Some Random Thoughts

I haven't been a good blogger this week - I was lucky enough to catch the stomach flu earlier this week.  But here are a few random things from the past couple of weeks:

Colin, my little non-speaker, said "Wub you" to me recently.  So sweet.

Keira, my little chatter-box, now tells her brother to "Go Away", when he bothers her.

Connor has apparently lost his hearing.  It comes and goes though. If you tell him to stop doing something, he can't hear you and continues to do it.  If you whisper, "who wants a donut?", suddenly it's a miracle and his ears work again.

Last night, I went to Party City and got Connor his Buzz Lightyear costume for Halloween.  For weeks, he had been saying he wanted to be Curious George (that's what he was last year).  Then suddenly on Tuesday night, he said he just HAD to be Buzz.  Luckily PC still had costumes in stock.  Unfortunately, the jet pack is sold separately.  My justification for spending $29 on a costume - he will wear it quite often. ;)

Now I'm trying to figure out what to dress up the twins as.  Shockingly, Keira wants to be Dora and Colin wants to be the yellow Wiggle.  Did you know you can buy a Dora costume for $25? It includes a pink tshirt, orange shorts and a brown wig that my daughter would probably not wear.  I don't think so. We will make our own costume, thank you very much.  Unless I can talk her into wearing her cousin Lexi's old ladybug costume.  Then Colin can be a bumblebee or another sort of bug.

On Monday, I was pretty sick and stayed in bed all day.  MIL was with the boys at our house, and Keira went to my mom's.  On Tuesday, everyone went to daycare/work, but me.  I took a much needed "me" day to just lay around and rest.  That's harder than it seems.  But I found a great new show on Syfy on demand.  It's called Haven, and it's based on a story by Stephen King.  I'm addicted.

I didn't get Ethan the jet pack. He doesn't seem to have noticed.
Think the twins will look great as bugs.
Hope you're feeling better.

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite their renewed feel

Enjoy the little things...

The music filled my head as I drove my car along the winding river road on that dark and snowy night.  I had just left my grandpa's wake and was headed home... alone.....  My husband had the stomach flu, we had moved into our new house the day before my grandpa passed, and I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.  The baby boy inside me kicked along with the song, as I cried and listened to the words. Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above. I've always found comfort in songs... the words of the artists resonating with me through even my darkest times. Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man is one of those songs that just happens to play on the radio at the precise moment that I need a remind

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?
