I'm Just A Little Bit Older

According to Rionn, I'm just a little bit older.  Such a nice thing to say to your mother.  Of course, his next sentence was that he was going to be 7 and that's SOOOO old.  LOL!  And he promptly brought me back to reality.


So ask me what I want to do on my birthday and I will always tell you lunch at Charlie's and then a walk on the beach.   Because I'm sure that the fried calamari that I downed today was not the best option.  But it was oh so good.  I had a great day.  I feel like I made out this year.  I got a trip to the beach!  And the following: a purple toaster, a cupcake maker, toaster oven pans, candles, new blanket, and a snowboarding jacket.  My mother in law gave me a bag of "stuff that you won't buy yourself" things.  You know, like a pie server, egg slicer, microwave plate cover, towel rack.  You know, that cheap stuff that I keep telling myself that I don't really need and can't justify spending the $4-5 on.

Holiday Post

So I haven't been posting on here.  I've been busy.  You know- mom, wife, employee, etc.  But we had a nice Christmas.  Of course, Cole and Rionn slept in till 7:30.  I think I have a problem, seeing how I was up at 5 waiting for someone to get up so we can open presents.  However, I will say that I must be getting older because I'm usually up at 4 or earlier.  Even after I became mom.  Christmas just excites me.  Maybe it's because my birthday is in December.  Well, after vacation, I dove straight into making Christmas presents.  The tailoring gene skipped right over me and I had decided to make aprons that were half applique and all pattern.  Next year, we'll buy all the cousins presents and I'm sure that my sewing machines will be happy.  I also started Rionn's quilt on the 20th after everyone else's presents were done.  Even the dogs loved their presents.  Except Roscoe who was deathly afraid of his giant bone.  But he over took Scooby's-who had no problem licking Roscoe's.  Now that Christmas is over, I'm in full party planning mode.  6 days and counting till I have a  7 year old.
