Random Thoughts

There's no rhyme or reason to this post, just a jumble of random thoughts and other stuff that has been going on lately:

*It hit 70 degrees last Friday so we spent the day in the backyard. It felt like heaven to feel the warm sunshine on my arms! Then we got an inch of snow on Monday. What?!? The weather here is out of control!

*I've been slowly plugging away on my long list of spring cleaning projects. It feels so good to be getting my home in order!

*Jack and Cullen have been saying more and more two-word phrases including "daddy bye-bye" (in response to my asking them where Daddy was), "I baby" (as Cullen snuggled onto my lap this morning), "go bye-bye" (demanding that I take them outside), and "right here/there".

*Jack also drew a sort-of-rounded shape this afternoon and proudly pointed at it saying "circle!"

*The boys have taken it upon themselves to make sure the cats are behaving. They use their hands to gesture that the cats should come and they also love to shake their finger and shout "No No Huck!" when they catch Huck scratching the furniture.

*Jack is currently pants-less because he stubbornly refused to let me put his pants on after his diaper change. He insisted on doing it by himself and whenever I offered to help him he furrowed his brow in concentration and shouted "NO!"

*Brandon had the day off from work yesterday and admission was free to Mount Vernon because it waS President's Day so we went for a few hours in the morning. Besides being very crowded and cold, we had a great time visiting all the farm animals. We forgot our camera though so no cute pictures of the boys next to the giant bull :-(

*Last night, Brandon got home from class and found me on the couch with a plateful of my favorite cookies watching the Bachelor.
Brandon: "Geez, how many cookies are you going to eat?"
Me: "Probably 6, like I usually do"
Brandon: "You're just lucky you have a good metabolism because otherwise you'd blow up like a balloon with all the cookies you're eating lately"
I just burst out laughing and then went right ahead eating my cookies. Although, now that I've just typed it and put it out there for the world to read, 6 cookies does seem a little excessive. Especially considering I make these cookies about twice a week....

*Cullen has been head-butting me lately. When I tell him not to because he's hurting me, he gets a sad face and kisses my "owie" Sweet... until he head butts me again!

*I needed something to fill my Tuesday nights while Brandon's at class until 10:30 so I started watching Glee a couple weeks ago. A little late, I know. So I ordered the first season on Netflix and convinced Brandon to watch it with me and it turns out, he loves it! Who'd have thought? Our favorite character is the cheerleading coach Sue. And now he's going to kill me for telling you all that he likes Glee. I don't see what the big deal is, though. I'm not ashamed to admit I watch the Bachelor, he shouldn't be ashamed to admit he watches Glee.
