PRODUCTIVE DAY

Today has been really productive.  Since I couldn't sleep from pure excitement about the fact I was starting a new blog, I  spent most of the night looking for ways to personalize my blog page.  I really could get lost in all the new graphics and gadgets available.  I absolutely loved it.  So, needless to say, I am exhausted today.  Still  yet, I managed to get laundry done, both kids down for a nap (thats good for a 3 and 4 year old to still take naps)  Can I get an AMEN?  Bite my tounge now, I am sure i just jinxed it forever now!  At any rate, I also was able to get my floors mopped which is  a huge feat, since I have two grown men in the house who love to track dirt in from our back yard, a little beagle who loves to shed hair, and the gosh forsaken PARROT that Fain, my father in law has, plucking his feathers out!  LOL.  Another day, another story for that subject.  We will leave that one alone for now.

So I also found some really fantastic freebie printables from this designer online at http://www.leeloublogs.blogspot.com/.  I told myself that I was going to start preparing for next Christmas now so that when it arrives I will be ready and not trailing behind all the other procrastinators.  LOL.  I really shot myself in the foot when I didn't stick to last years resolution to start preparing early for 2010 Christmas.  Oh well...It came and went and now I am in 2011 tackling small tasks one at a time, such as the Christmas tags I found on Leelou's website.  They are so stinking cute.  Especially when you punch them out with a shaped punch out, such as the 2 inch scalloped shape puncher.  LOVE It......  Goodbye black sharpie to's and from's written on the wrapping paper, HELLO cutesy tootsie Christmas TAGS.  THANK YOU Leelou!

Easton just crawled in my bed beside me and is sound asleep again.  That boy knows how to steal my heart!  His rosie red cheeks and sweet little nose.  Kids are so darn adorable when they are sleeping.

....And then they WAKE UP!  LOL.

Brad and I are doing something tonight we havent done in  a while.  BOWLING.  How exciting.  This should be fun.  Last time we went bowling Brad got mad becuase he didnt bowl enough strikes.  The guy is a pretty good bowler too.  But first came the look and then went the hat.  He reminds me so much of our little Makayla.  LOL..  Perfection is good enough!  To them anyhow.  We are going with a couple of 3/ 73 pals of ours.  So I know we will have a  great time and maybe Brad won't pout too much.  LOL.  Just kidding.  I know he prides himself on being GREAT  at everything.  Thats why I love him so much.

Brad is golfing now in 30 degree weather.  Nothing will keep him from 18 holes and a Sunny Day, except a RAINY day and Snow...which weather threatens by Monday or Tuesday of next week.  So, its good he got in the 18 today.  Now he will be a much happier camper next week for sure!

Well off to shower to get ready for our company to come over.
