday, baby!

I hope every had a wonderful Saturday!  

Weekend Recap!

What a great weekend!  I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend filled with friends and family.  On Saturday, I went to another book club meeting.  This time we discussed The Last Child by John Hart.  It was a great book!  There were 6 of us at the meeting who had read the book, and we all agreed it was fantastic.  Sure, it had some parts that we all could have done without, but it was written very well and provided lots of thought and discussion.  I highly recommended it!

Saturday night, we went out to eat with Hubby's family to a wing place.  To say I was excited to be eating wings is an understatement.  Someone at work mentioned wings at work last week, and ever since, I have HAD to have them!  Yummmm...wings :)

Sunday was all about C and Hubby (and Copper too!)  We had a relaxing day at home.  I did feel bad for C though.  At one point Hubby and I thought C really needed to get some energy out, so we got C dressed, sunscreen on and ready to go....only to realize once Hubby and C got to the door that it had started raining!  Oh no!  Since it was a calm rain, Hubby decided to take C on a walk in the rain.  So they grabbed an umbrella and off they went!  It was such a relaxing family day.  I hope to have more in the future!!

Randomness

It's Monday....I'm not a huge fan of Monday mornings.  But, today will be a good day!  And I will not fall asleep at work....I hope :)

We had a busy weekend traveling to Mema's house again.  C had a blast and kept everyone on their feet.  Lots of running, soccer, bowling and snacks.  Gotta love Memas!

We started potty training last week.  We're following my moms lead since she's with C most during the day.  Most of my mommy friends are doing the 3-day potty training technique, my mom prefers a more child led approach, which I am all for.  So, C wears underwear, we remind him to sit every 45 min or so, and if he goes great...if not, he gets a new pair of underwear when needed.  Since this is my blog, and I can brag if I want to...last Thursday, C went pee and poop on the potty!  Twice!  That's right, my toddlers a genius at the potty.  However, he was home with daddy on Friday, so he didn't wear any underwear (too many errands to run) and we didn't do the underwear thing at Mema's this weekend...oops.  Also, I might have used a little bribe with my iPhone.  C loves to play games on it, and since I KNEW he had to go, I let him have the phone when he asked to play a game...mommy fail...but he went pee and poopy on the potty, twice! 

My dog stayed the weekend at my parents house while we went to Mema's, I opened his crate this morning at 5:20, and he has yet to come out, it's 6:15.  Tired little puppy!

Hubby took this picture a couple months ago.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!! 

7 Years!

Wow!  Today is our wedding anniversary!  We got married on July 26, 2003.  I cannot believe it's been 7 years!  Love you, Hubby!

This is us at Prom in June 1999!

At my niece's wedding in July 2008.

And I don't have any wedding pictures on this computer :(  I'll have to upload some after work and put them on. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

Guest Blog: Wifey's TV

Hey everybody! For some time Wifey has been asking me to guest blog and I have something on my mind.

How do I keep getting caught up in Wifey's TV shows?

I love scripted TV, but for some reason I keep getting sucked into these reality based shows my wife watches. Lets take for example 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey.' Here is how I typically get wrapped up in these things.

Me: What are you watching?

Her: This new housewives show.

Me: Why? Come one this thing is dumb.

Her: Fine don't watch.

Me: *In my head* Damn, this is the only TV I can watch. I'll score some points if sit here and act interested.

Me: So who is that women on screen? What's her deal? No, the other one. Yeah the one with the fake boobs. (Now I'm really interested) Why is she such a bitch? Wait, how can they afford that huge house? There is no furniture! I'll get to the bottom of this. Look honey Wikipedia says they are in foreclosure. See they cant afford that house, told you. Ooooohhhh that one chick has a criminal record. She has kids! Poor kids. Uh-oh there is a cat fight brewing! Wow they are pulling hair! Let me just add this to the TiVo in case we want to watch more later.

Her: *Rolls Eyes*

 

Thanks Hubby!  Anyone else find their TV time being overtaken by having to explain everything?

Happy Father's Day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day!  We had a fun day.  Hubby wanted to go bowling, so we got our stuff together and were at the bowling alley by 11:30.  C and Hubby had a great time bowling, I even bowled a game!  Then, after a quick trip home for C to take a nap, we went out to dinner with Hubby's parents.  It was a fun and relaxing day.

Hubby is such a great dad and husband.  He is very calm and patient with C.  He is very tolerant of C, and loves to play with C.  I am very thankful to have found such a wonderful guy to be my partner in life!

(I didn't take very many pictures this time.) 

Happy (Belated) Father's Day to all the dad's out there!!
