ACK!!! My website is officially down! My luck……the site got transferred over the holidays and I can not have it updated until Monday! So I am hoping no one goes to my website because they will get a blank icky going nowhere page! But in the meantime….the blog is still live…although that will also be getting updated shortly! AND here is a darling little cutie that you will see on my splash page once my site gets back up and running! I could take pictures of this little ham ALL DAY LONG! Isn’t he gorgeous!?!?! I think so…….

Happy Friday! Phew! It’s been a long week! Glad to see the weekend arrive finally!

Just one of our beauty today……our little “Santa Baby”……I hope you have a great weekend!!!

Rookie mistake????

This is the first year that I have decided that it is just plain out cruel to wrap presents a week or more before Christmas. Last night we finally got our tree decorated and after the kids went to bed, I really got into the Christmas spirit and was up until midnight wrapping presents. This morning I was sitting in my office and my son came in with eyes the size of quarters and with such AWE, he said, “Santa came last night!” He had seen all the wrapped presents. He proceeded to sit under the tree and stare at all of them trying to find his name on just ONE of them! I tried to explain that those were for his daddy, cousins, grandma’s and grandpa’s, etc….I thought he might have understood. He did for a short while this morning…..proceeded to get dressed for preschool…..and out the door we went.

This afternoon upon arriving home, he saw the presents again and wanted to know if any were for him…..I told him I thought one was for him, but mommy still had some wrapping to do. In the middle of typing this post, he ran into the office with sparkly eyes and said, “Thank you mom! You got me a coffee mug!”……oh crap. He could not resist and opened one that had his name on it……what he didn’t read was the “To: Daddy” part….he just saw the “Love: Owen” part. He must have forgot we bought that for daddy last week! Uh….yeah…Ryan was in the office too……..Merry Christmas EARLY Daddy! So Owen and I had a little talk….both of us almost in tears…I tried my best to explain that he had to wait for Christmas….and he cried, “But my name was on it!”…..I told him he still had to wait….to which he replied, “I just can’t wait that long!!!!!”

Sigh……ANOTHER rookie mistake I have made as a mom…..I remember how tough it was to wait now that I look back. The presents sparkling under the tree just taunting you to open them! Whether they were yours or not….they HAD to be opened! A seasoned mom would know this….but it either flew over my head….or I was so naive about the whole thing. Either way, my heart went out to my sweet little angel bug….I am so sorry you didn’t understand son. But don’t worry…..Christmas will be here soon enough!!!

No happy smiles today from The Big “O”…….so I am going to share one from last week….BEFORE there were presents under the tree…….

Just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU!!! to all my new facebook fans! 95 and counting! Woo Hoo!!!! Hoping to reach 100 by the end of the year! I really appreciate your support!!! Hope your day is going great!

SSSSHHHHH!!!! Don’t wake the Princess!

This morning we were running late (as usual) and sissy was still asleep…..so I called to her from the kitchen…..”Time to wake up Bella! Get out of bed please!”……no response……so I sent her brother over to go open her door and tell her that it was time to get up……so he did and still no response……so I marched over towards her room and half way there I heard heavy stomping…..and out came the Princess from her room…..hair going every which way…..a scowl on her face…..hands on her hips…..and she immediately barked at me…..”Hey! What’s the big idea?!?!……I didn’t get enough rest!”

WHAT? Is this what the upcoming years are going to be like? I have a feeling much worse….especially since she is showing signs of her mama when woken up too early! YIKES! Sorry Princess Bella for waking you up…..but when you go to bed late (10:00!) then you are tired the next morning!

This one is not a scowly, you woke me up too early face……but a what the heck, deer in headlights face that makes me laugh! Perfect for my day of trying to get my new website transferred over to my new hosting company…..what the heck?!?!?! I never knew it would be such a confusing mess!!!!

Hope your snowy day is going great!!!
