Vacation Planned

Oh, how I wish his little feet were that tiny still! We planned our trip for the beach! We can't really do a typical vacation like everyone else because I don't get paid time off with a part time job, but we can still make a really nice vacation with what I do get!

We are going in June to the beach and thankfully no one else had booked the condo, so we should have a great 6 days away! I'm so excited to take LH this year mostly because it will be really warm! Now, its been warm enough for laying on the sand in a bathing suit when we've taken him before, but the water was usually never warm enough for him to really enjoy! It didn't seem to phase him any, but this time we'll all be able to enjoy it!

I'm sure I'll be a beauty at about 7 months pregnant!!!! Thank goodness I plan on taking some good books and staying put in my chair!

Good Ol' Vitamin D

Oh, the sunshine was back this weekend....in full!

We enjoyed being outside playing at the park and with friends! I sported flip flops with pants and a jacket, but who cares!! I even let LH wear shorts yesterday!!! I know he should have been in pants really, but it was just too pretty!!!

I'm hoping that it will stick around and Spring is going to come afterall. I was a little concerned that it might hide out and bypass us this year! Only down side is that we lose an hour of sleep this weekend, but I can deal with that!

Hubby leaves for a golf trip tomorrow - for SIX days! He's very excited - me notsomuch. I'm glad he's going and will have a chance to really get away from work and stress and just relax, but we will miss him! I don't care that he's leaving, but it just happened to be the week that I had something scheduled every single night!!! Oh well, spending time with little man is way more fun than meetings at church and girls' nights out! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like being a single mommy!!! Yep, I'm sure! Hats off to those of you who do it everyday!!!

There are some positives to being home more this week - I will finally finish up going through my closet and switching the regular clothes with maternity clothes!! WOW, I am having a rough time finding things that fit NOW. I wish they had an inbetween maternity line....the "I'm really not just fat, but really am pregnant" clothes that you need around the 15th-16th week through about 22 weeks or so.....
Also, I am going to work on stuffing Easter Eggs for the church, cleaning out LH's room (yep, haven't done that yet), working on the "nursery" (kind of turning into a catch all room again), and possibly working in the basement getting it "finished" looking.

All this really depends on the weather!! I seem to drop all responsibilities when the sun is shining and we have an opportunity to enjoy spending time outside. I have time!! HA! I keep saying this, but it will sneak up on me, I know!

Fashion Statement

Here is what I'm thinking for LH's Easter outfit. I already have the pants, the shirt and the shoes! I think the sweatervest/sock combo is just toooooo cute! He will look so handsome!

Shirt is from Hartstrings! I love going to the outlet and getting nice quality clothes for him at a great price! I am not even sure this shirt has ever been worn yet!

The socks and vest are from Children's Place! I'm not huge on matchy matchy, but I think these are adorable!

The shoes are not the exact ones he has but very similar - he has dark laces! I got them on clearance from JC Penneys last year!

More....

A friend of mine sent me this factsheet from PETA about fish!

Its very interesting. Did you know that they can make tools? Hmmmm, amazingly enough they didn't specify what kind of tools, or how they use them!

Oh, and I love the one about downloading a colorful screensaver if you want to "view" the fish instead of having them in a tank!

WOW!!!

Next they will be concerning themselves with using bug spray as it shouldn't interfere with the lives of pesty insects!

Fish have feelings too

PETA would have a field day with me.

I just read THIS article and had to chuckle. At least it made me smile this morning.

I am an animal lover, really! I have dogs and think that treating any animal unfairly is wrong, but I am not a PETA activist nor do I agree with all their silly views.

I thinking hunting is perfectly ok and I eat all kinds of meat. I don't really go for fur, but I have leather bags, shoes and coats.

I think starving animals and beating them and making them fight is cruel, but putting fish in a fish tank is well, its a fish tank! The article is saying PETA is against putting fish in "captivity". I love 'Finding Nemo' just as much as the next person, but really? I am pretty sure real fish don't sit around and chat about trying to escape. Plus, they are fed and have pretty things to look at, so I'm sure they are pretty happy! I guess its better than being afraid you are going to be eaten by a big shark in the big dark blue!

Hippity Hoppity

Easter's on its way!

I know its a little early, but I've already got LH's easter basket ready - well, the stuff to put in it anyway! I was kind of afraid to wait until closer to the date because I've noticed stores don't have as much this year. I didn't want to get the bottom of the barrel! I do need to pick up some Jelly Belly Jelly Beans and I'll be done!

Here are a few pictures from the past years! He's such a growing boy!

I also need to make sure we have something for him to wear to Church for Easter. He missed it last year because we were at the beach, but we are staying put this year! I don't want to spend a lot of money but I might have to search for a new sweater vest!!! He looks so cute in them! Oh, and maybe a tie. He was wanting to wear one last week!
