Why??

Why is it that my day goes good until Austin gets home? When he gets home I am usually in the middle of some project and he thinks he has to interrupt. Well not really interrupt but detain me from finishing.
Take yesterday for example when he got home I was in the middle of moving everything from the dining and living room into the kitchen so that I could shampoo carpets. Yeah... I didn't get to shampoo carpets and everything is still in the kitchen... in the way... in the kitchen. But I'm not bitter. No that wouldn't coincide with my 'good wife' ways now would it.
I know your wondering what I did instead of the carpets. Well naturally I had to run to town and run the errands that Austin didn't/wouldn't do on his way home because obviously I wasn't in the middle of anything. Some days I just want to beat him.
I had to go get Hyde dog food at the farm store; Wal-Mart for painters tape, metal roller tray, roller liners, and a 9V battery; Jimmy's BBQ for supper. I get home and he asks me what took so long. I get to ask him why he didn't change Mason after nap. We are nowhere near even to my thinking.
So we eat and then watch Big Bang Theory (my husband doesn't see it but I see a lot of him in those guys; socially awkward) and How I Met Your Mother. No Monday is complete without watching these.
After those I was planning on doing the carpets. Didn't happen because Austin goaded me into playing Wii. Then it was time for some lovin bed. I wasn't in the mood to get back out bed to stay up late and do the carpets so here they sit this morning. Still dry and dirty and on my to-do list.
I have a million things to do today but knew I would be useless from stewing if I didn't get this off my chest. Sometimes I really think it would be easier to just put him in a highchair to keep him contained like I do Mason when I am trying to do something. I think he would throw a little more of a fit though. I warned him that the consequences today are death. I don't think he believed me. For some reason he never believes me when I use the 'good wife' voice.

A little older but no wiser...

We were watching TV last night and Austin says to me. 'He is really starting to look older.' I looked at him like 'No duh dumbass, where have you been the last 17 months.' Thankfully that isn't what came out of my mouth. I was so proud of myself, all I said was 'I know hard to believe it's only been 18 months.'
He looked at me suspiciously. I kept my cool though. I would have liked to have just blown at him but I realize that he is a guy and they are kinda stupid that way. Sometimes you just have to love their innocence.

Counting...

I have to count my forks. They keep breaking so I keep throwing them away and I don't know if we have enough for everybody.
Our plates and silverware came from Robin and Jeff when we got married. They got it for a wedding present so it is very old. At least in the way of cheap silverware.
I wouldn't mind having to buy new silverware. We should have replaced it long ago but we always had better things to spend our money on. Like groceries. Then you just get used to it and don't think about it anymore. Then we couldn't agree on a style. When you think about it this is the only silverware Austin has really ever known. I think I might just have to bite the bullet and buy some. He will just have to like or get used to whatever I pick out.
Sounds like a plan to me.

My weekend

Well we were ready to start painting on Sunday but we were just too tired. We worked really hard getting the last of the mudding done on Saturday and then sanding ALL day Sunday. Honestly it hurts to raise my arm to even brush my teeth. I am so proud of us.
Austin is putting up the primer today when he gets home from work and then tomorrow we are going to paint.
I now have to dust the whole house because it doesn't matter how careful you think you are when you are sanding. It gets everywhere. I do mean everywhere. I have so much to do before Thursday. Well actually Wednesday because I will be cooking all day on Wednesday so I won't be able to clean. Should be fun. Wish me luck!
On the good side Austin's mom is off work this week so I am going to coerce her into watching Mason this afternoon.
That was our weekend. It was literally spent in the bathroom. I am just so glad it is finally getting done. I am so ready to start hanging all my decorations back up and getting it really clean. I am so tired of the grungy construction bathroom. To be able to get my bathroom to smell of candles and bleach again. What a wonderful Christmas present. I know I'm weird. It's okay.
Well I'm off to get the house ready for Turkey day.

