Um..

With nothing new going on it's made me not post! We had a busy weekend with Christmas parties and birthday parties last weekend, but nothing really exciting happened. The only exciting thing was Matt's brother was in town the beginning of this week. It was good to hang out with him. Matt worked some so we had some good bonding time. He's home now.

Matt's off today and we are going to take Andrew up to see Santa! I'm so excited!! I am anxious to see what his reaction will be. If it's anything like mine at that age...he'll cry. I am determined to take my own picture because the cheapest package is $16 and I don't think that's cheap. I just want one picture! So we will see. I might get kicked out of the mall. Need to get going. I'll post a picture later with Santa if I can take my own.

Big boy

Since everyone likes looking at pictures I figure I will put another one on here!...I know, all my pics are of my husband and child. What more do you want? I really have nothing else to blog about...I don't get out much. :)
So, my little man has been pushing up and I figured I would share with everyone. He thinks he's big stuff now. When I put him in his bed he does this and then about 5 mins. later he'll be on his back making noises for me to come flip him over....hasn't quite got the rolling from back to front down yet.

Okay, I want to do a poll on who you think Andrew looks like. Me? :) ...or Matt :( Leave me your comments. Go back and look at past pictures I have posted...not just this one b/c I think he kinda looks like...well, I don't want to persuade your vote!

Could have been a disaster!

Yesterday afternoon I walked out in the front sitting room and the Christmas tree was LEANING at a 15 degree angle!!! So I think...should I mess with it? Nah, I will probably end up with it on the floor! I call Matt at work and he was like...DON'T TOUCH IT!! I think he envisioned me on the floor with the tree on top of me had I done anything. I was SO worried it was going to come crashing down at any moment! I kept going back out there to look and luckily it was still standing (somewhat.) When Matt got home he thought it was funny...until he tried to get it to stand back up! He finally fixed it....using string! Hopefully the string will hold till Christmas morning! HA
Matt thinks that he's going to build his stand for next year! MEN!

Santa's little helper

We tried to take Christmas pictures tonight and Andrew was not very cooperative. We tried a family shot, but Andrew was too busy eating his shirt and not looking at the camera. I tried some with just him and that wasn't too good either...he's either drooling, blowing his cheeks out, or looking off in space. It was a lot easier last year. Of course next year I will probably be chasing him around the house with the camera! Does it ever get easier?

Just one of those days!

So you know how some days you don't know where your mind is?... well, I had one of those days today. I don't really know why, but here it goes...I was writing some thank you notes (Megan Strain inspired me to do them as soon as I get the gift) and figured Andrew and I would walk them down to the mailbox. (Our mailbox is in a joint one at the end of the street...don't know why but that's the thing here...maybe we have lazy mailmen here or something.) So we take the letters down and when we got back I started to clean the table off and noticed a thank you note that I had written and THOUGHT I mailed but obviously hadn't! I'm such a dork! I totally addressed the envelope and thought I had put the card in the envelope and I hadn't!! I couldn't get the letter out of the mailbox because it's one of those where you can only put something and not get anything out! So I felt like the biggest dork because now this person was going to get an empty envelope from me!! Luckily!...Matt and I went walking and when we got back home the mailman was delivering the mail. So I went down there and explained what a goofball I am and she gave me back the empty envelope! I have learned my lesson...I will always check the envelope before I mail it. Oh..and I tell Matt this story...so what does he say?...you wasted a stamp! Thanks Matthew!

Too much time on my hands!

Thursday I went up to my old school to visit with some friends. They gave me a hard time for having a blog...yet they read it all the time!! (so basically they have too much time on THEIR hands!) They have realized that I have too much time on my hands being home with a little one. Now my child is by no means neglected because of my blogging!...if anything I spoil that boy!! It won't be long and Matt will catch on to how much Andrew sleeps and he will start expecting more out of me than blogs. :) I can't help it that Andrew sleeps all day and night. I'm afraid to have another one because I'm afraid it will be the complete opposite of Andrew and right now I have it easy! I've heard people say they are ready to go back to work after 6 weeks of having a little one...not me! This is the BEST job I've ever had and don't think I will ever be ready to go back to a "job."
Oh...the tree will be getting decorated tonight!!!

O Christmas Tree!!

We have had our tree for two days now and it still sits bare!!! Pretty sad! We just haven't had time to decorate it. Well, I have during the day, but I HATE putting the lights on by myself so I am waiting on Matt to help. We haven't been home at night to do it so hopefully it will get done this weekend. Tonight we went over to a friends house and their tree was all decorated. Andrew didn't know what to think. He's probably wondering why our tree doesn't sparkle like their tree did.

Just have to show off!

Here's our little cutie patootie! (however you spell it) This is what he did while daddy put the tree on the stand and I directed daddy on which way it was leaning. Every year Matt battles with the tree stand....but that's a whole other blog in itself!
Oh...and yeah, Andrew needed a bib on! drool boy!

Well...

I know everyone is dying to know...well I won!!! We got a fir tree!! I've married a smart man. He doesn't want to listen to me whine all night if we hadn't gotten it. Now it just needs to be decorated. I think that will happen tomorrow night. We have too much going on....dinner, wash, and dishes! Poor Andrew..we were running around all day today that he hardly got a good nap in. He was sooo tired that he just fell asleep on the floor. Too cute!!
