things i'm looking forward to...

the past week or so has been relatively warm and i'm loving it =)

and if you know me at all...you know how much i love, love, love

wearing flip flops!!! my husband gets so irritated that i wear them ALL the time!!! ha!

we all know that when you wear flip flops you HAVE to have pretty toes and feet.

which means i must get a pedicure STAT!!!

i'm trying to get Jim to understand that a pedicure is just gonna be a part of what i do every month or so... :o)

i love getting pedicures and trying to carry on a conversation with the sweet lil ladies that i can never understand.

i'm also looking forward to sundresses!!!

i love how comfortable they are and that you can wear flip flops, boots, or cute sandals, wedges, etc with them =)

i'm also looking forward to the possibility of 'cutting bangs'!!

i'm not quite sure if i want to.

i have this 'cowlick' thing going on...i need to go see my friend adrianne and see if we can work it out.

side swept bangs may be in the near future =)

so...what are you looking forward to as spring approaches?

a little of this and a little of that

Yesterday, i was quite productive =)

i love the way being productive makes me feel...

i should do it more often. ha!

i was determined to:

1 - go to the gym and run 3 miles - check.

2 - wrap the gifts that i've purchased so far -- check.

3 - clean -- i can't put a check next to this one.

i did clean some but, i didn't finish. boo.

AND...we finally had a night at home so, i made a pot of Lentil Chili

b/c it feels like the North Pole around here.

it's so surprising for GA to have this kind of weather in December...i'm loving it =)

it will be nice to have a cold, Christmas in GA instead of 70 degree weather - ha!!!

i'm secretly praying for a white christmas!

a girl can dream, right?!?!

i'm really looking forward to Elijah being out of school and not having a schedule to follow.

i have a few things up my sleeve to do with them while we are on Christmas break!!

Elijah is counting down the days til Christmas and i love seeing the 'JOY' and 'EXCITEMENT' in his face =)

John Daniel, is also getting in on the excitement and it's so much fun.

Whenever he sees a christmas tree he thinks it should have a train ornament b/c ours does and this boy LOVES, LOVES, LOVES trains =)

there is a christmas tree at the gym that we have to look at everyday...and each time he says...

mommy, this 'christmas' (tree) doesn't have a 'cwane' (train) -- ha!!!

he has a 'cwane' book that he has taken everywhere the last few days...

(it's poor quality b/c it was taken with my phone)

i love all his little sounds he makes while playing with his trains!!!

he's so animated and funny =)

i love the ages both my boys are right now!!!

they both have the cutest personalities and can be so funny!!

as hard as being a mom is sometimes...i love it to pieces!!!

it is one of the most rewarding things i've ever done =)

****************

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
