Whack-a-Mole

John's cousin sent this fun game to Jack for Christmas and we finally got it out of the box and played with it last night. The craziness from Christmas is finally just starting to calm down a bit - and our house is starting to look less like a toy store. So we're having fun enjoying the new stuff and getting ready to weed out some of the things that Jack has outgrown.

Last night's family time included a game a Yahtzee (John and I played our own game while Jack just played with a cup of his own dice. Fun for all of us) and several games of Whack-a-Mole. Jack loved whacking the moles :) and was extremely satisfied every time he got one when it was actually lit up!

My undergarments are famous

I was just checking the link tracker on my blog for the first time in FOREVER - and you know where I get my most hits from? Google image searches for UNDERWEAR from this post about my organized underwear drawer. Who knew!?

Football and stuff

We had two other families over last night to watch the Eagles game. They brought all the food. WOW. Lots of food. It was so good. Jack really enjoyed playing with the kids. And the Eagles won. For what more can I ask? It was a good time :)

Today is Monday. I love Mondays. It's just about the only day where we never have anything on the schedule. So it's a day to get caught up from the weekend, stay in our jammies, do laundry, cleaning, filing, etc. And it's raining today - such a perfect day to stay home. We do need to go grocery shopping, though, in a big way. I might put it off until tomorrow.

I hope to do a little scrapbooking today, too. I have these amazing pictures from over the summer of Jack his cousins and I am itching to do something with them. And some cards, too. I was looking at Tammy's (from the Scrap Spot) YouTube videos "Tips and Techniques" and she had this great idea to cut your cardstock scraps into 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" after working on a project and then you have all these pieces of cardstock ready to turn into cards. It's genius. So I want to go through my scraps today and cut the big ones to that size. Then I can just go to it to pull cardstock for cards when I want to make a card. Fun :)

So there's a big of my to-do list for today. I know I won't get it all done. I never do. For instance, it's 11 AM and I haven't done anything yet - except make a to-do list *eyeroll* But making the list is fun for me :) Getting stuff done is the icing.

A New Year - A New Blogger

Oh, I've been a BAD blogger. I admit it. So, ok... it's a new year and I vow to start blogging again. Actually, one of my goals for the new year was to start keeping a journal. Then I thought - "Duh! You have a blog and can't even keep up with that!" So instead of writing it down, I will type it here. There. Done.

So... a little update (for my devoted fans - HA!)

Jack turned three in November. He is poopie trained, but not pee pee. (It's my biggest struggle with him) And he got a train table for Christmas, which is as good for ME as it is for him. Because I can actually get some stuff done while he spends a pretty good portion of his day at that table. He loves it.

My business is doing well. I've been selling out pretty quickly the past few months and have added a new design team to the site. Very exciting stuff going on at Cool Blue.

Heading out to California at the end of this month to visit my cousin, Cindee, and to attend Winter CHA. So while things are supposed to slow down after the Christmas season is over, it just keeps getting busier and busier for me. I can't complain, though. Although, portions of my house are not fit for human habitation. But that's another new year goal *eyeroll*

OK - off to check on the laundry.
