Black Friday!

I was up at 3 AM this morning to go out and find some good deals! Grandpa Hild stayed the night here so he could watch Jacob and Daddy went to work. Got myself a cheap (crappy) video camera from JC Penny's and then on to Wal-Mart to watch heads roll. My mom fell ill, so Jeremy and I took her home and made our way to Menard's to see the action there. Mostly, we are really bored people. We didn't buy anything from these stores, we just wanted to go and add to the hustle bustle! We had fun. Breakfast at Hy-Vee, then a short Jeep ride for Jacob and home we went. Later I will go out to Target and see if there's anything left to buy. We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. I ate peanut butter pie from Perkins! When I figure it out, I might post a video from my new camera! But, don't hold your breath because it might not happen today. There are naps to be had.

Sick...

Today we stayed home sick from work. Jacob's cough has been so terrible! He can hardly catch his breath at night. So, I took him back to the doctor and she said he's fine. He has a cold. She told me to give him Claritin, which would be fine except he can't have it until after his allergy testing (next Monday) and hopefully by then this cough is gone! But, we had a nice relaxing day at home. We watched TV and snuggled on the sofa. We ate junk food (what else is new) and played trains. We went to the bread store and got bread and donuts. Daddy is home now and they are playing trains in the basement. Tomorrow is back to work, but only for tomorrow and Wednesday! I am excited about the short week, and also to eat all the food on Thanksgiving! On Wednesday night we are going to see Sesame Street Live, well that's the plan anyways! Jacob wants to see Elmo, so hopefully he's there! Have a nice day everyone!

200th Post Spectacular

This is what happened at the grocery store. Well, technically, on the way home from the grocery store. Burger and I wanted Starbucks and kid's drinks are $1.10. Jacob always gets mad when we have coffee, so we got him hot chocolate. He thought he was pretty hot stuff! Super cute photo op. Also, when we got home Jacob said he was pooping so I put him on the toilet. He pooped on the toilet for the very first time! That's how you know you're a parent. When you blog about poop and Starbucks on the same post. Oh well, I've gotten used to it! This right here is my 200th post on this blog. Burger is pretty excited, he picked the title.

Saturday Morning

Jacob and I have been up since 4 o'clock this morning. He had the nastiest dry cough and couldn't sleep because of it. We hung out n the sofa and then pancakes for breakfast. It snowed through the night and Jacob was so excited to see the 'snow mans' on the ground this morning! He wanted to put his boots on and check out the snow, so we did. Right now we are on the way to the grocery store. Later Burger and I are planning on taping up Jacob's room so we can paint it tomorrow. I'll try to keep you posted.

This is a totally random picture of a squirrel that Burger found online the other day. I thought it was really cool. I forgot where the squirrel is from and what his story is, but he is still cool to look at! Today I just want to say how happy I am that I have a leather sofa. I never thought that I would like it this much, but I do! Jacob spilled juice on it yesterday and I just wiped it up. I buy leather cleaner wipes that are made for leather in cars, but they are so much easier to use than a sponge and liquid leather cleaner. Anyhow, it takes me like ten minutes to pull the cushions off and wipe the whole sofa down and then vacuum under the cushions. It's amazing! With a regular sofa I would have to rent special equipment to get my sofa this clean and would never be able to do it as often! So, I love my leather sofa and think everyone with kids (or pets) should totally have one! In other news, Jacob is on medicine again for yet another rash. He is going to have allergy testing done on December 1. Hopefully that will be able to help us help him stay healthy and rash-free! The poor boy. I don't think he even knows what it feels like to have regular, non-itchy skin. So, December 1 is a big day for us! Send us good luck vibes! Also, I am feeling Emrick move around like crazy which means that she must be running out of room in there! Burger has yet to feel her because he is not patient enough. Does that surprise anyone? Tonight we are having chicken tacos for dinner, and my mouth is already watering. I am making the chicken in the crock pot and can smell in my entire house! I am so ready to scarf down chicken tacos! So, the moral of the story today is: Buy leather sofas and eat chicken tacos. The end.

This is the swing we have picked out! I think it's beautiful and just wanted to share it with everyone! Today was just a Monday. Work was fine, everything was fine. I'm just a little bored. Tomorrow Jacob has gymnastics in the morning, so we are all looking forward to that. Burger made beef and noodles for dinner with the left over roast from last night. We haven't eaten yet, so I will have to update you later on how the beef and noodles tastes. But Burger made it, so it should be edible, at least! He's a good cook, I'm a pretty lucky lady! Well, we are going to eat dinner now then take tubs and it's off to bed for Jacob. He hasn't been taking naps lately so he's a real peach in the evenings. Hope every one's week got off to a good start!
