My little ham

Nothing like a little "Fluff" on the ole Blog for a Monday!
At least it's finally looking a bit more festive round  here!

Motherhood: It's not for the faint of heart

Last night started out much like any other.

Left work, picked up Jamie, came home.

Made tacos.

Made Chex Mix. 

Ok so that's kind of out of the ordinary, but mama was craving some chex mix like woah.

Anyways, after making a complete mess of the kitchen, Jamie and I made our way downstairs to play.

It was at this point that I realized something had died in my sons pants and he was in need of a diaper change like yesterday.

It was only 6:15....a little early for bath time, but I figured what the heck.

Seemed silly to put on a new diaper for only 20 minutes knowing bedtime was close.

So upstairs we went.

I got Jamie all undressed, cleaned up the massacre in his pants and put him on the floor.

Surely a boy who has just peed AND pooped can be trusted for a little nakey time.

I went down the hall to turn on the tub and see Jamie's naked butt toddling into our bedroom.

No biggie, he probably wants to play with the phone or root through my sock drawer or dig the tennis racket out of the closet.

You know, usual Toddler debauchery.

Like clockwork, as soon as the tub water is on I hear manic laughter and footsteps coming down the hall.

Now it must be told that the amount of time that's past since I saw naked butt in our bedroom to turning on the faucet is maybe 60 seconds.

Sure enough here he comes.  But what is that on his leg?  And his hand?

Is that chocolate?

Oh dear god PLEASE be chocolate.

DontbepoopDontbepoopDontbepoop.

I sniff his hand.

Yep poop.

All over his legs.  Hands.  And face.

Sigh.

I clean him up.  Brush his teeth.  Twice.  Get his PJs on and then reluctantly enter our bedroom the crime scene.

And then I saw it.

And laughed.  Cause really....what else can you do.

In 60 seconds my son managed to take a poop (and pee) in the dogs bed.

Apparently he was just marking his spot.

In the infinite words of AP

Motherhood = 1.  Mrs EyeCanSee = 0.

Dear Santa....

So I think I've been extra good this year.

Have you noticed?

Well just in case you hadn't and needed any ideas,

here's a few things on my {fantasy} wish list.

Michael Kors Tortoise Jet Set Watch

It's even better in person Santa.  Trust me.

Tiffany Etiole Ring

Cause this girl needs some new wedding bling that's work appropriate and this looks like it would work under gloves perfectly.  Wouldn't you agree?

A pair of Frye Veronica Slouch Boots

*sigh*  Aren't they beautiful?

The Pink/Polka Dot Kate Spade Kindle cover

You know for the Kindle you got me last year.

Oh wait?  What's that?  You didn't buy my a Kindle last year?

Welp, better add that to the list too!

Red Patent Leather Coach Bag

Because who doesn't want a fun purse for the holiday season?



And of course.  The grand finale of all gifts which will probably be eternally on my wish list unless you win the lottery...

The Canon Rebel T3i

Ain't she a beaut Clark?

 

Well Santa, I think that about does it.

Happy Shopping!

Want to post your fantasy {or real} Christmas Wish list?

Link up!

It's OK....

This week has flown by!  And holy crap it's December!

Linking up with Amber and Neely today for

Its OK

....To be totally bummed when your favorite bloggers don't post everyday even though your own blogging regularity isn't exactly stellar.

....That by Monday everyone in our house was ready to get back to work and "school."  I didn't get to see it, but apparently as soon as Jamie saw his daycare friend Mallory he gave her a big hug.  My son.  What a flirt!

....That this week our dinners have consisted of leftovers, frozen pizza and hotdogs.

....That the inside of our house it completely Christmafied, but I still have 2 {molding} pumpkins on the porch

....To be a little miffed it was just assumed I wanted to participate in my works Secret Santa.  I don't mean to be a scrooge, but the hubs and I don't even exchange gifts in an effort to minimize the holiday spending....why would I want to spend $20 on a co-worker I've never even met.

....That 90% of the time Jamie still eats with his hands.  We're working on the whole silverware thing, but honestly as long as he's eating those green beans, I don't really give a crap how they get into his mouth.

....That I spent a good portion of the morning scouting out people to join in my children's book exchange.  Sometimes the thought of 36 FREE books takes precidence over silly work stuff.

....That I still haven't bought a single Christmas gift.  In fact, my side of the family hasn't even drawn names yet.  So even if I wanted to start shopping, I wouldn't know who to by for.

....That I never win at Words with Friends.  In fact I usually get my ass beat, but I still love to play.  I kinda hate when people resign just because they're going to lose.  It's a game people.  Who cares.

....That while playing said game I tried three times to spell "laser" L-A-Z-E-R and was getting pissed when it kept telling me it wasn't a word.  Guess it's no real surprise why I lose so bad.

....That we have no real plans to go all out on gifts for Jamie this year.  He still doesn't know the difference and I'm sure the Grandparents will buy MORE than enough.
....That it's December 1 and my blog still thinks it's summer.  One of these days I will get around to changing up my look!

Happy {almost} Friday Friends!

Turkey, Toilet Paper and Couch Forts.

My favorite holiday has come and gone and now we're officially in the Christmas season!

For the record I did not step foot inside a single store or shopping mall this weekend.  I also have yet to buy a single Christmas gift.  Some people like the thrill of Black Friday.  I like the thrill of those last minute bargains.

Oh the pressure and craziness of Christmas!

Honestly, it's why I've come to love Thanksgiving so much.

Sure as a kid Christmas was awesome, all I did was show up and get tons of gifts.  What not to love.

As an adult though?  It's stressful.

Thanksgiving however is a holiday surrounded by friends, family and tons of food.

No shopping required.

That's a holiday I can get on board with.

And boy did we!!

We sat too close to the TV to take in the Macy's Day Parade.

We wore goofy turkey shirts.

We ate. 

We drank. 

We enjoyed time together.

We kicked off the holiday season with a trip down to the Plaza for the annual lighting ceremony

{along with the rest of Kansas City}

We watched football

We unrolled entire rolls of toilet paper when mom and dad weren't looking.

And at the end of a long weekend, we tore apart the couch and built a fort.

Needless to say, this weekend was nothing but perfect.

Now bring on Christmas!

He Said/SheSaid

She Said:  I think we need to get
Jamie a new pair of shoes
....his toes are touching the top.

He Said:  Looks like we get to

go shoooppping tomorrow!

She Said:  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. 
Do you mean Friday? 
As in BLACK Friday. 
Yeah, hell no, that's like a death sentence.

 Happy {almost} Thanksgiving!!

 

Easy Canvas Prints {review}

Back in August, yes August, Easy Canvas Prints contacted me with an awesome opportunity.

All I had to to was write up a quick review and in return would receive a FREE 11x14 canvas of one of my favorite pictures.

Easy enough right?  Well I dropped the ball and it got buried in my inbox never to be thought of again.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago.

I wanted to print off some of my favorite family photos that we just had done.

And then I remembered Easy Canvas Prints will turn your photos to canvas.

I quickly dug through my emails until I found it and sure enough the offer still stood!

Woo hoo!

Five minutes later I was uploading my picture to their site and within a few days this beauty showed up on my doorstep.

It was seriously that easy.

I'm thinking I need to start filling up our blank walls with more canvas!  A collage wall perhaps?

If you haven't checked out Easy Canvas Prints before you definitely should, they won't disappoint!

And it's your lucky day because if you "like" them on Facebook you will automatically receive 50% off your next order and free shipping!

With the holidays coming, you can't really beat that deal!

Happy Shopping!

***As stated above, I was compensated with a free canvas print for writing this review. ***
