Bake day

Today I arose after only getting about 3 hours of sleep. My fault for staying out till 3am and knowing my boys will wake up at the latest 6. I decided to embrace the day. I went to church last night so I ran to the store and bought way too much. I started off with scotercheroos, then moved to peanut butter cookies with the kiss in the middle, went next to a bath of snickerdoodles (that are amazing), then made some oreo balls, and got the red velvet cake balls rolled out. I also baked a french vanilla cake to make cake balls but I ran out of chocolate. I still have to make pretzels tomorrow. We will see. I'm spent. I've been baking since 8. I also had decided to make some gifts via Pinterest and they were an epic failure. I am really discouraged about them. I am about to free hand them. We will see how this goes. I haven't decided on what to do yet.

I promise that I will soon blog about our new one year old and other things going on but I have to get some cookies out of the oven!

Failure

Lets talk about the epic failure, that was my "thankful" postings. Honestly, I did not have the time get on the computer and type. We have been so busy that I find myself getting to sit down and it's already 11pm. Between weddings, trips, Thanksgiving, friends, family, sporting events, I just didn't have the time. I know it happens to everyone at some point.

Thanksgiving was good. As usual we headed to Arkansas. The kids all had a great time wearing each other out and the men got to get out and shoot 18 holes of golf. We had a birthday party for Jax since we could get everyone together and he did not like cake. A boy after my own heart! I am picky when it comes to cake. Apparently, he is too!

Jana came into town that same weekend so it was Mexican and a movie! It was a good night out with the ladies and I was we were so far into the future that we could do something like apparate. Then we would never have to without seeing each other for more then a few days...heck maybe hours.

December is here. That is absolutely insane. I have no idea where this year went. It came and went extremely fast. Currently we are getting ready for what looks to be the final wedding of 2011, getting the last items for Christmas, nursing the boys back to health since they have been sick for about 2 weeks, gearing up for some major time off work, Christmas party central, and just spending time with family and friends. Oye, I better get started on Christmas cards this coming up weekend. Yikes.

Day 17-19th

Day 17: Thankful for being able to take a day off work and get a lot done!

Day 18: Being able to spend the day home with my boys! Even though I only got 2.5 hours of sleep!

Day 19: Being able to see too people unite as one. It was a great day and a day full of new experiences!

Day 16

Sometimes, it's the little things that brighten your day. I was watching TV in the 8 o'clock hour this evening and saw this! I love this woman! I am thankful that a 30 second commercial can turn a day around!

I am thankful for 'text dates'. I love being able to have text conversations with loved ones near and far over movies, TV, music...just whatever we are doing at the same time, that is the same. Mostly on Tuesday nights when a few of us text together over a guilty pleasure show of ours. I wouldn't trade that hour for anything!

Day 11-14th

Ok so yeah I am behind. Only because I have no sat down since last week. I am thankful for a beautiful shower that we were able to put on for Rachel this weekend. Spending time with those women makes my day! I am thankful to be able to spend most of the weekend with our friends. We had a few nights of hanging out and relaxing. It always centers me. I am thankful that HP came out on Blu-Ray. I know that this is something that I shouldn't be thankful for since it's an item that I purchased but I love HP and this movie is my favorite. I stayed up twice this weekend until 2 am to watch it. I am thankful for my friends that can feed my obsessions with me. Haha. I love having a variety of people that can partake in the things I love and that I am thankful for the ones that joke around with me and give me a hard time for being a 12 year old. I am thankful that my dad is doing amazing and his recovery is going so well. I am thankful that I got a clean bill of health at the dentist and nothing went wrong! Hahahaha. We all know my dentist stories are usually a little more excitable then I normally like.

Day 10

I am thankful for lunch time at work. Now this may sound odd, but being able to break free at lunch, makes us a little more sane. I said a little. I love being able to run errands, eat at some of our favorite places, shop, just get out! My lunch partner is pretty amazing and it's always fun to compare receipts at the end. I usually spend the most. Especially when we go to Target. Oye. I am thankful for a job that allows us 45 minutes to take a needed break. I will admit, some days it's longer then 45 minutes! =)
