Six Things

1. Noah has been into monsters lately. It's really quite cute. Last night, right before bed, Noah told his daddy "The monster is sleeping in my bed." Then Josh said, "Well, you can snuggle up with the monster then." Meanie! Thankfully, Noah isn't scared of the monster in his room. Perhaps it's a nice monster like Sulley from the movie Monsters, Inc. Have you seen the monster vanishing spray? I think it might be fun to make some to have around just in case his monster turns scary. :) Another great Pinterest find!

2. Remember the Valentine printable I made for you all last year? Well, I thought about making another one this year, but apparently there's no need. The printable is all over Pinterest. My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw it had been reblogged 1,392 from just one person. ONE person. Nuts! And not only that, the printable was published in the most recent issue of the the craft magazine Mollie Makes. I'm not sure i'll ever be able to top that one!

3. I gotta say, I never thought I could do it. Today marks twenty one days since my last Dr Pepper. Crazy, ya'll. But it was definitely time to make the cut. Some days have been a struggle, but overall, it really hasn't been too bad. And now I drink more water than ever. I crave it. Yes, crave water. And oh how thankful I am for crystal light when I need a little taste of sugar in my life. It's been a good thing.

4. Last night we went as a family to see Beauty and the Beast in 3d. I forgot how much I loved that movie growing up. There were several times I caught myself singing along with the songs. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Josh giving me the "will you shut up" look. Ha! I love that Noah's now at the age where we can go to the theater as a family and "watch a big movie." So fun!

5. I hit the jack pot at Bath and Body Works last week. I got four of the 14.5 oz three wick candles {that are normally $19.50 each} for a little over $30. I can't remember the exact price, but I think they were maybe $8 each. SO cheap! I love when I find good deals. Go get yourself some smelly good candles!

6. I'm about to celebrate three years of blogging! Yay! I think we should celebrate with a couple giveaways. It's been like forever since the last one. Don't miss out--I have some really great shops lined up!

Have a lovely Sunday!

InstaFriday

Hello! Happy Friday.
My iPhone pictures are growing by the day, so I thought
I'd better get some up on the blog before I get too behind.

Noah playing with all the merchandise in build-a-bear. He loves that store!
I'm sure the workers love when we go in there just to play around. :)

Love my sister. We always have so much fun together! :)

Lunch date with mommy at Freebirds! Yum!

Photobucket

It has been super chilly around here, so we've
been playing at Pump It Up a lot lately. Noah
loves it-- he gets so excited every time I ask him
if he wants to go and play. I'm thinking we
might need to check into season passes.

Photobucket

Uh oh! Looks like we're in trouble.
Already checking out the sports cars!

Photobucket

The other day I caught Noah sticking his little booty
up in the air while he was napping. It was too cute.

Photobucket

Noah playing with the whole Toy Story crew.
He used Christmas money from his great grandmother, Gigi,
to finish off his collection with Bullseye and Slinky dog.

Photobucket

Noah could not get enough of this train. He loved it!

Photobucket

This picture cracks me up every time I look at it.
So cute! Using chopsticks for the first time. Yay Noah!

Photobucket

I almost talked Josh {and myself} into letting me buy
Noah a pair of lovebirds. They are the cutest little birds ever.
But then someone told me they are loud and messy.
No.thank.you. I have a pug that is loud enough.
{He's snoring at my feet as I sit here and blog}.

Fun at the mall!

Sleeping in his Toy Story bed at Grammy and Papa's
house. He always sleeps so well in that little bed.

Currently

Happy New Year... um, 13 days later! It's a good thing I didn't make a resolution to blog more this year because I'm starting off the year in a funk. Really, the truth is, I've been super lazy lately and just not in the mood to sit down and blog. Anyway, I'm here {yay!}, and it feels good to be back. To ease back into blogging, I thought it would be fun to link up again to the "currently" series at Perfectly Imperfect. Let me know if you link up too! I'd love to stop by and read what you've been up to.
