Halloween Costumes…

The boys and I went to Party City this weekend to look at Halloween costumes. There are some seriously nasty costumes for little boys.

 We saw these beauties right at D3′s eye level. He was totally grossed out. Thank goodness, because I was too. Who chooses these costumes?  I don’t know , I just think that is WAY too much for a little kid.

D3 is really wanting to be a Star Wars character this year. He is totally obsessed with Star Wars right now. I’m actually able to have conversations about Padawans and light sabers and Jedis and clone, sand and storm troopers.


D3 is trying to decide between these lovelies. He REALLY wants his baby brother to skip out on the Pooh’s honeypot costume or the cute spider…

Not really B. J This is D3 at 22 months

and be Yoda.

I don’t know, I think it would be really cute for their costumes to match like that. I think I’ve truly become a ‘boy mom’ if I’m thinking the kids would be so cute as Yoda and Darth Vader.

It’s Something That We Do…

The other day I was cleaning the kitchen and listening to my awesome Zune stereo that Dan got me for my birthday. 

Music makes cleaning so much more enjoyable.  Anyway, this Clint Black song came on that I hadn’t heard in ages and I really had forgotten about it.  It is the most beautiful song- both melody and lyrics.  It’s been stuck in my head ever since. (click on the song title on the player below and it will play the song)

It’s Something that We Do

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true

Love is certain, love is kind
Love is yours and love is mine
But it isn’t something that we find
It’s something that we do
  

It’s holding tight, lettin’ go
It’s flying high and laying low
Let your strongest feelings show
And your weakness, too

It’s a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn’t something that we have
It’s something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can’t tell where I end and where you start

It gives me heart remembering how
We started with a simple vow
There’s so much to look back on now
Still it feels brand-new

We’re on a road that has no end
And each day we begin again
Love’s not just something that we’re in
It’s something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can’t tell where I end and where you start

Love is wide, love is long
Love is deep and love is strong
Love is why I love this song
And I hope you love it too

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn’t just those words we said
It’s something that we do

There’s no request too big or small
We give ourselves, we give our all
Love isn’t someplace that we fall
It’s something that we do

Sunday Scripture…

“Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs.”

- I Corinthians 13:4-5 (NIV)

Our three words…

Our week in three words:

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more

Every week I like to sum up my week in three words. I love the segment on Good Morning America weekends, where people so creatively tell about their week in three words.

This week, I couldn’t make up my mind which way to go. I don’t want to discuss politics on my blog, so I did not want post about the Awful Financial State of our country. D3′s been super busy this week. He has had book fair, soccer 2 nights and an apple festival this week. I didn’t really want a post of the life of a Very Busy Kindergartener. I’ve already made a post this week about our Unpredictable Internet Connection. Which is back on finally! I will spare you all the three word post about PMS. I figure that is WAY too much information.

So, I’m settling for I’ve Got Nothin’! Semi-typical week. Possible uncreative blog author.

The Housework Relationship…

Housework and I don’t have a very loving relationship. You would think that we would, since we spend so much time together, but I just don’t love it.

Maybe because it’s always staring me in the face.

Maybe because when I am loading this

The baby is unloading this

Or maybe because when I feel like I have succeeded by having this empty

There is a full one just around the corner to be put away.

I’ve been trying to catch up on housework today since it’s my day off. Trying being the key word. It has put me in the worst mood. Isn’t that terrible?

I need to come up with a system, so that it doesn’t pile up on me. I think I am going to make myself a daily to-do list and make sure I get that done, so that I don’t have to play catch up on my days off. <sigh> How I wish I were a little more OCD around the house.
