Chocoholic?

Do you think he's been watching mom too much?

JUST DO IT!-my new motto

My newest decorations:

Since we got married I always wanted to have an Americana theme for my living room.  I'm finally starting on it.  This is my first little corner finished.  I'm planning on making (or finding) some throws for the couch...adding some Red/White/Blue pillows.  I'd love to replace the old curtains with Blinds or get some nice coordinating curtains instead BUT:

We've been renting this house here in Terreton for 5 years now.  Ron has been very adamant that I not spend any money on decorating because its not "our" house.  I've been waiting FIVE year to make a house our home!  We keep thinking we're going to be able to get our own place and year after year keeps slipping by us.  I wish I could turn back time and change our decisions or see what the future hold for us.  When we first moved out here we didn't know how long it was going to be for so we didn't want to buy anything.  Well, like I've said its been 5 years and we're still out here.  We LOVE Terreton its the perfect little community and I love how wide open everything is.  We're right in the middle of all the farming, yet in the middle of the community as well.  We want to stay out here and continue making it our home.  However, someday (we thought it would have been by now) we want to be able to farm completly on our own.  The problem is: you either inherit it or marry it. Probelm #2 Nothing goes up for sale out here, you just all of a sudden hear that so and so just bought such and such place. #3 Nobody, especially in this economy is going to lend a young couple like us half a million dollars to get us started! So, here we sit, waiting and waiting for a turn of events to get us into our own place.  Because why buy something now, if we get the oppertunity to buy something else this fall.  OR in my case why spend the time and money in decorating THIS old house now, when we can have our own place this fall.  I have finally decided JUST DO IT!  We won't get a place of our own until I finally get settled into this one!  We need to just enjoy what we have now and DO make it our home, because it IS our home...at least for now. 

What happens when mom's are Lazy??

This goes to show you how lazy of a mom I REALLY am!  A few Sundays back I was not ready to get out of bed...but Landon was ready for breakfast.  I got him his cereal left the pitcher of milk on the table and went back to bed-no I didn't actually sleep, but I love to just lay in bed if I can.

I finally decided it was time to check on Landon.  He should have been done by then. 

THIS is what I came out to...

THEN when I put the lid back on I noticed THIS:

That's right! he poured his cereal inside the milk pitcher!!

AM I EVER GOING TO LEARN??

(If your wondering why the milk is in a pitcher, not a jug...we get our milk straight from the dairy.  Its what Ron grew up on and won't have it any other way.  I prefer store bought milk.  The other sepearates from the cream way too fast.)

Too Much Like His Dad!

What do YOU think?

I think I'm going to be in TROUBLE...I can't handle him already and he's not even TWO!!
