Terrific Tuesday

Today is Terrific! You know why? Because I get to stay home with my kids all day. I have no appointments. I have no projects. I have no babysitting. All I have to do is stay home with my babies in this warm house. All I have to do is kiss, hug, hold, and clean. I am the luckiest mom in the world on this terrific Tuesday.

Why is today terrific for you?

Merry Monday

The other day #3 got hurt on the trampoline. I went over to him and asked if he needed a kiss. He said, "It hurts here", pointing to his knee. So I kissed it. "It hurts here", pointing to his nose. So I kissed it. Then he got a silly little look on his face and said, "It hurts here," and pointed to his lips.

What a cute little stinker!

Terrific Tuesday

you?

Here is another funny story from our family book.

18 months ago

Hubbin said to #4, "This is a phone, can you say phone?"

#4 was holding a car, so he holds it up, shows it to Hubbin and says "Tar".

Hubbin says, "Phone, say Phone"

#4 says "tar say tar"

Hubbin says, "f,f,f,f,f, phone"

#4 says, "f,f,f,f,f,f, TAR"

Merry Monday to you!

Workin' Wednesday

I will finish removing the wall paper in the bathroom this week, and paint- Should I put up wainscoting? The end goal is something similar to this. My bathroom is not this big, but I do love the little pedestal sink, the mirror flat against the wall, and the subtle hint of blue, with white and silver accessories.

I just found a super great idea- for storage above the shower! Brilliant!

Have you seen these? I love them! This is such a great idea! Really any basket or box screwed to the wall is cool!

What are you working on this week?

Terrific Tuesday

Catching On?

Yep I am trying to start a theme here.

OK, so today is another terrific Tuesday. What is so special about it? You may be asking yourself this very question. Well, tonight is IKEA night! On Tuesdays at IKEA, kids eat free. So, every Tuesday night we go to IKEA, feed the kids, check them into the free 1 hour babysitting, buy 4 hotdogs and 2 sodas-for $4 and have a date. If we choose to, we walk around the store, but usually we just sit in the cafeteria and talk.

Thank you IKEA for feeding my family of 7 for $4 and providing free babysitting for date night. Love YA!

(#2, #1, #3)

Welcome to the first of the new series.

Every Monday I will be posting a funny story from our family book. I hope that the stories will make you laugh.

This one is from 2009.

The other day we made stew. My family calls it Rainbow Stew. The boys could have a treat if they ate dinner. #2 has inherited his mommas sweet tooth. He will do anything for a treat. He gobbled his stew up, and he started on his ice cream. #1 was a little bit leery. He asked #2 what it tasted like. Without missing a beat #2 said, "Dead Frogs". #3 had just finished his stew. Upon hearing what he ate, tasted like dead frogs, he threw up. Surprisingly, after all of this #1 ate his stew and had desert.

Have a Merry Monday!
