My Daniel is nine years old now. He is such a sweet and smart and caring boy. I can almost smell preteenhood. I’m not sure I’m ready!!

Random Blogging…

January 15, 2012 By Cindy 2 Comments

Well, blogging in 2012 is non-existant so far! And it’s already the 15th day in – yikes! My first few days of January have been filled with strep throat and trying to get back to work. I had been off for over a month, so getting back into the swing of things has been challenging to say the least! In order to get a blogpost up, I’m going for random. When am I not random? I’m not so sure, but here we go…

* I’m blogging from my ipad for the first time. We will see if I’m capable of such a thing!

* We started off our year with Daniel getting strep throat and then I was next in line. It’s the total pits and I wish adults could recover as fast a kids!

*Daniel earned his purple belt in karate in December. He’s super proud and really enjoying karate.

* I might should not own up to the fact that I’m a soap fan, but I am and I’m sad that One Life to Live had their last episode Friday! I’ve watched that show my entire life {ratting you out there too, Momma } and it’s been my one that I’ve DVR’d since Daniel was born. It’s always been my kid naptime show. No more…

* Daniel got a few gift cards for his birthday and Christmas and was dying to spend them after Christmas. He had $65 and managed to buy $100 worth of Legos and a new game for his DS. That’s my bargain shopper! He was so excited to get 2 huge Lego sets for half off.

*Luke was also excited to use his gift cards… for what else? Batman, of course. They now make Batman legos. After Christmas. Guess who wants them all?

* We went to Golden Corral last night {we haven’t been in ages} and they now have a chocolate fountain that my kiddos thought was the best thing ever. There was ridiculous amounts of chocolate on our children and their plates!
Chocolate covered strawberries for my strawberry lover

*I need a lot more practice on this ipad blogging thing. I’m too used to my computer.

* Have I mentioned my love of teacher blogs? Since I got my new job they are saving me with there awesome activities! That and teacherspayteachers.com.

* Luke is really into The Magic Treehouse books right now. I thought he might want to read a chapter book and I was right. He is loving them. I had book 1 at school, so he wrote me a note the other day to put with my school things, so that I would bring the book home for him.

*That’s all for now!

A Peak into my House…

December 29, 2011 By Cindy 1 Comment

If you were to peak into my house today you would see people wearing pajamas and playing with new toys (even a boy riding a new bike around the house).

If you were to peak into my house today you would see a Christmas tree waiting to be disassembled and a couch full of decorations ready for Christmas boxes.

If you were to peak into my house today you would see lots of people (and animals) resting and all of my pretty Christmas cards still hanging on the Christmas tree.

I made a Christmas card blessing ring this year and LOVE it!

If you were to peak into my house today you would see a big ole mess and a sick boy lying on the couch playing video games.

Actually, maybe it’s best that you don’t peak into my house today…

Nine…

December 19, 2011 By Cindy 1 Comment

My first born little man is nine years old now! It’s crazy how fast time flies when you’re someone’s Momma!

Daniel woke up to his now expected balloons in his room. There were nine of them this year.

And streamers in the door way.

We spaced out the gift opening a little bit, because he was so excited. There was lots of Star Wars lego play before 8:00!

Daniel had a few buddies come over to play and eat pizza around lunch time. He was so proud of his cake. He went to the store and picked it out all by himself. Lots of chocolate. And some weird Christmas gift that looked like Mardi Gras on top. I love that he has embraced his December birthday, because he loved that Christmas birthday cake!
