Sunday randoms

I love lazy Sundays. It is 11:16 and I'm still in my robe. Here are some random things going on in the Merrill home today:

*My boys are all watching Jeff Dunham (the ventriliquist) and I love that I keep hearing Karter laugh his head off even though I'm fairly certain he didn't actually get the joke. Which is probably a good thing- they're not the most appropriate jokes for a 7 year old.
*I have started the dryer 4 times since yesterday to de-wrinkle the clothes in there but I keep forgetting and having to do it again.
*I'm super frustrated that I cannot find the pictures I took of Karter on his first day of Kindergarten. I have two that I posted on facebook but I can't find the others. Gah!!
*I'm thinking about finding Empire Records on Netflix. LOVE that show.
*I love that my house smells like bacon right now. In a few hours, I probably won't love it so much.
*I think I'm getting a cold. Woke up with a sore throat and runny nose. Dammit. :(
*I got on the scale this morning (because I was bummed yesterday that I'd gained back 6 of the 17 lbs I lost) and was back down 4 of those 6!! That makes me happy. It also makes me think my scale is probably screwed up but eh, whatdya gonna do?
*I've been carrying around a KitKat in my robe pocket so I can eat it when my kids aren't looking, but now I think it's melted.
*This morning I finished a scrapbook page that I've been working on on and off for three days and I think it's one of my favorites.

I also wanted to post this one because this was the funnest night FULL of BFFs!


On a notsorandom note, Rich took the boys "snowboarding" on Friday and they did so well. I can't wait until we can actually take them to a resort. Although I need to practice myself. Rich strapped me on Karter's board in my jeans and tennis shoes and I fell about 6 times down the tiny little hill. And that was after I just about chickened out in the first place. It's been a LONG time.




HAPPY SUNDAY!

  1. I love you Gwen!:) You always make me smile. What a cute idea for a post. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who fluffs the cloths 10 times over before finally making time to fold them:) I wanna go with ya when you hit the real slopes. I miss it sooo much! That GNO was a fun one we should do something like that again:)

  2. You are funny. If I think my scale is off I put my free weights on it and adjust it (they weigh 10 pounds so I adjust the weight to be 10 pounds when they're on it if that makes sense.) Lets do a gno like that one again!!!

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
