Nothing Tuesday

Well I don't know what I have been busy doing? Trying to stay warm I guess. It is so flippin cold here!!! Although Sun got up to 51 degrees, melt all the snow and lots of rain only to drop into the freezing single digits. Now everything is ice and it is so windy making it just TOO COLD!!! This winter sucks. T keeps asking why we live in this place.

Sunday was our 12th wedding anniversary. T wasn't even here. He went to a trade show in Indianapolis.

J had a playdate with a boy from preschool today. We have been trying to get together for the last month, but everyone has been sick. This week they are finally all healthy but they got water in their basement so their house was a wreak. We ended up at McDonalds just so the boys could play. We couldn't dissapoint them anymore.

Also I know you were all just waiting for the results of the amaryllis that I was suppose to post on Sat. It is measuring at 9 5/8" I had to adjust the bulb a bit as the water in it was getting a bit stinky. It is just a bulb siting in water with a few rocks. No dirt. It was getting that fish tank smell.

The Monkey Story

So at dinner tonight Jack cracks a fart (such a boy!) so I said "you are such a monkey" This is the response I got....

"hey, don't call me that. I am not a monkey. Monkeys have tails. I don't have a tail. Monkey's use their tail to hang from trees. Does it look like I can hang from a tree? (I answer no) Trees can't grow in the house, silly. They are a plant and belong outside mommy. Trees get super tall (lifting arm in air showing me tall). They have the pointy things (he is making hand gestures of a pointy thing) that the leaves come out of when they grow. Some are big trees and some trees are little. Most branches are straight but some have branches that cruve like this (again making a jesture) I just listened in awe and shook my head. I didn't dare interrupt him, he was on a role. It is times like this you wish you could grab a video but know that getting up would ruin the moment. I love it when he rambles on with a story.

How many Colors

Stolen from Cassie

23

I drew a complete blank. But then after I looked at the crazy list of colors I wouldn't have even come up with most of those. Some I was spelling wrong to they didn't accept them..like fushia (spelled Fuchsia)

Happy Valentines Day

Hope you all have a day filled with love and laughter!

J has a little party at school today. I am sure he is going to come home with a back pack full of crap! What ever happened to just the paper valentines that you give out. Now everything is a treat bad that we all spend to much money on and most of the stuff gets thrown away. With that said...yes I did do treat bags! LOL I didn't do one at halloween and was shocked to see so many from the kids. I really did keep it down though. Just a sucker, two chocolates and a small glitter pen. I always think that it is a great project for us to sort them and count them and put them together. I was wrong. I guess it is a boy thing. Or maybe becuase it was all hearts and pink. He just wasn't interested in helping. Then we also decorated some heart cookies yesterday...again would have rathered played computer games. I can't wait for a girl who will hopefully be more into these things.

Tom and I went out to dinner last night for our anniversary. It is Sunday, but he will be in Indianapolis at a trade show. We will be married 12 years. OMG!!!! We went to the restaurant that we ate at the night we got engaged. It was yummy!

Update on the amarylis. It is now 6 3/4 inches high. That thing is growing like crazy! It is however starting to get a little stinky. It is just a bulb in a pot with a few small stones. So it is a bit stagnet. PU

J has a friend over today to play. I am on the computer and they are playing in the other room. Then I hear.

J - hey guess what?
Friend- what?
J - I love you
F- I love you too J.

Then I asked "did you just tell him you loved him?" J said yes and his friend said "he is my bestest friend in the whole world."

Isn't that just the cutest??? I taught my boy well. He probably tells me at least 5 times a day he loves me. You can't say it to them enough. J's favorite thing to do, besides trains, is snuggle. I call him my little snugglebug or my squishy.

The Amaryllis

This is our little project. My mom bought J an amaryllis. He just loved flowers last summer. So she thought it would be fun to watch it grow. We got it last Saturday and this is what it looked like

So it is a week later and this is how much it has grown.

I was shocked to see it grow that much in a week. Not sure how long it will take to flower. They usually get much bigger. So stay tuned next Sat for the update. I know you can't wait!! LOL J is having fun watching it. I guess to make it more real I should measure it....ok hold on...(going to get tape to measure)....it is 3 7/8 inches. Didn't that just make your day! At least it is in a pretty red pot! I got these two other little single pot things at Target in the dollar section. One is a rose and one is a strawberry plant. You wet the dirt and put the seed in to watch grow. Something fun to do when it is cold outside. Watch flowers grow inside. I am sure I will kill them with too much water! ROFL New seedling things are hard to do.

Hope you are all having a great weekend!!

Purse Party

I had a purse party last night. I was excited, but I am soooo picky with my purses. I like big purses and they have to have sections. I don't like the bottomless pit purses. Those make me nutso. So seeing as most of the purses don't have sections, I was having a hard time with it. In the end I did end up with one that didn't have sections (it was free). But then I thought I could get the pursse organizer..but they are sold out of them...why..because they were on Oprah. I tell ya if it is on her show..they sell millions. I had good sales so I was able to get two purses. One was Coach and one Kate Spade. I also got a Coach key chain.



I HAD to get the polka dot purse. I am so in love with polka dots now. It is a bit smaller, but it has sections and it is for going out without kids! I never buy anything fun. I mostly carry my big purse cause it fits snacks, a sippy, wipes (always need those) and yes I have a spare pair of Elmo underware in there. ROFL I probably can take those out. He is really past that phase.

Here is the organizer

Ya know I want the polka dot one! They say they are backordered, but it doesn't say until when. Damn that Oprah!
