Maybe I’m Watching Too Much

Maybe I’m watching too much children’s programming, but for some reason this week it is better than ever. Yesterday Neil Patrick Harris and Kim Cattrall were both on Sesame Street, and today Jack Black made an appearance (awesome). Yo Gabba Gabba! had the Shins on yesterday too, and they are one of my favorite bands, super awesome. I’ve love the episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba! that featured the Postmarks, and Mates of State for the Super Music Friend Show, yeah I so wish this show was around when I was a kiddo.

Do your kiddos have a favorite show, that you don’t mind watching too?

Party Planning Questions

It seems like I have been on the phone non-stop the last few days calling one place after another for Thade’s party. I made the task a little easier by setting up a spreadsheet with all of my questions to ask, and the locations of where I hope to have the party.

Here is my list:

  • How much does it cost to book the location?
  • Is there a deposit that is needed before we can book the location?
  • What date/times are available to book the party?
  • How long can the party be?
  • What foods/beverages do you supply?
  • Will you supply party favors/decorations?
  • Can we bring in our own dessert?
  • How many people can we invite/is there a minimum?
  • Are there any clean-up fees?

Whew! I had better get back to the party planning!

The Return of the Impala

Well the good news and the bad news. My car is coming home today! It had a complete BCM (computer) failure, but it can be replaced, and it is nothing that I could have avoided with timely oil changes and good car maintenance. The price tag of the repairs was under what we were expecting too, but are you ever truly happy when you see a car repair bill?!?

I’m relieved that my car will be home this afternoon, and I know James is too. Thanks to my hubby for being so good about sharing his car too!

My Guilty Pleasure

I know it sounds like a total cliche, but on Wednesday nights I sneak downstairs to watch Top Chef on the couch all by myself, and Ice Cream may or may not be involved. I really enjoy the peace an quiet if the house once the kiddos have gone to sleep.It is definitely one of my favorite guilty pleasures.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Time To Get Back To It

Today we are back to the everyday morning routine, and Thade is very ready to get back to preschool. Both of the boys were wide awake and ready to go at 6:45 a.m. Dylan and I will be busy running errands while Thade is having fun at his schools belated Christmas party. Today we’ll also be taking James lunch at work. It looks like it is going to be a busy Monday!

What do you have planned today? Are your kiddos back to school too?
