A storm is supposedly coming tomorrow.... and through the weekend. More snow, more cold. Please don't tell me I'm the only one who just wants this.... I have a busy toddler who is ready to run in the grass! And I have some legs that need some sun! :)
Until then, I will look longingly through all my pictures of last spring/summer. Go look through yours.... Agree with me yet?

I Love Us!

Thanks Hallmark for the cheesy Valentines Day quote! :) Cheesy or not, it's perfect!

I got my Valentines Day present early! A little scavenger hunt with roses and chocolate covered strawberries....and at the end I found this!!!The 2nd band on my wedding ring! LOVE it! LOVE him! LOVE getting spoiled! :)

I also was given this....

The sweetest valentines card from the sweetest little boy! (Thanks G-ma Brown for helping him make this!)

So... what did I do to show the people I love they are special? Well I can't measure up to what the hubs did. BUT I tried. Jaxon woke up to a balloon, a firetruck, some mini dinosaurs, and candy!

Yes, I let him have a sucker at 8:30 in the morning! It's Valentines Day! He needed to feel the love too! :)

Then, balloons, flowers and bagels hand delivered by yours truly and a grumpy toddler to my sister and mom. We also took Joel his favorite lunch! We spared him the balloons! AND that night Joel and I went and got a couples massage!

Hope your Valentines Day was lovey-dovey, romantic and fun! I love my Valentine! (who I didn't take a picture with! Sad!) And I love my mini Valentine! :)

Yep, Terrible Twos

I went to Smiths today, but I went at 1:00.... naptime! Bad Idea, I know! So I rushed through grabbing the things we needed the MOST! I wanted to avoid a melt down!

So far so good....
UNITL....

The Checkout!

Now someone please explain why something about the check out stand means run away.

Ugh! So I pick up my runaway child, and that did it! You moms out there know what I mean! The kicking, screaming, "the world is ending" kind of fit! Joy.

{Of course I got death glares from half the people around me... Listen old grumpy man in the aisle NEXT to me, I AM TRYING HERE OK!! And I am not holding up your line! So enough with the glares and scoffs! Besides I stood behind you at the deli and you took a freaking year to decide what kind of ham you wanted!}

Ok, moving on to the point of the story! Of course this is all happening as my things are being rung up. So I know in about 1 minute I have to stop the wrestling match, pull out my credit card, enter my pin, answer all the stupid "cash back?" "is this amount ok?" blah blah blah!

I tried it all... "Jaxon do you want a treat? Do you want your juice? Where's lightning mcqueen? Jaxon stop, that's enough."

All the sudden the cashier lady says "Jaxon, do you want a sticker?"

This threw us both off guard, 1. because she used his name and 2. because let's be honest, she looked a little mean!

IMMEDIATELY Jaxon STOPS. everything... no crying, whining, kicking, screaming. This angelic face appears saying "Sticky, Sticky, Sticky!" (sticker) And he sat in the cart the rest of the time quietly playing with his "sticky'!

Thank you check out lady at Smiths! You saved what was left of my sanity! :)
As we were leaving, I told Jaxon to say thank you. Instead he blew her a kiss!

:)

The sun was out today!!! Deceiving because it was still freezing, but it was sunny! It brightened my week!As much fun as this snow was for Jaxon, I hope Punxsuntawney Phil was right this year! I am ready for spring! :)
