And he got to color with Grandma...
Day 59:
After church I spent a few hours doing some heavy duty cleaning.
For some reason he really loves this song. He only smiles about Moose and Zee songs and Billie Jean ha ha.

Day 55:
He got aggravated about the screws that he bought for the project. It was kinda funny that we had this conversation where we had decided that him buying nuts and bolts, etc. was like me having a thing for buying office supplies so I agreed to let him buy some to do this and he didn't end up liking them. But whatever he ended up using works and it looks great! Thanks again Mr. Fix It!
And I just have to share this story. The other morning I was feeding Dalen oats for breakfast. He was getting full and didn't want anymore so I asked him, "Dalen, do you want some more oats?", and he says just as plain as anything, "No Mommy No." It was the cutest thing!
Day 51:
Aside from working on Dalen's blanket that I'm knitting I have decided to do the felt Moose and Zee project from the Nick Jr. website. My friend Anna made them and did an excellent job. I normally wouldn't do anything like this, but Dalen loves Moose and Zee so much I almost have to make them for him since you cannot buy them as stuffed animals anywhere. Anna is a great crafter so I hope mine turn out half as good as hers. So look pictures of that project to come soon.
There used to be a variety of animals glued on the wall, now there is only a sad little zebra. The rest have either fallen off or has been ripped of the wall by little hands, I will mention no names...uh hum. I know the culprit likes to carry the fallen animals around while saying their names as a memorial, "g'rat" (giraffe), and "nkey" (monkey).
He reluctantly got to stick his thumb into some pink paint for the craft. He made thumb prints on the heart. The tag says, "Thumb-body loves you." It's very cute.

Day 47:
More snow is on the way! I think this has been a record for snowfall around here, if not it should be close!

Day 43:
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
Nifty tile, right?
I think it looks really good! Thanks Mr. Fix It! We have bought paint already so hopefully we can do that tonight before The Bachelor comes on. I hate to admit, but I love that show.
We still have some drywall work to do in there and we're wanting to put a white shelf going across the wall behind my washer and dryer to up detergent and cleaning supplies. The opposite wall is weird in that it is like the outside of our house because the laundry room and bathroom was a build on years ago. But I think it gives the room character so we are leaving it as is. But what makes it even more weird is that there was a window there lol. Yes, it looks very strange but I think we are going to put some shelves in there painted the pink color to give it the opposites look, hopefully that will take care of the awkward covered up window situation.
I just wish that if the weather man forecasts 4 inches, we get it! Last weekend we were supposed to get 12-15 inches and maybe got 2. I was so disappointed!

Day 36:
We are getting pounded by snow right now. We decided that we needed to go to the grocery store to get some things before it started. Instead of doing this in a quick manner, we spent an hour eating in Ruby Tuesdays, which was delicious (I ate an awesome Santa Fe Chicken Salad.), then we went to Lowe's to buy supplies to remodel our laundry room. Pictures of that will coming soon. Then we finally made it around to going to Krogers, where we also spent more time than we should have. It had started snowing about half way into our dinner by the way. On the way home before we even got out of Athens we about did not make it up a hill, but almost made it over it insead. I cannot say I have never been so scared in my life because I don't remember an instance, but I could be wrong. I was really freakin scared, lets just leave it at that. Thank God we made it home safely! We were at least smart enough to leave Dalen with my parents while we went. If he would've been with us I would've been hysterical I'm sure. But also, I seriously doubt we would've went at all. Now that we are home safe and sound hopefully we can enjoy the snow from the comfort and warmth of our home.
He was totally fascinated by all the fish.
And here are my two favorites :-)
Dalen wasn't too happy about having to pose for yet another picture. But you will see even less cooperation later on in this post.
Day 29:
And for the Grand Finale....
Ta Da!
Until next time...
Maybe after Daddy gets home we'll bundle the boy up and go outside to play in the snow for a bit.
Today was also Weight Watchers day! Good news. I lost 3.6 pounds this week! I worked really hard at it, and I did alot of exercising. I am even starting to see some results from working out. I just hope the pounds continue to come off.
We had a wonderful lunch at McDonald's with my Mom, or to Dalen, it's "Nana."
