Yup, we love each other.

This is how I looked last night! Since the kids are at Grandma's, Matt called me at work and said that we needed to do something that night.

My excited face is because he took me to see The Help!!!!!!! I have been DYING to see it. Ummm...the book is amazing. I've read it twice. The movie...so good! A must see =) I laughed...hard! And I cried...I had to have a lot of control to keep it from turning into a bawl baby fest. Go read it and go see it. It is worth the time...I promise!

Yup, Matt loves me!

I had a discussion about making the bed everyday with Jamie & Jill a couple of weeks ago. They are both devoted to making their beds every morning... me, not so much.

Well Matt and I decided that we need to start making our bed (sets a good example for the kiddo's...whatever). So we started out making it together this last weekend, but then once the week started I was the last one out of bed, and Matt had already left for work. Dang it!

So I have been making it this week. And the other day Matt said he came home, looked at our made up bed, smiled, and thought "My wife loves me."

Yup, I totally love that man!

*On a side note concerning my hair...

My hair and I have not always had such a great relationship.

I was teased unmercilously by numerous people about my hair growing up (I will never forget Oscar from grade school. My nickname was "Naps." And it was mine the entire time in elementary school. Boys are dumb.). I still get an occasional comment from random people about my hair. Mostly I get good comments though. But it is hard. One not so nice comment (even though they think they are teasing) can outrank a whole bunch of good comments in a heartbeat. So yeah, my hair & I...we are working on things.

Last night I left my hair down, only because Matt has been begging me to. If you thought it was kinda big in the above picture, by the end of the night it had grown like 3 times it's size.

The movie had just ended, I was emotional anyway, and Matt looks at me and says with such pure honesty, "I love your hair." And then he smiled at me and just looked and admired his wife with her curly mop. I put my head on his chest, gave him a big hug and cried a little. I asked him why. And he said he loves how unique it is. And it is beautiful. Now I have had people tell me they like my hair, Matt included, but I have never truly believed anyone until Matt said that. Bless that man for loving every "unique" part of his wife...cause it made her night!

Work = Pukiness

*Today and tomorrow the kids have their Fall Break....I get to work...yay. So they are up at Grandma Jo's having the time of their lives. Well except Ben started throwing up last night. I feel so bad, firs of all because I sent him to someones house and he started throwing up (makes ya feel SO horrible!) and second, when my kids are sick and I'm not around I feel kinda like a bad Mom. I just want to baby him and all that. But he had Grandma and he said she took very good care of him. So I'm glad he was with her if he couldn't be with me.

*Isabelle is excited cause they are going to go on a Pumpkin Walk tonight. I'm a little jealous that I don't get to go. It's up in Cache Valley and they have different scenes with carved pumpkins and just a gazillion more carved pumpkins. It's a totally fun thing for kids.

*I had a group presentation Tuesday night in my Social Studies class. It was on the Civil War & we totally rocked it! AH YEAH! That night I also realized that I have another huge presentation due in 2 weeks....ah crap. But it's all good. School is stressing me out, but I am gaining more and more confidence in my abilities and so that is making things a lot easier =) Although apparently I need a grammar checker before I turn in my work. I am HORRIBLE at grammar =/

*I don't really want to go to work today and am pretty much procrastinating taking a shower...but I should really go now. Too bad Ben isn't sick enough for me to go and get him and get out of work. And that proves what a great Mom I am...I want my kid to be sick so I can be lazy ;)

*Have a Happy Thursday!

CRAZY Hair Day!!!!

We love crazy hair day in this family! Last year's was amazing & so is this years...If I do say so myself =)

Here is Ben:

We attempted to spike it, but his hair is too long & too curly, but it's cute anyway. Spray with some red hairspray, glue in some googly eyes and he is set!

He would have his back to us and say "I can see you!" It made us laugh.

And yes I did say glue. I figured it was going to get cut anyway, so I used a little bit of hot glue and glued them to the ends of his hair. I saw it on another blog, except they used bugs.

Here is Isabelle:
She wanted buns all over her head & then we sprayed them red & purple!
We added some sparkly pipe cleaners & she loved it because she said it looked like a crazy crown =)

My kids are so stinkin' fun!!!!

*On a side note....I have one boy crazy daughter. Apparently she was holding hands with her friend Alex yesterday on the fieldtrip. I have spies everywhere ;)

I asked her about it and she said they were just holding hands because they are best friends, which I can believe, but then she also said that they are going to get married when they grow up. Oh boy!

And then I heard from another "spy" who heard from her daughter (Isabelle's friend) thast Isabelle says she is in love with Mr. Dyer and wants to feel his pokey beard! What???? When I told Matt he laughed and said she likes to rub his stubble too. What a wierdo! But alas poor Isabelle will never be able to marry Mr. Dyer. She will never be his type...he's gay =)

Friday, Friday, Friday...

*I subbed at the elementary school today....and yes, I wore a bra! I did have my college sweatshirt on (it's college day on Fridays at their school) so I could have totally gone without...okay, maybe I couldn't have. Hehehe...I can't believe how lazy I am sometimes!

*I totally bring treats with me when I sub. I am not above bribing children. Spend a buck or 2 and I save myself some headache. Plus it makes me the bomb sub!

*I have a gajillion tons of homework to do. I hate homework. Can't I hire someone to do it for me? Any takers????

*We had parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday. The kids are both doing great & their teachers love them. I really, really like hearing good things like that from teachers.

*I bought the Blue Bunny brand Red Velvet Cake ice cream. Don't do it. So not worth it, even though I was told it was....and I love Red Velvet cake!

*Matt's Mom came down on Thursday because the kid's school was hosting a "Grandparents Lunch." The kids were so excited that Grandma Jo got to come and eat lunch with them.

*BTW...Bre if you are reading this, you should be studying (I have to keep one of us in line & decided that it's you...love ya!)

*Have a happy Friday!!!!!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

*I am listening to Joshua on a podcast that his roommate did. I saw it on facebook & wanted to listen to his dulcet tones. It is pretty entertaining, although a bit random too. His roommate totally just said that Josh is skinny, nerdy & weird....HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And BTW Joshua, I don't think your puzzles are weird. I think your roommate is just totally jealous of you ;)

*My wreath won!!!!!! HOLLAH!!!! I am supposed to now write a tutorial about it. Sigh...it sometimes is not cool to win...

*Someone commented to my friend that my wreath was pretty cool, but they could not understand why I would put a skull on it. That made me laugh.

*I still have not painted my toenails...I know...I am disgusting. So sue me!

*I have a 2 boxes and 2 bags set to go to the thrift store. It is very liberating. You people should try it. I also threw out a ton of the kids school work from the past couple of years. If I thought it was cool in the moment I kept it, if not....it is now in the round file!

*I went an helped in Ben's class today. I'm really classy, I didn't have a bra on. I did have a bulky sweatshirt though....I guess that made up for it....but probably not.

Happiness is...

...Isabelle singing at the top of her lungs in the shower this morning! (Randomly making up songs!)

Help a Sistah out!
