friday night

It's funny how when I was younger I HAD to have plans on Friday night! Now that I'm older...I really don't care!! Call me a grandma! I see my friends during the week, so it's not like we have to get together every weekend. All that being said... we were all invited over to a party tonight. I was quick to turn the offer down as I wanted to work in my scrapbook. Matt, on the other hand, was quick to say he would go! So I've been doing my own thing tonight. Once Andrew went to bed at 6:45...I hit the books!! I didn't realize how far behind my scrapbook was!! YIKES! I haven't updated it in 4 months. Where does the time go? A part of me thinks maybe I shouldn't take as many pictures!!...that would help cut out on all the scrapping'! Oh well! So my house will be in shambles for a week until I get caught up. It's definitely worth it though!

Back to Matt leaving me for the night....I really think it's healthy for husbands and wives to do their own things once in a while. I have a friend who won't let her husband do anything without her!! Matt will want to do something with her husband and then I end up having to go too because his wife is going!! Drives me crazy!! Am I wrong? Should I do everything Matt does? Some of you have been married longer than I have....what do you think??? Do we need marriage counseling? :P

I'm off to bed...this grandma has been up way past her bedtime!

lunch

There isn't really much to report around here. I went to lunch with some teacher friends today that are out on break. I hadn't seen them since November. One of the girls brought her daughter and all she wanted to do was hold Andrew. She wouldn't let anyone else hold him. It was funny. It was good to catch up on everyone and visit. However, they keep bugging me to come back. Maybe I should tell them if the money is right!!...nah, that wouldn't make me want to go back either!

this is for jessica

bumper pads

Why do they say you need to take the bumper pad out of the crib? I mean I've researched it, but I just don't get it. I really don't think he will suffocate from it. His face is never in it. I know if he stepped on it to climb out of the crib...it wouldn't work. It pushes way down. So really...why do you have to take it out? Am I missing something? I hate to take it out because he rolls all around and I know he will bump his head. Advice please....

best buds

Andrew had a friend come over today. I know what you're thinking...can he even play? Well, they did! My friend Dawn has a boy who is almost a month older than Andrew. We had lunch while the boys played. It was funny because Gavin would crawl on Andrew and Andrew had this look on his face like...what the heck?! Gavin would have a toy he was chewing on and Andrew would crawl up and take it from him....is my child going to be one of "those kids" who can't share? I sure hope not!!! They stayed for a couple of hours and we had a fun time!! Both boys will probably be taking a long nap today. They just played too hard!!

Can I just add that I do know how to type! For some reason when I publish my post it only puts one space after the period or exclamation point and not two.

random stuff

Not much has been going on here. Just keeping my eyes on speedy now that he's crawling. He's keeping me busy, but I'm loving every minute of it!!

I had lunch with some friends yesterday. One being the "friend" who is going back to work. I am going to be keeping her baby on Wednesdays starting in two weeks. I feel sorry for her because she is not looking forward to going back to work at all. Frankly..I don't blame her!!

My friend with the twins is doing much better!! Her liver and kidney were weak, but she is doing great now. An answered prayer! I was really worried about her. When I saw her on Sunday she did not look good. Her husband called me today because they were going home and he needed help with the car seats. The hospital let them borrow some car seats because the babies are under 5 pounds and have to have a special seat. So Matt and I ran up there to help him get them in the car.

Funny thing...the secretary from my old school emailed me today asking if I wanted to come back to work next year in the office. I had to laugh! Today I was outside with Andrew helping Matt plant flowers...okay, I was watching him plant them...and I was thinking how lucky I am to be able to stay home. Then I got that email...what a coincidence!


Guess I had more to say than I thought. Oh well!! Hope you enjoyed the pictures of Andrew!

babies, family, & crawling

What a fun weekend we had!!! It started off with my friend having her babies!! I'm so excited for them. They had been trying for a couple of years and are finally pregnant with twins. My friend isn't doing so well. They are watching her closely and the babies are doing great. I didn't get to see them as they are in NICU, but she showed me some pictures....they are precious!

Matt's parents and sister came in this weekend. We had a nice visit with them...basically just shopped and watched Andrew! They were originally going to stay two nights, but ended up only staying one.

We hated Matt's parents left early because they missed Andrew CRAWLING! He's been trying to crawl for a while, but actually took off tonight!! I'm so excited for him! He was getting pretty frustrated. It just hit me though that now he will be moved to the crawlers room at church. :( He's normally in the nursery and they spoil him!! Maybe he won't show off for them any time soon!!

procrastinating

I totally need to finish cleaning the house but I thought I'd take a break and blog. I'm so A.D.D. when I clean and take waaay too many breaks....I do get the job done though. It just takes me longer than it should. Plus Matt is home all day so I can't focus on cleaning....we'd rather play with Andrew.

I've decided if you don't like the way my blog looks...TOO BAD!!! I like it and was ready for a change. Sorry!! I can't please everyone!!

Okay...need to get back to work. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

new!!

I am working on changing my background/template up. Any suggestions? Is it hard to read? I've been staring at the computer for a while so I'm not sure if it's just me. Feel free to leave your opinion!!! :)
