One more.
I am super prepared for my first adventure as the 3 year old Sunday School teacher with bags packed full of snacks, supplies and props Saturday night. I alone get both kids out to the door fully clothed after a bath for both feeling extra proud and even more prepared. (D had a 9 a.m. appt.) I get to Sunday school, unpack and can't find my lesson binder or my notes anywhere...oops, last minute preparing led to me taking them out of the bag and never replacing them. Oh well, we got the gist of the lesson and when I asked Riley later what he learned he replied "When I am a bad boy, God still loves me." Epic success if I do say so myself : )! I am still singing "Jump forward, step back, wave your hands in the air and clap," over and over to myself though!
Picture this: To celebrate 1 whole year of a potty trained Riley we defy the weather and head to Como Town on Saturday with Riley's favorite person Owen! They have a blast together riding the rails, cars and chowing down. It was a special morning with just my little man and on the way home we had to make an emergency stop because the boy had to pee so we pulled over, pulled it out and peed. Boys are so easy like that : ) We also came home with a sucker and a 5 foot stuffed snake. He loves that thing. Walks around with it everywhere and keeps telling me "hank you mommy for mine nake, I just wove him so much." He also looked at D and said "Daddy me just so happy!" Doesn't take much to please this boy!
Picture this: My cute children, one blue-eyed, blonde beauty and my brown-eyed, brown haired handsome man. Swoon!
Picture this: D and I in Vegas in December alone for the first time in 3.5 years for more than a day. Eating without interruptions and sleeping like teenagers. Yay! We booked our Vegas trip and head out Dec 15th! Now do we sleep the whole 3 days away or will we get out and have us some fun!?
Picture this: Lyssa Lu loving on Deuce. She watches him like a hawk and just loves to touch him and get herself all full of his hair. It's sweet and weird to think back to not long ago when Riley was the same age with the same obsession!
Picture this: A Friday night out to dinner with margaritas for all, 'cept the littles. I was possibly, just a bit pleasantly buzzed up after so we had a dance party as desert and Lyssa Lu loves her some Fitty Cent circa 2001. (the edited version people!) I can see how with kids and work people like a glass of wine with dinner. I giggled and laughed the whole night off of one very yummy marg!
Picture this: After church Sunday both kids were exhausted. Riley napped for 2 hours and Lyssa Lu for 3.5. This means we watched/napped alone in the LR with the game on just like we used to when Riley was a newbie. Ahh, I love me some Sunday football!
Picture this: The horrible and ever spreading rash all over my hands and now my arms-diagnosed by D. He casually mentioned that maybe it was due to the Aveda (art and science of pure flower and plant extracts) that I use in my hair and low and behold a light bulb went off in my head. I am ALLERGIC to plants and flowers, stopped usage and the rash is slowly but surely disappearing.
Picture this: I finish one of the best books I have ever read in Goodyear while getting my oil changed. I look around to make sure I am alone as I hug my book at the end and smile at just how wonderful it was! I then stop by the library to get the 6th Harry Potter book cause Mama's got to have a book to read!
Picture this: Annie and me shooting our first wedding together this Saturday! EEK! What seemed so far off is now upon us and I am nervous and pumped up hoping to make all proud, plus I am really, really looking forward to Hotel Minneapolis and the sit down dinner we are going to be served. The extra 5 hundy makes it all worth it too! : )
Picture this: I spike Alyssa's hair out of habit from when she was an infant and I tried to make up for her little hair by mohawking it. Now at church everyone knows her by her signature mohawk. A friend/fellow preschooler Mom brought her to the nursery for me and just from seeing the back of her head my Mom knew it was her walking by from that blonde spike.

| The Lyssi Lu signature "spike" |
Picture this: Lyssi Lu just wore her first pair of skinny jeans...My gosh I love dressing this little love up. I have never cared what I look like but with her I just love the shoes, the skinny jeans, the cardi's and dresses! This could be dangerous people!
Picture this: Goodness, I am going to be 29 this year! I have big plans of living life to the max my last year in the 20's!
Picture this: My parents are cruising this February which gives me the perfect excuse to take that whole week of my little Lyssa's birthday week off! : )
Picture this: Riley had a blast at his second day of preschool and made us all hungry talking about the "cacker faces" they made for snacks. Ritz cracker, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and licorice. Yes, PLEASE!
Picture this: I am a hyper organized person and with my life planner it is all the more fun...notes, day to day calendars, fun quotes and pretty colors make this lady happy!
Picture this: Another week is upon us anew and I am keeping my fingers crossed for freezing temps...excuse me but my allergies are so bad the inside of me mouth itches something fierce. I might have had to use a fork to itch, that is bad! So spare the mellow drama about the frost. I need it and then the temps can go back up to the 60's maybe even the 70's but the frost is a necessary evil in my world!
Happy new week! Make it a good one!
and I don't know if this will work but see if you can watch this video...this boy of mine...sigh...is getting so big!
