Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning....

It never ends esp. when you have kiddos running around. I cleaned out our spare bedroom this weekend and boy was that a chore. I have to paint the closet and get the room ready for Owens big boy room. We wont move him in for quite sometime but its nice to have time to get things moved out and ready. We use that room for laundry so it is interesting trying to find alternatives since were in such a habit of folding and sorting in there.

Eric is getting anxious to get out to spear that big sturgeon. They got their shantys ready and moved this weekend so now its a waiting game until this weekend.

Have you Heard!!!

Have you heard!!!! Eric and I are expecting baby #2 and were pretty excited. I am 10 weeks and 3 days today so almost through the first trimester. Havent realy been sick except for feeling nauseaus most of the day. Its becoming a normal feeling for me so I havent been thinking twice about it. Hoping it goes away after the first trimester (12 weeks). I cant belive how fast time is going with this pregnancy. I think its because were so busy with Owen and life in general that I really dont have time to stop and think about it as much as I did with the first one... AND YES, I know we will be even busier, I am fully aware : ) Well keep you posted on how things are going.

Snowed In...

Were snowed in today. We cant get out of our driveway the snow is so deep. The plows made one sweep late this a.m. Eric's dad tried plowing and slid off his driveway into the ditch. Numerous people showed up from the neighborhood to help but they cant get him out. He also blew a tire when he hit the culvert. So I am not real sure when we will get plowed out. We have a big driveway and we dont have a snow blower so I guess we have to wait to see what happens. Owen has a doctors appt tomorrow in the afternoon so I hope we get out. Plus I have to go to work. Eric said its really slippery out, lots of black ice. I got presents wrapped, cards addressed and chili made. The fire is keeping us warm today as the wind picks up and it starts getting colder.

Ready for Christmas!

Well I was complaining earlier in the week and weekend that I was not ready for Christmas or decorating. I had no motivation to pull out the decorations for Christmas. This morning Eric went out hunting and Owen and I got enough energy to pull out the decorations and decorate the house. It looks pretty but I must say I am still not in the mood. I think its the lack of snow which I am very happy we don't have but it doesn't set the mood for Christmas very well. So I am sure I will regret this but a little snow would be nice... especially if its going to be cold.

I got most of my shopping done. A few more little things and I should be all set. I am not looking forward to any more shopping now that's its getting closer to Christmas. It just means lots of traffic and lots of lines. I have done most of my shopping on-line which works well.

Happy Birthday Grams and Nikki

Happy Birthday to Grandma (yesterday) and me today! I cant belive I am 25 today. I dont know why but that freaks me out.

Mom took Owen overnight (his first sleepover) on Friday and we ended up staying home and ordering food. Saturday Eric had to coach Basketball so we were out and about all day running errands after the game.

Saturday night Laura came over to watch Owen and we went out to dinner and a movie. We had a really nice time.

I got a new kitchen sink and a new toilet and flooring for our master bathroom for my Birthday. It looks so nice. Andy came and installed it all yesterday, of course something easy took longer than expected.

A True Boy!

Owen is definatly a true all american boy! He has so many bumps and bruises. He ran into the bathroom door frame and has a big bruise on his cheek. He has one under his eye too from trying to climb in a basket. Good thing he is tough. I will try and post a picture later today.
