Absolute craziness...

There is definitely no time for breaks in our crazy lives right now.  Time is moving so fast.  Sydney will be here in 4 weeks and our lives are already hectic.  I keep thinking, surely it's going to slow down, but it doesn't.  Shawn had a conference out of town for work last week from Wednesday morning through Friday night.  There are lots of possibilities for more of these coming up for him also.  That is both exciting and sad.  I'm so happy for these opportunities for him but at the same time, while he's away from us, we miss him like crazy and when Sydney is born it will be even more difficult to be apart from him.  Luckily though we have a great family and support system to help us out and keep us company.

This weekend was the super bowl.  We had a little party of our own.  Shawn's parent's came out and so did my Aunt Leslie, Uncle Chris, and their boys, Dylan and Hayden.  The boys are growing up so fast!  I'm constantly reminded how fast Ben is going to grow up.  We had wonderful food.  Shawn's family made cheese dip, we made chicken dip and corn bread and Uncle Chris made jalapeno poppers and my Aunt Marci's recipe for chili.  Everything was so yummy even though the jalapeno poppers were quite spicy. 

We've finally been able to add a few new movies into our Cars rotation with Ben which has been wonderful.  He likes the Toy Story movies now too so we get to watch those mixed in with Cars over and over again.  His cars collection is just getting bigger and bigger.  I think it's so cute how many different ones they have.  He's collecting the Cars characters that have the hologram eyes.  They are extremely cute.

Work is getting really crazy.  My department is being moved and none of us know what is going to happen to us.  Whether we move with the job or become phone reps or get new jobs we don't know.  All of this happening right as I'm getting ready to go on maternity leave. 

We're still looking for a house but not having much luck at this time.  It's scaring me because we are getting really close to our deadline.  I had a little accident on the stairs today which scared me badly.  I didn't hurt myself or the baby, I'm sure, but it could have been really bad.  Luckily I caught myself before landing face first or on my belly.

Like I said, there is lots of craziness and no real time for a break right now.  On top of all of this, we are still doing our normal things around here.  The normal cleaning, cooking, crafts and lessons with Ben, etc.  We are trying to get Ben, and all of us really, on a much more reasonable schedule. 

Stay tuned for more craziness in our hectic lives and watch how this all pans out.  Also, this week Ben is learning the letter C, we working on special valentines for special people in our lives, and we are doing his regular valentines as well.

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
