iron woman

Do you ever have a conversation inside your head and then ask someone something related to that private conversation? 

Well, that happened last night. Joe and I were laying on the couch after he got home from work. It was getting late, so I told Joe, "I could drag you to the bedroom on the blanket if you want me to."

What he didn't hear was:

I'm really tired. I want Joe to come to bed with me, but he always wants to stay on the couch for a few more minutes and watch TV and relax. I bet I could pull him on the blanket. That way he wouldn't have to stand up and walk on his tired feet. 

We both had a good laugh and I did, in fact, drag him to our bedroom while he laid on top of a blanket. Iron Man here I come!

good vibrations

Corban hates this vibration chair. I guess I should say that he hates when I turn it on. This is his attempt at getting away from the vibrations. I even got a half smile from him!

quiet book

These are the last three pages of my quiet book. The first one is a number one. You pull the card out of the slot and it has the number on one side and objects on the other. The next page is a lace and tie your shoe. And the last page is zip up a tent. I couldn't find a bear, so there is a dog in the tent!

birthday pics

What cheezy faces on both of them!

happy birthday old man

Today is Joe's 27th birthday! He's basically an old man. I kept asking him what he wanted to do today, where he wanted to eat, etc. And he told me he'd think about it. Think about too long and you'll have to wait for next year. I did make him a sign and cupcakes with robot paper cups. I also got him two surprises. In fact, I'll tell you what they are since he never reads this blog any way. I got him a new shirt and a lamp (he doesn't like studying in our office because it's too dark). Practical presents, but I hope he likes them.

Today is also my brother's, Jeff, birthday. 

Happy Birthday to two great guys!

projects and such

Can I first just say that my neighbors are machines. They are older gentlemen, but they are outside at the crack of dawn shoveling their driveways! Makes me feel a little lazy sitting inside wishing I were still in bed.

Anyhoo .. I finished my quiet book! It took a lot longer than I thought, but I like the end result. Joe and I were looking back through the pages and Joe found a mistake. I had inadvertently placed the letter J backwards! Is it bad that I want to leave it? I'll post pictures of the pages I didn't have before. 

And finally, I am an official winner of a limited edition set of cookie cutters from Land O Lakes! Does anyone have the recipe for Grandma's Cookies? Especially the one with the pink frosting a mile thick? 

spring is springing

I never knew that when robins come back, spring is coming. Well, the robins are definitely here and I definitely have spring fever! I'm so excited to go out side and start going for walks again.
