Today we seem to be back in full swing! After some holidays and days off...we are full again today for daycare! Anthony has been beside himself all morning as each of his friends showed up all morning!! Luckily everyone is down for naptime right now.
There has been a lot going on in both of our families lately. The Pilchards' family dog, Max, passed away yesterday shortly after having surgery. I know they all will miss Max dearly.
Then yesterday morning my Aunt fell and broke her hip. this was a huge surprise because shes only 50 and just tripped over so e stuff and fell. I feel awful for her and we are all thinking of her as she has surgery this morning!! hopefully she'll be on the mend asap!
So, now Travis, Anthony and I are just trying to stay healthy and safe!! it seems like a lot has happened over the past few weeks that has really made us appreciate everything and everyone we have been blessed with, and I hope anyone reading this takes a minute to be thankful for all the good things in their life!!!
On that note, I'm off to try to get some reading done during naptime!
May God bless you with Life, Love and Laughter...

Snomagedden!
well, the blizzard has arrived here in Bloomington! its snowing like crazy and blowing even worse! Travis just left to start plowing, who knows when I'll see him again ;). Anthony and I are enjoying our snow day while wondering if it'll turn into snowdayS!! I absolutely cannot wait to take him out in the snow to play for the first time. Hopefully that'll happen this weekend. Every time it's snowed this winter he has been sick :(
I plan to post pictures of the progression of the storm... I'm curious to see how this all turns out!

things on thursday
ok, back on schedule.
1. i'm so looking forward to an entire weekend of nothing to do!
2. I've started watching 'How I Met Your Mother' and Now I'm hooked.
3. they've stared packaging Hydrogen Peroxide in spray bottles, which is very handy because peroxide happens to be a very good way to clean up dog pee
4. apparently chex is a hit with the kids, green pappers - not so much
5. I'm only doing 5 tonight because I just did the full 10 on Monday!!!

Things on Thursday...on Monday ;)
ok, so its been 1 week and I'm already slacking...sorry!
1. on Thursday my little brother, Chris, had surgery to deal with some kidney stones...everything went perfectly, and I am beyond grateful to his doctors...so much so that it is bringing tears to my eyes right now.
2. I have NEVER had such chapped.ips as I do right now...anyone have a suggestion on how to heal them? I've been using chopstick and neosporin, but I still look like Angilina Jolie!
3. I lost 3 pounds last week! it's always great to be successful the first week of a diet!
4. I LOVE the lint fluffy snow we got last night! <3
5. I am so excited that everyone seemed to love the lasagna I made for dinner last night! i think its the Italian in me :) and the best compliment was that my nephew, Hayden, ate every last bite...his dad said that's the most he's seen him eat in MONTHS!
6. Even though I know it's hard on his crib, I think its funny that Anthony will lay on his back and kick the heck out of his crib railings
7. I got my Cricut Expression and Design Studio on Saturday! I'm dying to get downstairs and lock myself in my room and scrapbook!!!
8. Rit now I'm watching Kathy Lee & Hoda on the 4th hours of Today, these two crack me up.
9. I "joined" caloriecounter.com and, apparently, it helps with weight loss. I think its just the accountability of writing down everything you eat.
10. I'm really proud of myself for getting up off the couch yesterday afternoon to put laundry away, I told myself "you'll be glad it's done tonight when you want to go to bed!" - and it worked!

recovered...
Wow! what a couple of days we've had around here! I woke up in the middle of the night Thursday with the flu, then Anthony had it by the time I got him up :(. Luckily we are all better today.
after a day of cleaning, scrubbing, spraying and soaking every inch of every thing we touched since Wednesday....I am hoping we have every last germ out of here! just in time for work tomorrow.
I have to say a special thank you to Steph Reeser and Mom2 (Pilchard) for all their help! Not to mention my sweet hubby that took Friday off of work to take care of the two of us sicklings!
so now back to the real world... recovered!
oh, and by the way, the quiche wasn't any good...and we won't be eating quiche for a while.... even though its not what MADE me sick...I've had enough for a while ;)

Things on Thursday
A friend of mine does a "Ten on Tuesday" post to her family blog -every Tuesday (duh!) I always enjoy reading the ten things she's thankful for, thinking about or just pondering... so I'm going to try it too, but on Thursdays!
1. Today is a light load for me, only one baby other than Anthony! that is always nice, I love laying on the floor playing blocks!
2. it means so much more than I thought it would that my son, at only 13 months old, is so sweet and kind. He gives hugs and kisses and is amazing with the 11 week old baby I watch. This morning -first thing- Anthony gave Caden a big hug! <3
3. I'm going to try making a Quiche for dinner tonight...I'll let you know if that's a good or bad thing ;)
4. I'm hoping to get Anthony out in the snow this weekend...for the first time
5. The same friend that gave me the idea for this post suggests a 3:1 mixture of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spritz your windshield at night and you won't have ice in the morning! I haven't tried it yet, but plan to :)
6. I am a little addicted to Walmart, I'm pretty sure anthony thinks it is his second home!
7. I'm also addicted to watching Days of Our Lives...regardless of how stupid it gets...I can't stop watching...WHY?!
8. I think it's hilarious that if you hang out at our house for a little bit you'll inevitably have a bucket put on your head at some point :)
9.I'm so excited to go scrapbooking this Saturday...a whole day of scrapping is loooong overdue
10. I miss a lot of my family that live up north...I don't miss "up north" though ;)
