Friday Faves!

1. Being greeted by a sweet little nugget standing up in his crib bouncing up and down with excitement to see his Mommy. I was in Houston yesterday, and when I got home it was bed time...but not quite yet...when I walked in, he was SO excited to see me. Totally made my day... and it was a long, emotional one.

2. A weekend at home this weekend! Whoop! My to-do list consists of the following:

-Putting up all the new cabinet hardware in the kitchen that I bought SEVERAL weeks ago. YAY...no more white, country-lookin' knobs!

-Reconfiguring the picture situation over C's changing table. Yeah, apparently pictures are super fun to rip off the wall. Good news is that means I will finally have something to hang over his crib since I never had artwork made and am not crafty enough to do it myself. I did get this precious sign in La Grange last weekend, so it will be included in my white-frame montage over the crib.


-Updating the pics in the black & white picture wall in the living room. Yeah, still don't have but one picture of Carson up there. :-(

3. Discovering the SD card slot on my new computer actually works! YAY! No more searching for the cord and plugging in the soccer mom camera! It's fast too!

4. Buying the simplest thing for Andrew's birthday crawfish boil and him getting beyond super excited about it. Crawfish trays with a built-in can holder. Brilliant.


5. Beautiful flowers...just because. :-)




6. A ridiculously precious little boy and milking every last ounce out of the weight limit on one of his favorite toys!


7. Not caring that "C" now stands for Chipmunk, not Carson. He has already seriously left his mark on his crib rail thanks to those 8 teeth, and I don't care! I did buy a cover the other day and can't wait for it to get here though. :-)

8. Completing an Appraisal Institute course on the appraisal of manufactured housing (I need lots of continuing education credits this year...yuck!) and realizing how much I remembered from grad school when I had to do a project on manufactured housing. Score 1 for my memory!

9. Using 5 coupons at Target and saving a few bucks. Hey, a dollar is a dollar! I did, of course, sit there and do the math to figure out if buying the required 6 of the name brand to get the coupon was cheaper than if I bought 6 of the generic brand. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Very few things must be name brand - toilet paper and foil, to name a couple.

10. Looking forward to taking C on his first boat ride, if the weather cooperates. I can't wait to see him in his little life jacket. :-)

11. Easily coming up with 10 things that made me smile this week! Probably could have done more!