wii had a lot of fun

Yesterday being my birthday we went into town to go out to eat and to get our b-day/christmas present. No there isn't more than one of me!! Austin's b-day is in January so we usually decide on one big thing and combine our b-days and Christmas. This year he got to decide what we got. I think he made a good decision. Mind you I had no clue what it was until we got into Best Buy and he picked it up.
Next we went to eat. Mexican at La Carretas. Mason was good and ate also instead of retard people watching. We like going there. We have a 'usual'. Never did I think we would have a 'usual' somewhere. We have been going there for literally 6 years. We walk in, they take Mason and ask us if we are having the usual, we say yes, they bring me an iced tea, Austin a water with no ice, a milk for Mason and cheese dip for the chips. I always get the super burrito with an extra plate for Mason and Austin gets a #3 whatever that is. Some people get annoyed because we aren't there very long and we already have our food. They have just started to tell people that we call ahead. People can be so stupid. When Austin gets done with his plate they come over and ask if he wants the Fried Ice Cream or the Xango. Last night he got the Xango because he planned on sharing with me. He is sweet sometimes. I think we were in and out of there in under 45 minutes. We left home at 4 and got back home about 6:30. We are nothing if not efficient.
When we got home we watched Survivor, I was so glad to see Randy go, I couldn't believe how hard Sugar was laughing. Now they need to get rid of Kenny and Corinne, but that is a whole other subject.
So after Survivor we hooked up the wii and I kicked Austin's butt at bowling and boxing. Golf I didn't do so good, for 3 holes I was a +8. I did a lot better this morning I was a +1 on 9 holes. I couldn't believe my score last night I am actually good golf, at least when the girls are restrained properly. I really like golf. I always have, I just don't like to golf with Austin because he takes so long. Again a whole other subject.
So that is what we did last night. Nothing too exciting. I am actually surprised Austin waited so long to get the wii. I am sure he will play it a lot more than me especially when he finds out that you can download older Nintendo games.
Well I'm off to put another coat of mud on the bathroom. We don't have very much longer and it absolutely has to be done. I plan on painting on Sunday. That is the plan but whether or not that actually happens is another story.

Thanksgiving...

This year for Thanksgiving we are staying home and having friends over. Well friends and Austin's parents.
I decided that I didn't want to drive for 3+ hours to see my family for an hour. Luckily our friends felt the same way so we are all meeting at my house.
I love to cook so we are going all out. The only thing I am not making is the pies because Austin's mom wants to. That is just fine with me I don't especially like to make pie. Especially pumpkin pie.
I am really surprised that his parents decided to join us. I think they are even more antisocial than Austin. They say they don't like to come over when we have friends over because they feel as though they are intruding. Mind you, I am a sweet and wonderful daughter-in-law when they are around. Sweet and wonderful dammit!! So much so that it is just wrong, sometimes I am afraid my face will break. It really doesn't go with my personality.
We get together with our friends and their parents all the time. So it isn't like it is an unusual occurrence for one or more sets of parents to be at our gatherings. I think it is just something they will have to get over.
Thursday should be fun. Busy but fun. Austin has decided that we need to have turkey and ham. I think he just doesn't want everyone eating his turkey. Which is odd considering I have made 4 turkeys this year. This will be number 5, I figured he would be tired of it by now. I spoil him shamelessly. I really should stop. I guess it probably makes up for all my other... um... "good wife" behavior.
Now I just have to hope that Mason's black eye is gone by Thursday. Poor little kid is Austin's, that is for sure. So. I will set the scene. We were all in the kitchen and I was making supper. Austin, Mason and Hyde are all playing with a ball on the floor. I go to the fridge to get out the butter, it is one of those fridges that has the freezer on the bottom, so I had the door open and Mason gets up to chase the ball and runs right in to the corner of the fridge door. He cried a little bit but then got distracted when Hyde tried to run off with 'Mine', his bear. So his eye is to the ugly brownish greenish stage.
I realize that little kids get hurt and I wouldn't be afraid to take him to my any one of my family because they know things like this happen and aren't judgemental. They wouldn't ask where I was when it happened. Then look at me like I was the devil when I said right there beside him. So just to keep everyone happy on Thanksgiving I really hope it is gone. After all I am just the 'spoiled princess' who married her wonderful son.
It's alright I am laughing too. At least Princess Hateful Raquel isn't coming this year. I am afraid I won't be as fortunate come Christmas. She better not even think she is controlling Christmas this year. She might run her husbands families holidays but she has to remember I am the only daughter-in-law on this side and I run things. I can't wait for the fight that will ensue. It should be monumental because she wants to get together on Christmas at her parents house that is 3+ hours from where we are going to be. Can you tell I am excited just thinking about it. I really can't wait to show her who is boss exactly. I think it is about time to remind her that I always get what I want by being sweet and wonderful dammit!!
I know the holidays really bring out my... um... yeah... good side... yeah that is what it is called.

