finally back to routine

1. i ventured out in the cold and snow last saturday evening to get this pic. we had just returned from eating dinner out to celebrate ham's birthday and the fresh falling snow + the lights of the neighborhood was calling my name. {taken outside of our garage}

2. so far kaylee and i have not gotten sick. whatever ham had has not spread, thank goodness! and knock on wood.

3. i am one of those mom's who let their kid's skip school. i usually let ham have one day to skip for his birthday being that he hasn't missed a bunch before hand and his grades are still up.

4. so we went shopping yesterday. ham found a pair of shorts and pair of jeans. kaylee whined a bit because she was so hungry and we were not shopping for her. something i'm teaching her- that we do not shop for ourselves while shopping for the males in our house, they can handle only so much. {we went to 3 stores and ham did try on about 10 pairs of jeans. he was exhausted afterwards and ready to go home}

5. she did end up with a pretzel for the ride home. ham and i got smoothies and ham bourbon chicken w/rice. i did end up wasting 6 bucks. i dropped ham's extra large smoothie before he even had a chance to drink some of it.

6. ever since ham got sick, i still feel we have that "bond" and its such a nice feeling.

7. today is our official back to routine day. waking up at 6:10am this morning was not fun. kaylee will go to school too this afternoon which means i am back to running errands -we're almost out of toilet paper and getting some much needed free time.

8. i've cleaned kaylee's bedroom, next up is her toy room then my craft room so i can get started on ham's baby books.

9. someone wanted to trade their jaguar for our caddy. its nice car but ham's holding out for a bmw. (not to get the wrong idea, he gets X amount for the car so if he can find one in that price range he can have it but yes, he is so SPOILED!)

10. he knows it too. i did one of those "back in my days" when he said something about talking to his kids about back in his days...i told him i will make sure that his kids know that he got his own way with everything and to not believe a word he says otherwise! {he smiled at that one}
