Insert clever title here

Ever have one of those days where your mind is running a million miles a minute? Welcome to my day! I'm in the midst of starting a new project (details to follow at a later date, sorry) and my mind is racing. I'm at the point of overload and can't complete a single thought, so I apologize if this post is totally incoherent.
Anyway...
Aaron is in full on whine mode, that top tooth is finally starting to push through. I love my son, don't get me wrong, but that whine...makes me want wine. We should be past it in the next few days though.
I've been trying to work with them on signs, we have the Baby Einstein "My first signs" which is pretty cool, but I think I'm also going to try Sign Time. The kids look at me like I'm crazy, and they probably are a little on the young side, but we'll see.
I'm also in the process of baby proofing...yuck. That's all I have to say. I never realized what a death trap my house is. I have outlet covers up, that was the first thing obviously. I haven't done much else yet, but I know cabinet locks are the next step, joy. I also have to get some padding for the corners of stuff. Jill bopped her face on the corner of the kitchen table and has a nice little bruise on her cheek. I have a feeling my kids are going to be as clutzy as I am. Good news for the ER's in the area, bad news for us.
That's about it over here, off to tend to the whine-o. Hope you have a whine free day!

Thanksgiving Thursday

>>

This week is just getting crazier and crazier, but here is my list of things to be thankful for this week...

I'm thankful...

1) That we are done eating the jarred meat! Oh my goodness, have you smelled this stuff?! I know why my son gagged the first time, it's gross!

2) That we have a new pastor and that he is settling in well within the parish. And hopefully he had a stuffy nose or something when he met us (read previous blogs to find out why).

3) That everything from today turned out ok and nothing was too serious. I'm not going to go into it, because I don't want anyone to be embarrassed, but I will say, next time you want us to come over just call silly! ;)

4) For Baby Einstein Dvd's. Oh what a welcomed 30 minutes! Especially the Language Nursery and Baby's First Sounds (the kids laugh almost every time something is in French).

5) For farmers markets! We did some quick math and it turns out we save almost half by buying there every Sunday. Plus it is so much better for the environment, and we're helping local growers. And I mean who has better sweet corn than Zellwood and better strawberries than Plant City???

6) For Anderson Cooper's coverage of the Inaugration. I mean, honestly, I was pretty into the whole event, but CNN choosing good old silver fox Cooper was just the icing on the cake!

7) That we now have a new President who is awesome! I won't say anymore, I promised not to.

8) For Nicole starting this whole Thanksgiving Thursday thing, it's awesome and makes you feel awesome after you do it!

I hope you have a lot to be thankful for too! Make sure you visit Nicole over at What a trip to see what she's thankful for!

No crying zone

It was Florida cold yesterday. I found that I can't say it was just cold anymore because I'm reminded that it's -525 or whatever it is in Chicago :) We pretty much just hung out around the house, and I'm kind of glad we did. For some reason or another the morning was just rough. Both kids were really fussy, and even after a morning nap were still fussy. Thank God for Baby Einstein though, that holds their attention long enough for me to eat and do whatever else I need to do. They really like the Baby's First Sounds, and I've noticed them mimicking it, so yay!
I think today is going to be pretty low key, I have no idea. All I know is that tonight I am going to be a baking machine! Tomorrow we have a welcoming party for our new pastor, so the ladies of the parish were asked to bake. FYI baking is my favorite thing to do. I am the queen of the mix master, so anytime I get to use it, watch out!
That's pretty much it around here, hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful day!
