Another good weekend and strange dreams

Since we've had car trouble, it wasn't really possible for us to go anywhere big this weekend.  We couldn't even really go to Kansas City for my nephew's birthday party.  On Saturday, we did run a few errands.  We went to the library as we promised Ben.  He was so excited and before we knew it, Shawn and I had our hands full of books we'd picked out for him or he had picked out himself.  I'm sure nobody likes books like Ben does.



















Right now we are waiting on lab work to come back on Shawn.  He's being tested for Celiac Disease so on Saturday we also made a trip to the Merc for some good gluten free products.  I love the Merc.  So much good stuff, and it always smells so good there.  I also got my Christmas cards mailed out, with the exception of one that got left behind in the shuffle.  I'm hoping to get that one out today.  Saturday night, we watched Up as a family.  If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.  There were a few parts that had Ben on the edge of his seat, but even with those, I think it's a great family movie.

Here's a funny picture of Ben trying to make Shawn and I laugh.  He succeeded.

















Sunday, Shawn's parents came to town.  We just relaxed around the house and after they left we ate dinner and watched Monsters Vs. Aliens.  It was a cute movie.  Not as good as Up, but a good, cute movie none the less.

Every night, we've been having fun little dance parties around dinner time.  Here is a couple of pictures from Sunday night's dance party.


































Ben's favorite toy lately has been his blocks.  He gets very intent when he's building with them.  It's like they aren't a toy and building isn't a game, but more of a job that he has to get done.  He's very particular about where they go too.  He likes people to build with him but he wants it done his way and each of the blocks placed where he wants them.


























































We have been taking a small hiatus from crafts until I'm able to go pick up some more fun stuff to use.  Until then we are just coloring Christmas pictures.  He's really stuck on Santa lately.  You can look for more crafts by the end of this week or this weekend.


















Last night, I had the craziest dream.  I was having serious contractions and we were calling the doctor and running to the hospital.  The dream lasted forever.  I seriously felt like it lasted all night long and the pain seemed so real.  I woke up this morning exhausted.  I felt like I'd run a marathon and my whole body ached and my stomach muscles ached the worst of all.  Has anybody else had crazy pregnancy dreams like this?

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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
