Pros v. Cons

Today confirms to me the reason I should sleep in. Getting up at 7 instead of 10 gives your day three extra hours. Your day could be stressful three hours earlier. Yes, sleeping in prevents you from getting more done, but it keeps things from going wrong. This morning we got up at 8, which only gave my day an extra two hours, but here are all the things that went wrong:
*A broke all of the candles for the menorah
*A took most of the keys off of my laptop
*A threw his oatmeal all over the dining room, and then with oatmeal covered body sat on my crushed velvet chair

It's not even 10 am and I'm ready to give up on this day! Now R is coming and the mess is multiplied...i love my life :/

Sick, and playing a little bit of catch up

So, we've been sick for about..a month! We were hit with a cold and A and I were breathing through our mouths for about two weeks, then we or I should technically say I got hit with the flu, and now A has Strep. We seriously need to rebuild our immune systems! But, since it's been over a month since I've posted I'll do my best to catch everyone up on the happenings of the past month.

We had a great Christmas, A did a great job opening presents and really enjoyed playing with them. We spent the morning with my brother, Uncle Justin and then spent the afternoon and evening with Grandma Itzel and Papi, and the Aunties. Then, there was new years, A almost made it to the new year, but crashed a little shy of midnight. 

In the past month, we've gotten a hamster (christmas gift) and a cat. Fancy is our little rodent and Mulan is the newer addition, she's our stray calico kitty. A likes her, and she is a pretty good cat, she just kind of walked into our lives. We were at my parents house for my step mom's birthday and Mulan just followed my step mom into the house, it was just like this was her home and she was so comfortable. We gave her a little food and water, and she stuck around. We ended up with her a little over a week later. 

We also went to visit GiGi and Grandpa Dan and the little Aunties and Uncles. A had a blast playing with everyone and he actually got to play on their playground and with the chickens. He got to help GiGi collect the eggs! We also got to make a trip to IKEA, where I had most of the fun. It was a stressful situation (A was a pill, with no nap!), but it was fun, and we got lots of cool stuff, mostly for the kitchen! 

This week was Valentine's day, and we didn't do much, just ran a few errands and had Thai food for dinner. We ended the night watching The Bachelor and my favorite show, Castle! 

Now that I'm feeling better, hopefully I'll be able to keep a more steady stream of posts so you don't have to bite off a month at a time...Sorry!
