Inkheart

Yesterday was a teacher workday for my Vinner (well today is as well, but his grandmother was lovely enough to volunteer to stay home today so I dont exhaust my leave)



So yesterday we decided to go see a movie.



After loading up on snacks at World Market (much better candy, and much less expensive) we decided on Inkheart, based on the book of the same name.



Vincent is teeter-tottering on puberty, meaning almost all the physical signs of maturity are present, but the rest of the mental and emotional stuff is still iffy depending on how the wind blows a particular day.



However, this post is not about the challenges of my darling first born randomly turning into a snide, sarcastic little shit at the drop of a hat, then swiftly back to my sweet child. FEAR NOT!



The movie was wonderful, I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in ages. Mind you it's been ages since I last went to a movie (10.75 for a small popcorn and a medium coke though really is absurd!) but I had such a wonderful time, and my Vincent was a true joy to be around, sweet, funny, and just plain cool.

Yeah for being his mom :-)

Moving on up!

The construction on the addition is complete.



FINALLY..I mean effing finally. (new year, gotta curb the cursing)



Moved the beds up Saturday, and have slowly been moving the rest of the stuff up since then.

It's nice for Spud to finally have his own room, even if it's over two feet smaller than blue printed, I have no idea what we're going to do when he outgrows the crib, because a twin bed will be a tight squeeze indeed..but will deal with that when it comes.

I have lots and lots of windows now..and french doors from our bedroom leading out to the back porch.

Woot.

Embarrassing confession

Red velvet cake cookies.

Simply the most divine things ever.

Except when you eat too many, and it changes the color of your pee.

Seriously, I almost had a heart attack on the hopper the other day.

I thought I was hemmoraging. But no, I was just stupid.

This is gonna be one hell of a year I can tell already.
