My favorite part of the day.

Is at night right before bed. Now don't get me wrong I love being woken up (should that be waken?) by my dear lil man on some morning and hear him say "Mommy I need you" yes he's 4 but he still needs mommy to come in his room before he gets out of bed. I love the alone time that he and I have in the morning getting ready for school and work it's some of our best conversation time...and I love the time after work I spend on my hands and knees playing with trucks and tractors and legos. But I really really love that time right before bed that my husband and I spend just talking...no tv...no little voices interupting our conversation just the two of us talking. Now mind you most of these late night chats usually start with a sentance like "Dalton said the funniest thing today" or "Can you believe how much he seems to have changed just this week" but it's still "our" time together.

What really makes me mad though is when he is on 3p.m. to 11p.m. shift and I have to stay up extra late to have this chat. But my awesome man totally switched shifts next week so no 3-11 for awhile.

Speaking of the statements from that 4 year old here are just a few.

Not getting his way..."I'm just gonna be grumpy"

Asking about his day at school yesterday..."why do we always have to talk about this"

When we walked in the door from school..."I was thinking I will go down stairs and play my new computer...did you think that too?"

And my favorite on his counting page out of a workbook for school that has 8 birds on it and we're asking him to point at them and count them for us..."you're not supposed to count these just color them"

Have a great hump day!

Wordless (almost) Wednesday

I turned 4 Monday...this is me at my family birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. My mom hasn't had time to blog about it but she might tomorrow if we have a snow day!

Good thing Santa's bringing Dalton a Sled for Christmas...

Dalton's KOFO Christmas Greeting

This is playing about 4 times a day at the station and it melts my heart every time I hear it. He did this last week when he came to work with me. He had a cold at the time...but it still sounds pretty much like him! Merry Christmas!!!!

Even Jacob is Team Edward

I didn't get to watch this Saturday night but found this clip earlier today.



Hope ya'll are ready for Christmas. I will finish shopping Saturday!!! Yes nothing like the last minute!

If you haven't seen this

You really really should!!!! I almost cried many many times during this movie. It's based on a true story and makes my heart swell knowing that people out there still have this much compassion for others. I don't want to tell you too much but you really should watch this movie!!! This is what Rocky and I did yesterday for his birthday date. The last time we went to see a movie together was just about 3 years ago on Dalton's 1st birthday. It was nice to cuddle in the theater with my sweets :) We also were able to get almost all of Dalton's Christmas presents yesterday. All we have left are a new pair of cowboy boots (it's a tradition he gets new boots for christmas) some coveralls and a sled. We may hold the coveralls and sled for his birthday...which by the way is 10 days after Christmas!!! Poor kid has to wait all year long to get presents and then gets them in a span of about 20 days. Oh well that means he gets them good and used before the next year.

This weekend I also got to feel what it was like having multiple children. I had three extra kids this weekend...and have come to believe you people out there with more than 1 child must spend almost all of your "free" time cleaning the house. OMGness I don't think I set down the whole time they were all here except for to sleep. I told Rocky lets have two more...he says one more and were done...geez he's no fun...lol.

I L.O.V.E this time of year and hope ya'll are in full holiday cheer mode!!!
