My AWESOME friends!

I've had a great, busy, crazy day. The to-do lists were long, but everything got crossed off and oh what a great feeling that is. We are leaving tomorrow for vacation and everything is pretty much ready. But let me just tell you about my AWESOME friends. I have had so many calls today wishing us a good vacation, friends calling to see if there was anything they could do to help me out today, neighbors asking to help with mail, paper, etc. These people are AWESOME and I am feeling the LOVE.

Check out what Princess and Pinky brought over!!



I don't know who is more excited, them or us! Thanks girls for ALL the goodies! Andy loved the undies.
I'll try to blog while we are there, (for my 2 readers) but no promises!
See ya all soon!

How a 3 year old thinks!

During the colder months on Sunday evenings Andy goes to bible study. I LOVE that he is involved in a bible study, but the day and time of the study are not my favorite. In my opinion, Sunday evenings at 6:00 should be family time. Anyway, we usually do a quick family dinner, and then the kids and I get baths, jammies, and all our get-ready-for-Monday chores done before we settle in to watch ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition. We love to watch them demolish the old house and rebuild a brand new one. I love seeing the layout and decor of the new house, but most of all, I LOVE to hear the stories of the families who really need the help. They have done some beautiful houses and changed the lives of so many people. I usually get a little chocked up by the end of the show. If you don't know the show, the basic idea is that, the family goes on vacation (the last few shows we have seen, the family is going to Disney) and when they get back, they have a new house. There is always a big bus blocking their view and then they all say "Bus driver, Move That Bus!"

Knowing that background, and knowing our upcoming trip to Disney, Max starting talking about something earlier this week and I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. I have to admit I wasn't paying attention to him completely the first time he brought this up, but then I figured it out. This is what he said.

"Hey mom, when we get back from Disney, do we get to say 'Move that bus' and then we'll have a new house?"

I wish it were that easy!

Do you drink too much coffee??

This morning, like every weekday morning, I wake up to a local talk radio station. This would not be my first pick of radio stations to wake up to, but Andy LOVES talk radio and if it helps him to get up and get going I'm all for it. I do have to admit that I think maybe I'm starting to like talk radio too. It's nice to hear the traffic report that I don't have to worry about. It's nice to hear what's going on in the world, since Disney Channel is the only "news" I get around here. I also love to hear the weather, knowing how to dress the kiddos is always a helpful tool in the morning. The more I listen, the funnier these guys get, I was actually laughing this morning.

This morning I heard them give their top 10 ways to know:

You Drink Too Much Coffee

• You answer the door before people knock.

• You’re the employee of the month at the local coffeehouse and you don’t even work there.

• You can type sixty words per minute ... with your feet.

• You don’t sweat, you percolate.

• You’ve worn out the handle on your favorite mug.

• You go to AA meetings just for the free coffee.

• Instant coffee takes too long.

• When someone says. “How are you?”, you say, “Good to the last drop.”

• You want to be cremated just so you can spend the rest of eternity in a coffee can.

And this one was my favorite:

• You have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought these were cute. It was a great way to start the day!
