Be nice Kim......

She can be so man to Kourtney....ok, after too much HGTV while not feeling well, I started to watch a couple episodes of the K sisters. They really could be nicer to one another.

Dr. Oz would say to me drink fluids and rest....yes yes yes....I know...it's like the Groundhog Day movie!


and I also found myself watching the Paint Zoom infommercial way too long...way.too.long.... and I was way.too. interested.oh my!

You're not in Kansas,I mean Texas anymore!

I will never forget how James just stood there, not sure what to make of the snow. He had just moved from sunny,warm TX to the snowy, cold Northeast.
Now, 3 yrs. later, here he is out on the slopes for the 1st time and loving it...even in 7 degree weather!!

If you like the 1/1/11 thing like I did......

This year we will experience four unusual dates, 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11. Now..go figure this out----take the last two digits of the year you were born, plus the age you will be THIS year and it will equal 111.

You can have your Wii.....

or other games...I think I enjoyed Spin Art on the Nick Jr. website more than the kids!
Lunch today...Ty took these out from the cabinet.... could try to impress by saying it was a fine motor activity...but I just thought it was funny to let them play "the claw" that chooses the cheese from the package...and grabs the turkey breast off the plate:) why not?.... it's cold, it's winter, and we're in all day. I have to amuse myself,too:)

It's all mine now!

Or maybe I should feel guilty that I busted open the Advent calendar (with chocolate behind the doors) that I forgot to give James way back on Thanksgiving. Oh well, I figured it wouldn't keep so now each time I go to do the laundry or bring down recycling I take one. Kinda nice that I can just pick any old day and not have to look for the numbers!

Scratch this off the list...


of things we can do this week! Inside activities...hit the Dollar store, so we're prepared!

Hitched my ride....

and back! Kel, it was the Jetta! again...Van Go is ranking higher lately! especially w/ the snack table.

If you don't see me again......

it's because a guy named Stubby is picking me up to get my repaired car from the dealer
....again!!
but that was also the name of our late hamster...so maybe I'm getting a ride back from the hamster in the Kia commercial.

Let's go to the movies....

and we did while Mom was working... I liked Boo Boo's personality, but it took about 2 minutes for Yogi's voice to annoy the he** out of me.

I have memories of the cartoon which I will keep instead.

But I got a kick out of being there with the kids. Tyler and Jennie were interested in the previews(Ty looked at me and said "that was a good one" after the Roadrunner cartoon:) watched the movie for a little bit, then became far more interested in using the entire row, then expanded to the aisle where they were fascinated by the red floor lights. All the while, they didn't make a peep. A needed bathroom break mid-way and then made it through to the exciting ending:) At the end, they both said, "that was a good show!" :))))))

a perfect afternoon with the kids in my book:)

Score.....

=before photos...play kitchen and vanity I guarded at the landfill until Pep could return with the truck. Too bad the kitchen sat in a few hours of rain ,but I think a little cleaning and contact paper will do the job. The vanity just needs a thorough cleaning. Hey, Kel, and I was just ready to find the boxes to make the cardboard one!

There's a princess.....

in the house....Jennie's new big girl bed:)

Happy New Year in Maine

James and I take the first walk of the new year together. We stopped for ice cream.
Jared may not think it was funny, but.... Coach's training orange thing got caught in the tree, so you can see what got caught in the tree next while trying to get it down. I didn't stick around long in case I was next.


A wish from James:)
