Snow Day 2011

First day of snow for 2011! It started last night and just kept coming down. So that meant I got to work from home! So during my lunch break, I bundled up the little man and headed outside. The snow was starting to melt and was a lot higher in the morning, but it was still fun. This morning when I took Murph out to pee he was so confused and you couldn't see his legs the snow was so high. lol Nothing better than yellow pee right?! lol

So preparation: Socks check, Fleece pants check, Fleece shirt check, Fleece footed pjs check, Fleece hat check, Furry jacket check. I think we are ready to head out!!

As soon as we get out Murph was having a blast running around tossing his tennis ball in the air. Aiden just looked around and was amazed. He didn't know what to do. I look forward to the day when he can throw snowballs at Daddy, because what else is better than that?! :-)

Once inside straight to the tub he went to get warm! I heard on Wednesday or Thursday it's suppose to be low teens. GREAT, but maybe some more snow!!!

Goodbye Sliding Glass Doors

Warning long post!

We have been busy bees over here! I've been trying to finish our sink. Wes hung the shower curtain and toilet paper holder. Turned out great! Just check it out:

Today I made the sliding glass door disappear. How? Curtains!!! Temporary until we replace it with an actual window. Can't wait for that day! However they turned out great! Thanks to the curtains I found at Lowes on a whelm. They go perfect blending the living room and kitchen together. See how well they go with the rug in the living room. I can't stop staring at them. Simple and clean. Also addition to the ADORABLE baby just talking up a storm.

I had so much fun hanging out with Aiden...so of course I had to take pictures. We were really working on standing up alone without support. He did better and better each try and was getting so excited when he saw what he was doing. Precious! I just love this outfit Gabby gave him for Christmas, such a little rocker. While we were playing Murph was napping. lol Where's Murphy?!?! He was so worn out from playing with Brett and Tanner.

Party planning update:

So we officially have outfits for the little man to wear. The first one me and Mom, I mean Honey, found while shopping in Birmingham. I forgot the name of the children consignment shop, but it was in Homewood. I really liked it too. They had adorable stuff! Yes, I know it's really really girly, but hey this is like my last time to make him "cute". lol Plus as soon I saw the smocked tools I was like PERFECT! Exactly what I needed for Bob the Builder theme. If it's too chilly that day we might just end up wearing overalls.. Well then as I'm walking through Walmart the other day searching for footed pjs I ran across $2.50 Carter ones. AWESOME! I ended up getting two adorable ones...and the best part was one was Construction themed!!!! Perfect to wear after he eats his cake. I know Aiden and it will end up ALLLL over him. So a backup outfit is definitely in order. Don't yall just love them?!

Then I found something else PERFECT! I swear best trip ever to Wally World!! These will be perfect for the kids that come to the party and something to take home. While the adults enjoy their adult beverages.

Last update I finished making Aiden's high chair decoration. There will be lots of pictures of him in it eating his cake, so I wanted the chair to look cute. I like the way it turned out. I had all the supplies, plus its cheaper than buying one...so off I went. Check it out!

I can't believe it

I can't believe Aiden is 11 months now! Time is just passing too quickly! Makes me sad to see you grow up, but excited of all the things you accomplish each day. Love you with all my heart little man!

I'll do his official 11 month post probably this weekend after I do his photoshoot with Mommy's new camera! :-)

In just 4 weeks is his big day! I think I have everything I need for decorations...just need to figure out the menu. Yes, I even have his presents wrapped and hiding! :-) Invitations were even put in the mail today and marked the Friday before a vacation day just to spend some quality time with the birthday boy!

After my unbelievable busy,non-stop issues of a day I am counting down...

Winter Cleaning

Instead of Spring Cleaning I've begun Winter Cleaning! I had been majorly slacking and having a long weekend was just perfect! Plus Aiden wasn't being really needed and was content following me around and playing with his toys instead of wanting Mommy to hold him. Don't get me wrong I LOVE holding him, but I was in the mood to clean.

Tasks:
1. Clean out closets and chest and get Goodwill bags together-DONE
2. Seal and start staining vanity-DONE just have to poly. The color is PERFECT!
Before

After:

3. Clean and organize Master Bedroom- DONE! I even hung a picture that has been resting on the floor for almost a year....haha oops.
4. Hang Master bathroom shower curtain rod-Wes' honey do list for tomorrow :-)
5. Hang toilet paper holder-on Wes' list for tomorrow
6. Clean garage-To do for this weekend

I guess this is my New Years resolution. haha I will end on a funny note. So Aiden got a comfy new chair for Christmas and this is how I find him....next to it. haha! Yes Mom he's allowed to watch Calliou so Mommy can get dressed and eat breakfast without being late to work. :-) lol

This is what he did when he found I caught him! Little stinker! How can you not LOVE that face!! Melts my heart.....I guess we need to practice some more teaching him how to climb in his chair. lol
