How can you say NO to this?

Just put Little Hauss to bed, and inevitably, he always finds ways to NOT go to bed....water, bathroom, one time it was even to wash his hands!!! SO, I was leaving his room, and he says, "May I have one more thing?" I say "what?" in an annoyed voice, and he says "One more hug and kiss"!!!!!!!! Awww, just melt my heart! Love it!

The Baby Store

What do you think this is? Well, some might say, a store where you buy goods for a baby.....ya know, cribs, clothes, bibs, diapers, toys, etc.

Well, that's not quite it according to Little Hauss!

Let me set it up:

Hubby and are are talking about talking about having a baby! Does that make any sense? Well, we've started looking at timing, and when we MIGHT want to bring another baby in this family, but that's as far as it goes. We haven't really settled on much yet, but I do want another one, we're just not there YET!
So, sometimes we'll see friends with babies or talk about babies or whatever, and Little Hauss picks up on this and we'll ask, 'do you want a baby brother or sister?' and he sometimes says yes and sometimes its no (all depending on his mood). Tonight this is how it went:

Little Hauss: I'm a good big brother
Me: You're not a big brother. Do you want to be a big brother?
LH: Yeah, I want a baby brother.
Me: Ok, I'll have to talk to your dad about that. We'll see how it goes.
LH: Ok, can we go get one at the baby store???????
Me: Speechless!!!!!!

I just had to laugh. He was so serious and its so darn cute to see how those little minds work!!! Now, let's see if I can convince him a baby sister would be good too!!!! Hehe!

Is it possible....

For a person to become ONE with a piece of furniture, like a couch?
I'm pretty sure my arse has affixed itself to the couch this weekend and it is going to take A LOT to get it to work tomorrow!

Seriously, I took full advantage of no work, Little Hauss feeling a little under the weather, and Hubby being home for 4 days, and we've just been completely lazy! I am hoping that Little Hauss can go to school tomorrow. I mean, I'd love to have another day off work, but that means, I'd have to go in on Friday.....yuck, so we'll see how it all works out! He's not really feverish, but just a little tired and clingy. It is kind of nice to just lay around and watch movies and cuddle, except we've seen 'Cat in the Hat' about 4 times and his personalized 'Spiderman' video about 12 - not kidding!

I have made good use of my couch sitting time by being a little travel agent for Hubby and friend for their trip to Austin, TX in march for a wedding! I will find the best deal possible! I love it but sometimes it can take a while! We have finalized a flight and now are working on hotels! Um, I will NOT allow $250/night for a room just because that is where the groom will be!!!! There are perfectly suitable alternatives within 1/2 mile of that hotel that are MUCH cheaper!

Other than that, I've been checking on school info - yes, I've decided to go back to school - all in another post! and working on our own little vacay sometime this summer....SO, I've not been completely lazy.....my fingers have done alot of work!! Now, I think my coffee is ready, so I need to get my arse off the couch and fill up my cup!

New Years "Campout" 2008-09


Picnic with "camp" food (hot dogs, tater tots, chips, veggies, fruit, and cheese)


Little Hauss' first tent (a tad small, but he didn't notice)

Roasting Marshmallows (in our wood stove) for Smores

SMORES! Little Hauss doesn't get chocoate very often, so this was big treat!

Helping Daddy blow the fire off the marshmallows....Zoey watching hoping for some crumbs!

Zeus and Zoey trying get in the tent with Mommy and Little Hauss
Our "Campout" was a success. Little Hauss LOVED his tent and making smores! We watched 2 movies and some football, played some games, and just hung out! Little Hauss made it until about 10:30, and finally zonked out! I really wasn't too far behind him. I can't remember the last time I saw the ball actually drop??? I'm getting old!
Today, we've already undecorated the house and it always makes me a little sad! I get used to the normalness eventually, but the tree, lights, and all the specialness from the Christmas decorations just makes the house seem so much warmer. I guess I'll just have to keep on redecorating to finally get it how I want it to be all the time!! I'm sure Hubby will LOVE that. More work for him! I'm hoping to get the light fixtures hung tomorrow!
So, on another note, the HOKIES play today in the Orange Bowl at 8pm! We are having our bestest friends over to watch with us. We haven't seen this couple in way too long.....so it should be fun! We usually see them on a weekly basis, but with all the hustle and bustle from the holidays, its been about a month! I've got turkey and beef sliders, baked beans (mom's recipe), veggies, and kicked up brownies (extra chocolatey with icing) on the menu. Can't wait.

Marley and Me

What a WONDERFUL movie. Take the girls, your sweetie, or family to see it! Its one of the best I've seen in a while.....

I've had my fix.....

Oh, I love my girls!!! They keep me grounded, real, SANE!
We usually have happy hours weekly, or monthly (aka, whenever works) girls nights, but lately, its been non existant!!!
Now, we've seen each other out and about here and there over the past few months, but no "real" girl time! I NEED my girl time! Hubby wants me to have my girl time!!! Really!
SO, one of the girls was in town for the holidays and we had Christmas Cocktails last Monday, and it was wonderful! Then, a few of us went out on Friday night to a local Bar and had a mini reunion with friends in from out of town! Last night was a quiet, low key dinner with a small group and TONIGHT we went to see a movie - Marley and Me!
First of all, I love my girls nights....did you get that? BUT, more than that, I LOVE Hubby for agreeing to all the nights out!!! He's picked up all the slack and not whined or complained about it one bit!!!! Loving it! I think I'm done for a bit....there is some major football to watch coming up in the next few days, and I seriously doubt he'll be so willing to let me run amok with the girlies!
So, I've had my fix......it should last me a couple weeks!
