I always get a little down when Monday rolls around. However, in 11 days (that's one full week of work, a weekend, and a four day work week), I will have 11 days off!! Woo-hoo!!! :) Just another reason why I LOVE this time of year!
That's really all I have to say tonight. Enjoy your Monday! :)

Sweet and Silly Moments
We've had a lot of sweet and a lot of silly moments lately.
Moments like this crack me up:
1. Addi likes to dance. Addi likes to climb. Addi likes to climb on the tables in her classroom and dance. If she can get a friend to join her, that makes it even better.
2. Brogan has discovered that he can make his hands move. He is completely fascinated by this. It is hilarious to watch his little face as he stares at his hand and moves it back and forth.
3. My husband picks the craziest times to decide to talk a lot. Like right now while I'm trying to blog. And though it's distracting, I love it...he's my soulmate. :)
4. Jared took Addi on a daddy-daughter date today. They got ice cream at Burger King. As they were throwing their trash away, Addi decided to smack a man's butt...no one she knew, just a stranger. She didn't do it maliciously, just playfully. Like I do to Jared. Perhaps I should stop.
5. My mom has beads at her house that Addi got to play with while we were there for Thanksgiving. She LOVED those beads. One time while wearing them, she ran up to me and said, "Go Potty!" So we ran into the bathroom and I ripped off her diaper and sat her on the toilet. She jumped off and ran out of the bathroom with her pants around her ankles and her bare butt exposed to the world. Everyone laughed...so then the next morning when she put on the beads, she tried to pull her pants and diaper down. Thankfully she did not succeed. FYI...She did NOT learn this from me.
Moments like this melt my heart:
1. We were eating Thanksgiving dinner and there were quite a few of us spread out all over my parents' house. Addi was eating at a table with my brother, his girlfriend and a couple other people. I went and sat down on a step by myself, but still around people. Addi noticed me sitting by myself, picked up her plate, walked over and sat down on the step with me and ate. It was the sweetest, most precious moment of the day for me.
2. I was helping in Addi's class last Sunday and after the kids had their snack, Addi promptly crumpled up her paper towel and threw it into the trash can. She was the only child who did this! So she may climb on tables, but at least she cleans up after herself. :)
3. The other day I was laying on the floor playing with Brogan. Everything I did made him laugh hysterically. He would laugh and look right into my eyes as if he was looking into my soul. It was one of those bonding moments...those moments that you just know that your child adores you. As a full-time working mom, this moment was so precious because I knew at that moment that he knows I'm his mommy and that I have his back. :)
4. Last night was the first night that the town near us (like literally two minutes away from us) had their HUGE Christmas light display. I wanted to see it so badly, but we had baths to give, dinner to make, etc. At 8:30 pm, Jared and I hopped into the car with the kiddos and went and looked at the lights. No one was as impressed or as excited as me, but Jared pretended to be and we laughed at Addi who seemed like she was trying to act excited for me, too. Brogan slept, but that was OK. Being with my family and enjoying the moment was priceless.
