Yesterday turned out to be a great day. Woke up about 9am, got me and Pen breakfast, then promptly went to my comfy place on the couch under the most amazingly softest blanket my sister gave at Christmas from IKEA (LOVE THAT STORE). Anyways, as I was lounging there sipping my coffee and eating home made granola, I was thinking about my day, what I wanted to do! I was looking out the window at the time and noticed how spring the outside looked, despite being in the begining of January. I then began thinking that if it looks like spring then it should feel like it too!! Excited to find out, hopped of the couch and opened the door wide as it would go! At that moment it was as if I had been transport to a special place where life never ends and all is right with the world. It was as if the sun came down and kissed me. (I assumed that's what is meant when someone says they are "sun-kissed"). I had a joy in my heart and a hop in my step! Today was going to be great. I went back in and resumed my spot on the couch, still looking out the window when I noticed this....
The cutest little birds finally eating from the feeder again! It's been a long few months with out being able to watch these amazing creatures, created by God's hands to fill our hearts and homes with joy! I was so shocked to see them, but then again outside didn't feel like winter! I decided to check to see if my Camelias were blooming too and to my surprise they are!
It's a triple happiness day for me! After seeing and feeling all that I knew I was going to blog about that! Today on the other hand is no good...it's cold and windy :(
It was closing in on lunchtime now and by this time I had already played with Play-doh, dolls, changed diapers, gotten snacks, juice, more coffee :D I LOVE COFFEE! We sang and danced and watched a little bit of Mrs. Spiders Adventures (kinda creepy looking, but she likes it). We had a surprised visitor yesertday for lunch! Daddy came home to eat with us! We were happy to see him. She began telling him all about our morning and ran around in the house saying "can't get me!!" squeeling while running down the hallway to our room to "do hide" as she calls it! She is the most awesomest kiddo ever! She is growing and changing everyday into a very smart and beautiful little girl! Where did my baby go? Guess it's time to start thinking about number 3! Daddy's lunch hour went by quickly like normal and he was heading back to work. By now its getting to be nap-time, which mean blog-time to me! I decided to let her jump around and roll all over me and my bed to wear her out! We/she did that for about 30 minuted straight. 1:00p she was in the bed and no kidding 1:05p she was out cold! SUCCESS! Now it was my time. I settled down in my "blogging spot", my bed under a blanket propped up with some pillows :) I pulled out the computer opened my page and .........NOTHING! What, I couldn't think of what I was going to write about. I knew what i was going to say, but for some reason the words were just not there. I felt defeated for the moment. I closed and moved the computer. I rearranged the pillows and dove in my other passion, READING! I pulled out my Nook, thanks to my awesome parents for that Christmas gift!!! So, this is what the follow few hours looked like.....
I'm currently on Chapter 11. this is a really good book and an easy read! I consider this part of my inspiration and training for an upcoming 5K I am participating in on March 3 2011. I definitely would suggest this book to anyone. Just a quick heads up, this book does have some "potty" words, so if those offend you I would suggest to use your judgement. Don't ask me if it's fiction or non-fiction because I could never tell the two apart. To me it's a book with words and characters. When I read books, they come alive to me as if they were real. That's basically how I read everything. :D
Now we fast forward to my favorite part of Thursday's aside from being with my family all day....I am taking the Course 2 cake decorating class from A.C. Moore from 6:30-8:30p. This month we are learning about royal icing and all the awesome ways it can be used. Last night was the first class and by the end I made 30 violets and 10 pansies! It was so much fun! What's so great about the royal icing is that once you have made the flowers and left them out to dry for a few days you can keep them basically FOREVER! In class the longevity of royal icing flowers was compared to that of a Twinkie, which in case some of you didn't know went bankrupt like 2 days ago!! No more Twinkies EVER...what are my kids going to eat now?? Wait, she's never had it before, too much sugar! haha. Anyways here's a picture of the flowers.....
Well, that was basically all that was included in my yesterday, aside from Pen not wanting to go to bed so she sat in ours watching Yo Gabba Gabba on our phone until 1:00AM...Good thing I'm a SAHM! I hope you all have enjoyed reading this post today, now that it took up almost your whole day! LOL
If you like me so far, follow me!
