The Fog

Last week we had horrible fog. I mean really a ton of fog. I took a picture of the fog. I thought I'd take a picture of the same roadway today - because it is the most beautiful day ever - and post them so that you can see how horrible the fog really was.
Ewweee - I was kind of afraid to drive on that crazy fog day.
Somehow that didn't stop me from taking the picture though. Hmmmm....

Okay Already

I know I was harping on the old ladies that call my sweet baby a girl.
I know, I know!
But can you really blame me for buying the most perfect for this baby onesie that you ever did see, even though it was on the clearance rack in the baby girl department?
Can you?!?!? CAN YOU?!?

Best $2.00 I've spent in a long time. And I actually think the puffed and pleated sleeves look very nice on him.

The View Today

I took myself out to lunch today. Just me and the Sweet Baby Wyatt. We had a very busy morning, so he slept through the whole lunch. It was a very very quiet lunch.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I sat in the car for a few minutes trying to decide if I was making a good choice. Should I spend the money? Should I get the sleeping baby out of the car? Do I really want to sit by myself in the restaurant? Do I REALLY want to carry that heavy car seat in?

So while I sat and tried to figure out what I should do, I looked out the window to my left. This is what I saw...

Then I looked out the window to my right and saw this...

And how about the fact that this that this is the t-shirt that I am wearing today.


I love that all around us are people willing to love and send positive messages. I really really do. I wonder if the people that put the letters up on the signs really think about how they can very positively impact a person's day. I hope so, because they definitely made me smile today.

The Bright Morning Sun


This morning I was standing outside of the Hobby Lobby. Just couldn't stop staring at these shadows. The pictures don't do them justice. They were beautiful.

Biggest Best Buddy


Tonight, like every Tuesday night, we were gathered around the TV watching The Biggest Loser.

About halfway through the episode, Miles says 'When I grow up, I wanna go on the biggest loser with Quinn.'

Now that is some kind of friendship. Six years and 40lbs now, 36 years and 300lbs later - and still friends.

Gotta love it.

Posterboard

Today's savings brought to you by Hobby Lobby. Yep, that's right - Hobby Lobby.

#4 needed a piece of poster board for his 100 days of school project. It frustrates me to by poster board. I know every time we buy it, that at some point it is going to end up in the trash. Even the VERY BEST projects end up in the trash eventually.

This time when we are throwing out the project, I won't cringe as much. Poster board is 30% off at Hobby Lobby this week. That's right - only $.60 per sheet. What a deal. I might even go back tomorrow and buy some more just to have a stock of it. And FYI - it can be as high as $1.39 per sheet when purchasing at HEB or Walgreen's. UGH!

Oh, and another thing about Hobby Lobby music. Did you know that most of the music that is played in the store are traditional hymns from the Baptist Hymnal? Today while shopping I heard 'I Surrender All' and 'Rock of Ages'. They are sneaky though, because it just sounds like elevator music. So I am guessing that the general population doesn't realize they are listening to church hymns.

How 'bout that.

My Shoes

So put yourself in my shoes.

Superbowl Sunday. #1 has three friends over to watch the big game. They are excited and whopping it up.

And then comes Danica.

I wish you could have seen the looks on their faces after this commercial aired. Four 12 year old boys sitting our couch. They all turned beat red and then repeated 'I'll show you enhanced' for the rest of the night. Nice, huh? They are making memories I suppose.

Good thing I was sitting in the chair by the couch breastfeeding at the time.