Today...

Today is my birthday. Normally I don't like my birthday. The whole getting older thing just doesn't agree with me. There have been some years that I have forgotten it was my birthday until later in the evening. I just have not put any special emphasis on this day.
This year was different though. It was just a feeling I guess. A couple of weeks ago I started to feel some anticipation for this day. I don't know why. It isn't like we were going to do anything special today. I wasn't and am still not anticipating a gift or anything special. So I am asking myself why all the anticipation. I still don't know why but am hoping it passes quickly.
Austin and I are going into town for an early supper and some shopping. I know your thinking it is for my birthday but it isn't. A couple of weeks ago I found out that Austin was going to have today and tomorrow off and it had been awhile since we had gone out so I told him we were going to. He thought it was for my birthday so he asked where we were going to go and what we were shopping for so I told him he could pick where we eat and that we were Christmas shopping. He looked at me like I was crazy. I don't know maybe I am crazy.
Which brings me to something confusing. Austin got me a birthday card. We have been married for almost 9 years and he has gotten me a card exactly 3 times now. He wrote my age wrong in it. You would think he would know how old I am. I am 17-12 and he wrote 17-13. So I of course pointed it out and he said it was a 2fer card. I get it this year but it also counts for next year. I will admit that was some pretty quick thinking on his part. It left me wondering just what he is wanting.
So now your wondering about the 17-12. Well, when I turned 17, I decided that I wasn't going to get any older. I figured 17 was as good as it got. Really I could drive and work but had no real responsibility. I think it works pretty good.
As soon as Austin gets home from what he is doing we are going to go into town and eat do a little Christmas shopping and buy some fish for our fish tank. I think those two little goldfish are getting lonely. I still haven't decided what kind of fish to put in it but I am sure Austin will have his own opinion as to what should go in there. I think I am looking forward to the pet store the most out of today. I told you I was crazy.

What did he call him?

Mason recently has been into renaming things and has decided to rename Hyde, Sid. The sad thing is that he actually comes to it. Mason loves to watch Sid, the Science Kid on IPTV in the mornings. It is so cute he tries to mimic him. I have no clue why he thought that Hyde needed to be named Sid but I guess whatever works.
For the longest time Austin couldn't figure out why Mason was calling the dog Sid. I finally had to explain it to him. He actually asked me why I didn't stop him. Um... because... he is one and doesn't care what I say. He wants it his way and only his way and I am sure he will grow out of it... eventually... I am sure of it.
Mason has started to call me Momma Rura. I am not a huge fan of this. Austin thinks it is hilarious. At least until Mason started to call him Papa Oney (Honey). I sure have got a lot of laughs out of it. I swear sometimes Austin has no sense of humor.

I have lost it...

Well it is only Tuesday night and so far this week I have lost 3 CDs full of photos, 2 bills I was to mail (they were Austin so I am not too worried), and a 20 dollar bill. I have no clue where they went. I searched and searched. I even looked in my car even though I wasn't in the car since Saturday. I looked in the freezer and in all the cabinets even behind the toilet and in the trash can. I have no clue what I did with them. I really am not usually so forgetful.
I think it has to do with my birthday on Thursday. You see it is not one that I am looking forward to. I used to think 30 was old but I have had to redo my thinking because every year I am one year closer to 30. I now think that 60 is old. I figure I am 32 years away from 60 so it is a good year to call old.

I'm really not surprised...

Monday is almost done and I feel as though I have got nothing accomplished.
Austin ended up not being home very much on Friday which was a good thing. We would have ended up arguing if he had been home.
The whole weekend went smooth. Very rare indeed. We both worked on the bathroom and hopefully we will be painting it next week. I guess I will rephrase that. We WILL BE painting it next week.
Austin has Thursday and Friday this week and I am really hoping that he has something to do that will keep him away from the house and out of my hair. It would be really great if he could take baby with him and let me have some quiet time. I know this won't happen but I can dream.
Well I didn't get anything done that I wanted to and now it is time to make supper. I think he will eat PB&J. I don't feel like cooking.

What am I going to do?

Austin is home all day Friday. I don't have enough stuff to keep him busy. He is going to put another coat of mud on the bathroom but that will only take at most an hour. I have no clue how I'm going to keep him busy and out of my hair.

