Christmas Recap: Part Three

Christmas morning was really fun this year! Monkey was really excited and he actually understood about Santa so this was the first year that he visited. We let Monkey open his Santa gifts before breakfast and then did the rest afterwards. I think it was great doing it this way because he was entertained while waiting for breakfast but we weren't all starving while we opened presents. 
Goose wasn't ready to be awake but I couldn't let him miss out on Christmas morning so I went ahead and woke him up. As you can tell by his poor little "why did you wake me up" face!
Monkey got a remote control car from Santa because that is what he asked for but he also brought him a bag of Chex Mix because he loves eating it with Popa. Can you guess what he was more excited for?
Goose opened his gifts from Santa too. He got 4 little board books to play with or really eat :)
Here's Monkey's with his remote control truck. It came with a trailer that tows a mustang, his favorite car. He played with it all morning!
This is after breakfast gifts. This was Goose's gift from Monkey. He thought they tasted yummy!
Monkey's big gift from us was a 3 foot 3D color yourself  project. Of course Mommy forgot to get markers from the store so we have yet to start it but I will post a picture of the finished project when we get it done.
This was Goose's favorite gift. He loves cuddling with the bear from Popa. He was so sleepy he didn't make it through all of presents. Popa got Monkey a bear when he was a baby too. Now they both have their own. A great thing for them to have later on.
Then we headed down to Granny's house (Hubby's grandparent's) and had lots of play time with cousins and then a great dinner. Hubby and the cousins were picking on each other and getting each other in trouble. A true holiday with family. Then we opened presents. The magnetic tiles from Granny I think are his all time favorite gift. He plays with them almost every day. 
No he's not sleeping again although he looks like it. He was playing with his new bee that flashes, plays music, and vibrates while watching the cousins build things. He loves laying on the bee when it vibrates. I wonder if it feels good on his little teeth that I think are starting to bug him.
Okay...that's it! Our Christmas recap! Read part one here and part two here or as always just stop by and look at the pictures! That's what it comes down to sometimes when we are all busy mama's. Hope you all have a Christ centered Christmas that made 2012 end well!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
