Don't hate me because I'm festive :)

I just can't wait anymore. I'm so excited for chrismas...no I'm not forgetting thanksgiving...I'm just getting a jump start on the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" (feel free to shut off the music if you need to!!)

Thankful Thursday

I saw this idea on T.V. today and thought it would be a good idea to do it.

Here are 5 things I am thankful for this week.

1.My loving husband and how hard he works

2. My warm house (amazing how a few weeks w/out heat can make you thankful for that!!)

3. Feeling my baby kick and move inside of me...it's my favorite part of being pregnant

4. The silly things my kids say that make me laugh

5. Lower gas prices...this really makes a difference in our budget!!


Wow....that was easy...I challenge you all to do the same thing (either in response to my blog or on your own)

Happy Birthday Mr. Garritson!! Happy Birthday to you!!

Sorry...I was channeling Marilyn Monroe there I think ;)



I meant to sit down and write this all day yesterday, but never found a solid 10 minutes to do it in...so forgive me for being a day late...but I wanted to dedicate a post to my hubby for his b'day.



I'll start with this picture.





For those who don't know...my husband is obsessed with a well manicured lawn. I first discovered it when we were taking care of the lawns in the apartments. he would take great care to make a great design in the lawn and then go to our upstairs windows to look out on it and admire the mowing lines. I think he wanted to be a baseball field groundskeeper at one point in his life, and is trying to fulfill his dream w/ his own lawns the best he can.



This was probably the last mowing of the season, and no...we can't just do a quick mow to pick up the leaves, we have to mow a diagonal pattern in it. It makes me laugh...but what makes me laugh even more is that Michael has the same problem. He told Dave he should mow it back and forth, then up and down so it would look like a checker board and they could play checkers on the lawn!! Like father like son I guess!!


Hope you had a good birthday Dave...I hope to be more successful at celebrating it next year!!
XOXO


P.S. feel free to drop over to Dave's blog (on my sidebar) to drop him a birthday wish...his blog isn't very exciting (unless you're a hopelessly devoted New Orleans Saints fan)...but he likes it :)

4 in 4 tag

I got tagged (awhile ago...sorry) to post the fourth picture in the fourth photo file on my computer...so...here it is :)

This was taken the day after Michael's second Christmas. He was 19 months old. He got some bathtub crayons from Santa and was enjoying coloring with them and eating them!! Wow...my baby sure has grown (this pic made me a little teary eyed...they grow up so fast!!!)

I'll Tag Sherry, Michele, Denise, Janell, and Dawni...let's see what the 4th picture is in your fourth folder!