Stupid Stupid Stupid

Well the stupid road graders were at it again this afternoon and after all the rain we have had lately the road is almost impassable. I think the County Engineer planned it. Naturally he is out of the office for the rest of the week. Stupid Coward. I can't believe he is afraid of a little old housewife.
I guess on the upside though is that the snakes are now in hiding for the winter.
I don't know what the big deal is with Austin but he has reminded me 3 times this week that my birthday is next Thursday. Like I didn't know that. I told him for my birthday I wanted him, baby and Hyde to leave for the weekend. Thankfully he knew I was joking. He said that he might be able to pull off getting Mason out of the house for the night. I think I might be a little closer to getting him trained because that is all I really want. A whole night alone with my husband. Preferably in a good mood but I will take what I can get. I think I am going to try to talk him into eating at the little Mexican place in town and renting a movie. I know real exciting stuff.
I saw Earl the Squirrel today. A sign that winter is coming. He raided my bird feeder. It was good to see him and somewhere this summer he picked up a little friend. I hope that means that we will have little baby squirrels this spring. There is nothing cuter than little baby squirrels. Austin would argue that point but I am entitled to my own opinion.

Shelving

This last Sunday Austin and I put up some shelving and we didn't argue or anything. He didn't even make a squeak when I told him I wanted to paint them red. Not just red but hormonal red.

I couldn't believe our teamwork/cooperation. No one lost a finger or anything. There was no unnecessary yelling. Very unusual for us. We were all done in about 4 hours. Best yet they cost us literally nothing. Everything was re-purposed. I think that is my favorite part.

The long black thing you see to the side is actually the level that I was using to hold up that support because I was not tall enough to reach it on even a chair and Austin was already on the ladder.

Before we put the supports in this was just empty useless space behind the door to the stairway across from the bathroom.

Here are the shelves in and unpainted. There is enough room under the bottom shelf for 2 stacked totes.

I left the blue painters tape up in some spots because those areas need a second coat. Now I have a designated spot for my laundry detergent and misc. My bath mats are in the plastic sack waiting for my bathroom to get done. The white little tote is for Austin's stuff. He was shocked when I showed him that he would only have that little tote out of all these shelves. He has been trying to convince me that he will need one entire shelf. I very calmly told him that he has whole shelving units in the garage that are empty. He was less than thrilled with me. I then had to explain to him that it is not my intention to just keep junk on these shelves. If we did that we wouldn't ever be able to find anything.

Clear up on the top some misc baby items that we no longer need, guest bed bedding, Austin's old toys that he doesn't want Mason to play with collectibles.

The next shelf has all my sewing material. Someday when I am able to find time to sew again I will finally get a couple of projects done. I know I will have to find the time somewhere in the next couple of weeks to get some curtains made for these shelves so that you can't see them from the kitchen. It wouldn't be so bad but we painted them to match the trim in the upstairs not the trim in the kitchen. Hind sight is 20/20 I guess.

The 3rd shelf down is pantry. My kitchen cabinet shelves are not tall enough for a box of cereal so I have designated this shelf for cereal and whatever other pantry items I want to put on it. I will also be putting some of my PartyLite stuff on it. The Global Fusion Hurricane usually sits on my dining room table but I have my fall centerpiece out now and next month I will have a Christmas one out. Eventually I will get my stuff organized into totes and put below the bottom shelf but I will have to do that on a day that Mason is spending over at the grandparents because he is just too much help.

As of right now the bottom two shelves have no designated purpose and I'm sure that Austin will fill them with junk. As long as he knows that anything that spills out of his tote can be thrown away at any time he can put whatever he wants on them. I have learned that he needs to be aware of his boundaries and reminded often.

Every Little Boy Needs...

an indoor play area!!

I just wish my son hadn't picked this one.

Mason kept himself occupied for over an hour playing in this plant. He made a little mess but cleaned it up himself. It was so cute watching him try to pick up all the little pieces of dirt.

Tuesday Really Already??

Halloween morning Mason and I got up and started getting ready to go to Grandma Shirley's for trick or treating. I had Mason's costume all ready. I wasn't able to find what I wanted so I had Cammie pick up a ducky in size 3T. I wanted to be sure it would fit.
Marianne called and had me bring down a couple of other costumes that had been handed down to me from all the nephews over the years because she couldn't decide what she wanted Hunter to be. I am really glad she did because Mason's costume that Cammie picked up was too little.
There is no way it was actually a 3T considering it fit my cousins little boy who is 11 months. I was less than thrilled. Mason ended up being a green dinosaur instead and wouldn't keep his hood up.

