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!!

Hanging up lights

This afternoon we hung...I mean Matt hung up the lights outside. He did a marvelous job!! (yes, he reads this.) The neighbors were harassing us because last year we had them up by now. All we need now is our tree....that will be a fight! I want a fir tree and my forestry major hubby wants a spruce tree. I don't really care for the spruce. I think we are going to get it tomorrow...so we shall see who wears the pants in this family!!! ;)

The days after...

Well, it's taken me a while to post because I can't reach the keyboard over my big belly!!! Oh my gosh! I have eaten WAY too much food and I just can't stop!!! AGH!! I just eat, eat, eat...even when I'm not hungry!! Oh my! So I've probably put on all the weight I took off after having Andrew...and then some! That's it....no more food till Christmas!!!

I did not fight everyone and their grandmother at the stores either. I've seen the news...pushing, fighting, peoples wigs falling off. It's crazy! What's this world coming to? I mean, is it worth it? I know when I go to WalMart and it's packed I get very annoyed and in a bad mood. Why would you want to be like that before Christmas? Not me. I just sit at home and watch the news. Luckily, I am done with my Christmas shopping...well, I still have Matt, but he's easy.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I have a lot to be thankful for this year as every year. We did our turkey dinner last night because we were sent some stuff from Honey Baked Ham. Which was delicious! We ate it last night because today we are going to some friends. I love not having to cook a turkey!! Anywho, Andrew had fun playing in my dinner last night. Kinda gross..I know, but when I pulled him out of it he cried! He enjoyed himself.

A day at the park

It was such a beautiful day today that we decided to go to the park in our neighborhood. It was Andrew's first time there so we had to take pics. :) Enjoy!!!

My favorite times of the day

Well I was going to title this my favorite time of the day but realized there's more than just one time.

The mornings...I love the mornings with Andrew. (Matt's usually at work or I would include him.) When he wakes up he is talking and giggling in bed. If it's cold I go get him and bring him back to my bed. He will eat and just lay in bed with me for a couple of hours. It's so great. We usually just stay in bed an hour because my neighbor will usually call to walk and then reality sets in...that I have other things to do than just stay in bed all day.

I love the afternoons because Matt gets home at 3 ( I know...barf!) and this is when Andrew is most playful. I also love to watch Andrew and Matt play. They are so cute together.

And my last favorite time is... BATH TIME!!! There are days I think I am more wet than Andrew who is actually in the tub! He LOVES the bath and it's just precious!! He kicks, splashes, giggles, and always grins that cute grin showing all his gums! It's fun times!!!

The big 3-0!!

Today is Matt's birthday. hehehe!! He is turning 30. I laugh because it's about time he caught up with me. Everyday after my birthday I have to hear how I am older than he is. I just tell him I am older and wiser! He got his birthday present ealier this month so he has no surprises today....when I buy an early birthday present I still expect presents on my bday...I'm such a brat! So I have decided to do some major cleaning!! Sounds like I have a dirty house! :) Well, I just never fully unpacked and haven't caught up on wash since we have been home. I have caught up on my sleep tho. :) Guess I should finish up while Andrew is sleeping.....what a life!!

Go to bed sleepy head!

Well for some reason Andrew is fighting going to bed tonight. He usually goes down at 7:30 and sleeps till 8:00, but not tonight! He went down at 7 and woke up at 7:45. Guess he thought he would take a little nap. I don't think so little guy!!! So while he's crying I'm here blogging! Some mom I am. Well, I've tried everything else! Don't judge me. I have cried plenty of days and look how I turned out! :) PERFECT!!! JK I can't focus with him fussing....which could also be because he had his 4 month shots yesterday. :( He did NOT like that one bit and has been fussy ever since. So off I go to tend to him.
