Five Things!!

Well, it has been a while since I posted and really, not much has been going on. So I thought I would dig deep and come up with 5 things I am thankful for and 5 things I want to complain about.

I am thankful:

1. that both of my boys are sleeping right now, and that Days of Our Lives is recording on the DVR just waiting for me!

2. that I have eaten healthy for the last two days and exercised.

3. that in 3 short weeks, I get to have another girls weekend!

4. I get to go on a cruise in November. And, I get to think and dream about it everyday until then.

5. I have a warm house to shelter us from the cold and keep us cool in the summer.


5 things I want to complain about:

1. My new camera that I did a ton of research on, and splurged on, is not working, and has probably not ever worked properly. But, I have had it for over three months, so will have to send it back to the manufacturer to get repaired! Ugg@!

2. It is about 40 degrees outside with a windchill of about 30. It is April people. I can't handle this. Plus, we get a sneak peak at nice weather (80deg on Sunday) and then it gets freezing again. Usually on a day that we have soccer or baseball.

3. My husband is going to leave me with 4 children this summer. He is going to be gone for 8 weeks. He is staying in a condo on Coronado Island in San Diego. I can already picture him lounging on the beach drinking a diet coke while I am in the midst of hell.

4. I have to miss Bunco this month because our ward decided to change the date of the Pine Wood derby. I was sure that this was my month to win!

5. My laptop is out of memory and can no longer run Photoshop. Just great! I am probably going to have to spend more money to get an external hard drive. And, then I have to figure out how to get all the stuff off the laptop to the hard drive. I am just not a techy. This sounds like too much work. But remember that girls weekend in just 3 short weeks, I need my laptop to scrapbook. Soooo, I have to figure this out right away. UGGGH!

So, there you have it. This is what you would get if we talked on the phone regularly. And, just so that you don't feel like this is a wasted post, here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.


Notice the trauma on his forehead? He thought it was a good idea to put a stool on his bed during nap time and then try to stand on it.


I just learned how to do ringlets with my flat iron. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me that you aren't supposed to brush them out after you curl them. So, our attempt was a disaster. We will try to improve.
Isn't that cheesecake in her mouth soooooo cute!
Notice how most of the pics are of Nicole? That is because she is just too photogenic. I have just as many of the other three, but none of them are worth posting.
Happy Tuesday!- Alisa
