Tips are appreciated!

This is a video my mom (Gigi) captured of Little Huass showing off in the "shadow" room at the Children's Museum!

He is a natural I must say and has mad talent! I might just be able to quit my job now and throw him into Hollywood.....So, you think you can dance?!! Damn right! I'll be rolling in the dough and he can support my Starbucks habit! I'll be his manager of course and then after years of childhood stardum, he'll fire me at the mature age of 13 and we won't speak any longer! Can't wait!

Ughh!

We left the camera in GA! In the side door pocket of my mom's car! This is like losing a limb!!! I hope nothing too cute happens in the next couple of weeks because I won't be able to document it with a picture!!! Depending on when they are headed this way (my dad works up here lots, so it usually isn't too far inbetween visits), I might need them to put it in the mail!

And, my internet was acting all funky last night....one second, online, next, no server!!! Whatever ~ I guess its God's way of helping me with my new years resolution....less laptop time at home!! More time with family!

I will have some pics and a cutie video to post soon because mom is sending me the ones that she snapped!

Happy Hump Day....can't wait til I'm over it!

So much fun!

Sorry for being out to touch for a few days-we're in GA visiting Gigi and Pop and have been having too much fun to blog!
Thanks to Little Hauss for the 5:45 wake up call this morning, I'm able to post a little something!

The trip down was wonderful! Little Hauss is so used to traveling and is usually really good in the car...even for 7 hrs! This time was no different. He had his leap pad and dvd player to entertain him for the ride down and did not disappoint!

Friday we woke up early (not as early as today) and got ready to brave the frigid cold outside so we could explore the Imagine It! Children's Interactive Museum downtown Atlanta! If you live near ATL or have something similar in your area, I strongly reccommend taking your child! It was so much fun. Little Hauss was in heaven. I promise to post pictures and a video soon! There were all types of learning things for their little hands and minds to explore - it was really neat. There were a lot of preschools there as well, so it was fun to watch Little Hauss interact with all the other children!
We met Pop for lunch at The Varsity for some old fashion hot dogs and greasy fries (um, except me, who ate a grilled chicken salad - I'm really surprised they even had something healthy on the menu)! Little Hauss went back to the house with Pop and Hubby for a nap and mom and I went shopping at IKEA! I love that store. We returned to the house and litterally got in our pjs, started a fire and cozied up to the couch because it was too cold to do anything else!
Yesterday, we got to sleep in until about 7:30ish...and then started our busy day of running around. We hit up Trader Joes for some wine and beer (very unique flavors at a great price) and went to some random Japanese Market (my dad's a little obsessed with sushi) then back to the house to drop the boys off and more shopping for me and mom!
I've been looking for new casual/dress black shoes that are comfy! There is a DSW shoes here, so went there and found way too much! I really shouldn't wonder why I never have any money leftover! I spend it all here!!! Found a cute mary jane wedge for HALF off!!! Can't beat that! and then found some adorable tennis shoes - I think they are called bikers shoes. They are really light weight and thinner soul, but perfect for running around! Those were a steal too!
Last night we headed to an all you can eat sushi restaurant and I'm pretty sure I'm still full! I didn't even eat that much, but it was soooooooo yummy! I'm fairly certain that is one the only reasons Hubby made the trip! Hehe! One of my parents neighbors watched Little Hauss (they have 2 little girls around the same age) and he had such a good time, he didn't even want to come home!
Today we'll hopefully get to see one of my friends from high school and her family and then my cousins are heading over here later this afternoon for some old fashion game playing! We've got board games, checkers, pool and I'm sure we'll be watching some football!
Fun times....I hate that we'll be leaving tomorrow!

Gingerbread Man, goose egg, and liquid crack

KPC from Look, there's a chicken came over on Tuesday and painted!! She did a fabulous job and I can't wait to see what she will be creating next. Below is her plate she made. She has a few embellishments to do around the edges, but here's what she got done so far:


On another note, I went to pick up Little Hauss yesterday at school and the teacher asked me what happened to his head???? What do you mean, what happened? I look, and there is a HUGE golf ball sized goose egg popping out of his forehead!!!! There is a vertical bruised line in the center of it and it looked horrible. The teacher claims that he noticed after snack and in his defense, I really didn't notice at first because Little Hauss's hair covers most of it. He said he asked Little Hauss about it when he first noticed it, and Little Hauss had conflicting stories. 1- Another kid pushed him into a wall and 2 - it happened at home! Well, Little Hauss did have a run in with the bathtub the previous night, but it was with daddy, so I never knew where he got hurt or if it caused a knot! I assumed if had been that bad, daddy would have definitely said something. So, the teacher and I tried to talk to Little Hauss, but he really wouldn't cooperated and I told teacher that I would get to the bottom of this and let him know today. Well, after Little Hauss had a snack and we had some time to chill at home, both Hubby and I tried to get it out of him. Well, we did and yes in fact another kid had pushed him. Well, by the looks of it, I would think that he was pushed into a corner of two adjoining walls due to the line and size of knot!! I know he's a tough kid, but I would also assume that he cried at least a little!!! So, my concern is, why didn't anyone notice until snack??? AFTER naptime??? Really, that could have been dangerous to let him sleep after such a blow!
Nevertheless, I spoke with teacher this morning at drop off and he will follow up. So, I guess we'll just wait and see. Note: the kid that did the pushing has a few strikes against him already!!
Hubby said, that he might just have to teach Little Hauss another way to handle the situation next time!! That's all I need....

And for the liquid crack, aka starbucks! I have been dragging all week, but knew that with a long trip ahead of me today, I would be in need of something to put the pep back into my step!!! So, I flew through the drive thru this morning on my way to preschool for a very large aka venti coffee!!! It has done the job!!

Now, we are heading to HOTlanta...well, it aint so hot, but it'll be fun!!!

Food, Friendship, and Painting

I'm super excited about my evening! KPC from Look, There's a Chicken is coming over for the evening to perfect her craftiness! She swears she doesn't have the creative juices flowing, but I'm fairly certain she'll do fantastic!
I'm preparing her a light meal of marinated pork loin, roasted asparagus, and sweet potato "chips" with a decedent low cal dessert of angel food cake, berries and cool whip! We are trying to make healthy food choices and lose some weight, so I don't want to spoil all our hard work!
After dinner, we'll be partaking in some glass painting! I will be working on some wine glasses or an olive oil botte perhaps while she will be doing some glass plates!
More than anything I'm excited about the company!
I'll post pictures of our handiwork soon!

Grease is the word....

Its the word, Its the word!!!

One of my all time favorite movies!! It's on tv tonight! YAY for me! I'm recording it to watch after my bubble bath and glass of wine!

I really need to get it on dvd......I think I'll have to put that on my to do list this week!

Better...

No more fever, but still a little worn out. We went out for a friend's 30th surprise birthday last night and I should have stayed home!
I was the DD and we didn't even stay out late, but I think it was the smoke that did me in! My throat was so sore by the time we got home and I was just tired!
We got to "sleep in" until about 8:15 this morning since Little Hauss was at the MIL's. Hubby took me to breakfast and then we picked him up. Good thing he stayed over there last night becasue he was up at 5:30 this morning!!!! He's was passed out before we even got him home!
I did make it to the grocery store at least! Hubby's doing some laundry and I will probably make dinner! That's about all that will get accomplished today!
