It was a wonderful day yesterday. Tonight I think we are headed to snowfall at a local shopping center (we pipe snow in here 15 minutes at a time in the desert). My son wants to play in the snow soooo bad he is offering up chores, his sea world savings, everything. So we are going to hopefully stand in some piped in snow for a few minutes tonight and then are headed to a neighborhood that collects food for the food bank and puts on a christmas light show. My hubbies only wish for his bday was to walk through this neighborhood. Should be fun and I will take the wagon for the kiddo. Trying to think if I have any battery operated Christmas lights to put on the back of it.

Last night we went to Red Lobster. I never have problems eating here with my allergy. So we went and the hubby had a nice dinner and my kiddo had popcorn shrimp. So you KNOWWW this child’s Mom is a gluten free person. We noticed half way through the dinner he had peeled all his popcorn shrimp and left the breading on the table. haha. My husband rolled his eyes. this is much like the fact that my son thinks a hot dog bun is for holding the hot dog and not eating. so his fingers don’t get dirty. haha. And after finishing the hot dog pitches the bun. I am not worried at all. If he doesn’t want to eat the extra calories at 4 years old so be it. He doesn’t think about it in calories, but I am not going to curb him from not eating things that in the long run will add to his hips. Plus, he and I had a little discusson at dinner about he could have this or that or this, but to think about if he ate to much of the Cheese Biscuit he wouldn’t have room for the rest. He could do it if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to have a tummy ache. He ate a few more bites of the biscuit and waited for dinner. been hard trying to teach my kiddo moderation in food. I know I have a hard time with it and am learning it because of my hernia surgery. I still get the guilty feeling when I leave any food on my plate. I can still hear in my head about the starving children in Africa. And I took this seriously when I was little because my mom lived in Zimbabwe for a large part of her yout. So she must have known.

My biggest question is … why why why do restaurants put children’s plates on the heater? As soon as the servers say “NOW BE CAREFUL this is hot.” (And even said it had been on a plate heater.) I asked for a second plate. Then I put the hot plate in the middle and put some of the food on the cold plate. Be Careful and burns do not register in my sons mind. And why chance it. I didn’t say anything to the server. I just think this every time. It makes no sense, but we just fix it ourselves. haha. My son probably thinks he needs two plates to eat a restaurant.

Well anyways. Dinner was good. Parenting was minimal. My Hubby was happy. Life is good.

Well I better get moving. Heading to the MIL today so my little one can do Christmas Cookies. I will work from there. So they can bond. Have to finish some Christmas Gifts this weekend.

I hope you have a wonderful wonderful weekend!!!
Enjoy!

Well we are celebrating her today! Celebrating my hubbies bday and he even wore this ridiculous hat we have when my son came out with it! What an awesome Dad! my little one in his Helmet Heroes setup of course. Today we plan to head to town with my love and do a little shopping, get a little dinner, and head home.

My husband is one of the biggest blessings of my life. I have found such a wonderful best friend and supporter in all we do and all I do. His eyes just sparkle when he looks at me and I just get those butterflies still inside. We have known eachother for 10 years now and have been married for 7. Time does fly and we are always working on things together and enjoying every moment. He sent this quote to me recently in an email. And it just made me smile.

“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.”—Antoine de Saint-Exupery

It suits us as we are always on another adventure it seems.. are you gagging on the sweeness now? well top things I love about my hubby and then I will quit..

his smile, his eyes, his heart, his hugs, his ideas, how he is with our son, he laughs at my jokes and silly stories, how he gets that quirky smile when he is being mischevious, how he works at things til they are right, how he can drop what he is doing and just wrap me in his arms, how he calls me and touches base all day long, how he drops what he is doing to talk to his Mom on the phone, how he listens to my “cutter world” stories, how he….. well I could go on… but I’ll just throw in this last one…. How he sits a horse… Yowser, makes me weak in the knees.

Well thats enough of this romance-a-post!

Happpppy Birthday to my Hubby!
I can’t wait to see what the next year brings!

Oh and I have I told you that he recently looks at something and says “would that make a good cutter file?” OH MY LORDY LORDY!! hubba hubba.. And now he is seeing the world in Cutter file vision, like I do!! Wooohooo.. Couldn’t be better.

Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy!

So I have been adding songs here and there to my Christmas song list. I think for Christmas day I will pop on my computer and just listen to them all day. Recently, I was emailed a request for a song by Melissa Etheridge. The sentiment of missing someone and being worried about someone really hit home. And it fits my criteria.. you can hear her sing and understand the words. Love that kinda music! So if you get a chance to listen, I have the player on shuffle, but it is on the top of the list. I thought it was a powerful song and was requested by a lady who is missing her hubby as he is away serving our country and uses my pop out player at work while working on the computer. Thank you to her husband and for her request!

And now on… The last two files for the QMC are up. One is part of gear head line. I thought this one would be the most versatile because it could fit a card or project easily. and the next is a snowflake photo frame. These are for my kiddo to make for everyone. He is in charge of one gift every year. So Igive him all the pieces and basic instruction for putting them together. This year I will cut the two piece snowflakes and circles. He can glue and put his name on the back and help with cutting the ribbon to hang them. I am looking forward to working on them this weekend.

I will post a larger picture of his visit with Santa and the accompanying story tomorrow… As there are always stories when you live with a four and a half year old.