Morgan trying to get Mason into his too small costume.

Mason was not thrilled.

We get all ready to go trick or treating and Mason decides that he would rather stay inside and play with this semi. I had to carry him kicking and screaming outside.

He was okay once he realized that he got to ride in the wagon. He was so excited!

Most of the parents. I got yelled at for taking this picture. Supposedly I was to give warning. I tried that and all I got was a bunch of fingers and backs.

This house was awesome.
They gave away free cans of pop and had a claw machine that you could actually win stuff out of.

I don't think the neighbors were too thrilled they were all across the street complaining.
It made me really glad that I live in the country and don't have to worry about neighbors.




This creepy clown followed us all over the neighborhood.
I think he just scaring my cousin Jessica. I can't believe she is still afraid of clowns.

Donnie filling my phone with dirty picture messages.

Somehow Hunter got a coke. His first one ever and Marianne was less than thrilled, especially when she found out it was by her husband.

Hunter didn't want to share his Coke so he gave Mason a Capri Sun.

I have no clue what they were tempting my son with but he was excited.

It really could have been anything shinny he is his fathers after all. I know my good wife side is coming out.

We finally made it to Mom's about 11:30 or so. After Isaac got sick all over Grandma's carpet and couch. We still have no idea what made him sick. He hadn't eaten any candy and I can attest to that. I have my suspicions that it was just excitement. Cammie called me from the interstate saying that he also threw up all over the backseat and wanted me to follow her into Glenwood to get him some 7-UP. She is lucky she caught me because I was right at that exit and had to pull over anyways otherwise I would have dropped her call. Stupid cell phones and all.

When I finally made it to Mom's I had to wait for her to get there to help me carry stuff in. I don't know how she got so far behind us considering we all left at the same time and Cammie and I stopped in Glenwood. Sometimes I wonder about her.

Saturday and Sunday we spent over at Mom and Dads doing nothing. Marianne came down Saturday and brought the boys. I was little surprised to see her again so soon because they had been at Grandmas the night before. Evidently Jesse was hunting and she didn't want to sit at home all day with the boys alone. I can't really say as that I blame her. Her boys are naughty. I had to resist the urge to put a blindfold on Mason the whole day. He did pick up a couple of things while we were there but they weren't the bad things. I sure Austin would be thrilled if they had been bad.

Uncle Guy Guy (my brother Donnie Guy) feeding Mason cheese puffs.

Morgan and Mason. I think it is really scary how much they look alike.

I have photos of Morgan at Masons age and the only way you can tell them apart is by the dress Morgan is wearing.

Mason will not ask for food. He stands beside you and looks innocent until you give him some.

This is almost the look he gives you when he wants some of what your eating.

Really who could resist such a cute little face.

He thought it was fun for Morgan to push him around the yard in this car.

I don't think Morgan agreed.

Mason didn't want to share. He was rather upset that Isaac was in the wagon.

Mason and I went over to the Great-Grandparents house on Monday and Tuesday for the bulk of the days because everyone else works. They love to see him. Even when he is really naughty. Lately he has been liking to take the couch cushions off and run up and down the couch. By the time we get ready to leave he is wore out and the house is a wreck. That is how they want it and Mason generally doesn't get into trouble when we are there. Well unless what he does is really bad because Grandma doesn't like to see him cry. I'm not one to argue with an almost 80 year-old woman so he gets away with a lot.

Wednesday we headed back up to my Grandma Shirley's. My cousin Jessica was having a Home Interior party. Mom, Marianne and Cameron were to go with us but Cameron was sick with sinus infection and the wind was blowing really hard and so Marianne didn't want to drive the 45 minutes into town. Mom was up there to pick up Dad because he totalled his van by hitting a deer Monday morning on the way to work but the weather was getting bad, it was starting to rain, and they had some errands to run before they could go home so she didn't stay. They were delayed in going home a little bit because of a tornado warning for Fremont County but they made it home safely.

Grandma, Mason and I made it the 4 houses to Jessica's by car because it was still raining and Grandma had just got her hair done the night before. Grandma has gotten her hair done once a week since she was 17. I think the only thing that has changed is the color.

