Another Valentines Day over with....and my rant...

I've never really been a HUGE Valentine celebrator. Even more so now that the hubby works out of town and is gone for this "holiday". That in my opinion is highly over-rated. But whatevs. I got the kids a card and we went out to lunch. I got leftover candy and hugs. Best day ever :)

 Why do we need a certain day set aside to buy flowers, candy and a card? You know what I love about my love with my husband? We do those kinds of things (minus the flowers...cause I'm horrible at keeping them alive and to me its a HUGE waste of money for something that will just die) through out the year. We have our date nights, movie nights in, lunch dates, he cleans the house, he cooks dinner, takes the kids to school and piano just to give me a break when he's home. Yup, best husband ever. Hes been there through some of my pretty rough moments over the years as I dealt with some health issues and hair loss, and he never once skipped a beat in loving me and taking great care of me. To me that's deserving of Valentines all year long. Not just during an overly commercialized day.
According to the news 19 Billion dollars was spent for this "holiday" and that's actually gross to me. You are all SUCKERS! and not the good heart shaped ones either :)

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

LOOK! LISTEN!

He looks so big sitting on this little truck. The little truck that plays the most annoying music in the house. I am a weird mom! I refuse to remove any batteries from any toy that we buy him or that he receives as a gift. They are musical and educational and he loves to dance to the songs. So I will not take that from him....but its still annoying nonetheless.... Anyway...I am so proud of how fast he learns to do everything and that he is as independent as his little self can be. He loves to listen to the 2 songs on this little truck. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Do You Know the Muffin Man are constantly playing. He is a big boy now. He isn't my little baby bundled up anymore......
