wow, bad when you can't think of a caption...

So Christmas is officially in the air.  We picked up a Christmas tree tonight and will be decorating it along with the house tomorrow.  I have shopped for my two little kids but not really anyone else so tons of shopping to do. Daddy Waffle is working some over time so he wont be home much between now and Christmas week which sucks but will be worth it in the end. 

Other than that not much to say, Baby Waffle still wont sleep like a normal child should but I have to say the sweetest thing happened last night.  He ended up in my bed (par for the course) and I woke up around 3:30 am to find him laying there holding my hand.  SOOOOOO flippin' sweet! 

On that note I will close for tonight. Peace out!!!

soooo tired....

of having a child that simply will not sleep.  Two nights he will go down great and sleep for at least a few hours but then it is always back to this... wont sleep a wink if I am not touching him! 

I repurchashed the No Cry Sleep Solution and will be reading that again starting tomorrow.  heres hoping....

December 1st....

we say it all the time but SERIOUSLY where has the year gone, 2010 seemed like such a far off date once upon a time and now look it is essentially GONE! 

So today was a nice day, for the most part.  I was reminded by a friend to stop taking my kiddos for granted.  She posted the kids commandments on her blog and it really hit me, you know, right there.  I so often catch myself expecting sooo much of Little Waffle especially and I realized today that has got to stop.  She is only 5 and 3\4 after all!  (although we did figure out today that she has only 59 days until she turns 6~) 
 So that is my mission, work harder on letting her be a kid, if she would only work with  me on that one (she so much wants to be the boss, I swear!)

Baby Waffle I think has flipped his lid!  Well, first the good... I think I mentioned last night that while I was in school last night Baby Waffle fell asleep on Daddy Waffle and stayed there until like 11:30 pm.  I moved him at that time and he stirred, just long enough to nurse, and went back out.  He slept in his bed until around 3:30 am when he quietly came in my room and proceeded to sleep until 6:30ish this morning!  That has to be the best night sleep he has EVER had!!!  The crazy set in tonight though when the silly boy started dancing around the living room.  SOOOO FUNNY, he was spinning in circles until he was falling down.  I love it!  It was so fun to watch him being so happy.  Now if the little bugger would just figure out how to say Mama, Dada or ANYTHING for that matter!!!
Well I guess that is it for now, Peace out!  

wow where has the month gone?

So, I missed a day and screwed up my NaBloPoMo and as a 'punishment' I have ignored my dear blog since I messed up.  Shame on me.  I enjoy doing this, posting my thoughts for no one in particular to follow, so who really did I punish...well frankly, no one lol but regardless, I am back.  I am going to make December my month to blog every day.  So you three (of which I believe I am actually one) watch out your reader will over floweth!!!

I will be back tomorrow to up date what we are actually up too, until them PEACE OUT!

Dang it dang it dang it

The road to hell is paved with good intentions! My month is blown and I was doing so great. I had every intention of blogging every day in November for NaBloPoMo but alas I blew it. In fact I THOUGHT I blew it last night, Monday Nov 8th, but when I just came now to write this post I discovered my last post was in fact Nov 6 th. So dang it there goes that dream!! Well I do have an excuse, really I do. We got the rooms finished and Baby Waffle is in his new bed in his new room and therefore we have had NO sleep the last two days. I am in fact sitting up at 2:43am because the dear baby is up. On top of turning his world upside down I am nowalso trying to cut out his little midnight snacks so there is another reason we are up. Doesn't give me any chance of winning any prizes but well I guess in the end the only prize I really need is a boy who likes to sleep in his nice new big boy bed!!!!!
Well going to try to get the man back in bed. Good night to all.
TTFN

Moving (around) day...

So we spent all day today making changes to the set up of the house.  The playroom is all done.

The kids room is all done and Little Waffle will be spending her first night in the top bunk she has decided will be hers! (eek, no rails, we may need to fix that!) 

and baby Waffle is in his very own 'big boy bed' for the first time tonight, I am crossing everything I have that he makes it all night there!  (but big sissy is ready to sleep with him if she has too, lol) 

now all that is left is to move our bedroom furniture back to the master bedroom and out of the den we currently have it in so I can set up the classroom in said den.  It is just so exciting! (and somehow I am ready to be done with the shifting. )  

Well, I have some reading to do for my classes and I have started crocheting again so I have things to do, I must run.  TTFN!

Girls night out

Amazing how much different that is now than it once was. lol  Tonight I had girls night out with Little Waffle, we got some free tickets to the Veggie Tales show at one of the churches in town so off we went.  A quick dinner at the most healthy of spots Micky D's (we were running late) then to the show. 


I have never really had reason to pay much attention to the Veggie Tales but I have to say it was nice.  Nice that they have fun while teaching to share (or whatever the lesson may be at a given time!) 

Anyway thanks to Aunt Val for the free tickets!  I will leave you with a few pictures.