Jessica had a pretty good turnout. Especially considering how horrible the weather was. I got the cutest little sunflower plaques to put in my bathroom when it is completed. Which had better be by the 7th of December because I am having a PartyLite show here at the house and I still don't have everything I got last time hung up. There is no way I would try to put out all my PartyLite stuff because it would look hodgepodge with the variety of stuff but I do want to get out the pieces that I like. I have most of it put away so that Mason doesn't break it. I figure the bulk of it will stay put away until he leaves for college in 17 years.

After her party Jessie came down and we ordered Chinese and rented Baby Mama.

Thursday morning came way too fast. My Aunt Cheryl came over for pancakes and gossip. When she finally left Grandma's, we made our way to JCPenny so that I could get my bath mats with my birthday money and Grandma's discount. I ended up getting really really nice mats for less than I would have paid at Wal-Mart. Austin was surprised and didn't believe me until I showed him the receipt. I don't know why he doubted me.

Mason and I finally got out of Council Bluffs about 2. Traffic was moving smoothly and we actually beat Austin home, I couldn't believe it. That hasn't happened very many times.

Monday Already??

Mason and I have had a busy couple of weeks. I doubt that I will get an update done in just one post so here is the first weekend...

Saturday, October 25th Mason and I got up really early and went to down home for a baby shower. Cassie was beautiful and glowing. I swear it looked like she had cut a basketball in half and taped it under her shirt.

Austin didn't drive down with us because he was laying the tile in the bathroom. Which looks great.

He did drive down later that morning and met up with us over at his grandparents house. Later that afternoon Mason, Austin, me and Austin's grandparents went to the Tabor Fire & Rescue Halloween Fundraiser. I couldn't say too much about what they had for dinner but I didn't pay so I won't complain.

Grandma and Grandpa like to go to see the costumes people wear. They also like to stay kinda late to see the crazy drunk people in costumes. Mason had a great time walking around all the tables trying to steal the older peoples canes and walkers. Mason finally fell asleep listening to Josh Heard sing. It was so cute he was clapping and everything. Austin, Mason and his grandparents left about 9:30. I however did not. Austin didn't want to stand around and talk to people he didn't know and truthfully I didn't want him there. I can't smoke when he is around. Don't get me wrong it would have been fine if he would have stayed I just wouldn't have had as much fun. I got back to his grandparents house at 3 in the morning.

Sarah and Phil. The Barmaid and the Beer Stein.

There are no words to describe Sarah. She is something else.

A drunk redneck tooth fairy.

If you look real close those are actually white stirrup pants he is wearing. I did ask if those were a special purchase or if he already had those on hand and he told me he would let me know later. He wasn't drunk enough to say yet. He never did get drunk enough because I never did find out. Last year he was a stripper pole but says he doesn't remember much of the night.

My sister, Cameron, an Angel my butt!! I don't know any other angels that smoke like a train and drink like a fish. She really should have dressed up as the devil. That fits her personality better. More like perfectly. She is a rather tenacious. I know some people that know are now wondering why I would describe her as tenacious. A single mother of two little boys, she rather has to be.

I didn't get photos of all the costumes but there was Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends, a Pregnant Prom Queen, A Milk Man, A pregnant housewife (who came with the milk man), a desperate housewife, a couple slutty sailor girls, three fat sumo ladies in bikinis, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, Wayne of Wayne's World, and the typical assortment of Halloween costumes. Don't worry I wasn't dressed up. NO WAY!! I was a respectable adult this year.

After sneaking into the grandparents house at around 3, morning came awful quick. My eyes felt like sandpaper and I felt like I had swallowed a beer bottle. I could hardly speak from yelling all night. It was a great night.

Austin left to go home after lunch while Mason and I went over to my mom and dad's for awhile. After a nice chat Mason and I headed towards home. My sister Marianne lives about half way so we stopped in for supper.

We finally arrived home about 10. I think Austin was just surprised it was before noon. Thus ending that weekend.

We didn't do too much during the week. We cleaned and organized did a bunch of laundry and got things ready for the cold weather. That was hard to do with the temp in the 70's but we got it done so that now that it is cold out we don't have to worry about it.

Snow!!

We got a little dusting of snow today! I am not ready for snow yet but am excited for our first actual snowfall. I got Mason the cutest little sled that you strap him in and I cannot wait to try it out.
Fortunately today's snow was just a light little dusting and barely stuck to the grass.
