That burst of energy I've been looking for.

I'm not overrun with energy, but I'm much better today than I have been.  Last night, Ben was asleep by 12:30.  I know that is still late, but it would have been earlier if dinner didn't take so long.  We didn't get eating until after 11 which caused everything else to run late as well.  Ben slept until 11:30ish this morning so I've decided that he doesn't get a nap this afternoon.  We are really trying to work on his sleep schedule.

Today, while he did his coloring sheet, I cut out the letters A-E from those foam sheets we have.

Here's Ben doing his coloring sheet for the day:


















Now he can play with them and not have to worry about ripping them.  Every week, I'll make the new letter for him as well.
























He's such a silly goober today.  He wanted his picture taken with each letter, but when I got out the camera, it was all business to him.  He wouldn't smile for the pictures.














































































































This afternoon, we've been playing with cars, watching Up, and I've been baking cookies.  Every time I sit down to add a little more to this post, Ben asks for another cookie, so I'll get back up to get us each another one.  Haha, no wonder I've gained 5 pounds in the last week, when I was up only 2 pounds this whole pregnancy.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my br...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
