7 Quick Takes Friday (Volume 4)

Can you believe I'm still doing this?

Join Jen for more.

Here's my not so quick takes:

(really, I'm working on being quick, it's just I have so many pictures to show)

-1-

Last year, Christine told me she leaves her hubby notes every day til Valentine's day,

I thought that was such a great idea to show my love for my husband,

I did it too.

This year, I'm doing it again.

SO each day I write

a note and hide it somewhere he will find it.

Sometimes it's a sweet note,

sometimes it's a more sexy note,

sometimes it's a love and respect note,

and

sometimes it has a special treat with it.

It's so fun to do and I can tell my hubby loves it.

And, I get a kiss every time he finds his note.

Anyone watch the office last night?

Did you scream with excitement and yell "woo hoo!"

when Michael and Holly finally kissed?

Oh, me either.

No, I really did!!

I do so hope when Michael leaves the show, he goes off with Holly.

I love them together.

Anyone want to talk "The Office"?

Like, who will replace Michael?

Did you see last week, they had the man who is the star of the English Office on?

Now, he'd be a great replacement!!

It will have to be someone good.

-3-

I'm still working out every day, except Sunday.

(but I'm going to add Sunday)

I'm still getting up early, but

Yesterday I didn't get up early and didn't workout til 8pm!

I was in my workout outfit til then, waiting for that "window of opportunity"

to workout, but it didn't happen til 8pm!

This DVD is a new favorite.

I got it at Wal-mart for $10

I weigh Monday.

We'll see if any poundage lostage.

None yet.

I did take measurements though, so I'll wait a couple weeks on that one.

I DO feel soooooo gooooood though.

It's like my "core" is better.

I have more energy.

Except when I sit down to nurse baby....I doze off....while reading stories to the kiddos.....

Wake up mom!!

-4-

We have a new piano player in our home!

Mary Hannah started lessons last week and loves it!!

I always love listening to the kiddos practicing!

I think I'll frame this picture and put it on the piano.

-5-
We also have a new artist in our home.....

Look! Her first painting!!!

Look it's all over the counter.....

and her legs.....

Pink painting for February....

Add a little white to pink and red,

what happens?

Bright pink.....it gets us through February....

-6-

Everyone in our home has been sick these past 2 weeks.

We've gone through

runny noses,

coughs,

sore throats,

stomach aches,

fevers,

Ear infections,

pukes,

diarrhea

and

eye infections

Not in any particular order, just a bunch of stuff, each day something different.

except

This mama did not get any of it...

yet.

(maybe because of #3?)

I did have lots of little sleep nights though.

This might be a little R rated, depending on how you look at it, so beware!

When taking a bath with your 6 year old, you might have some interesting questions.

Questions you are not really ready to discuss with her.

like:

6 year old: When can I shave my legs?

Mom: When your hairs turn black, see your hairs are almost clear?

or

6 year old: Will I get hair on my bottom? (she means the "front part" if you know what I mean)

Mom: Yes. When you are a teenager.

6 year old: Do all teenagers have hair on their bottoms?

Mom: Uh, yep.

6 year old: Does Melissa? (our old babysitter, who is now 20)
Mom: Yep, she does.

6 year old: Will my hair be black?

Mom: Ummmm, proooobably, but maybe not, I don't know, probably.

Maybe you shouldn't take a bath with mama anymore honey.

***Have a great weekend everyone!!

Minnesota is in a temporary warm up, til Monday!!

It's supposed to be 33 degrees today!!!
