Happy 8th Anniversary To Us

Yesterday was our eigth wedding anniversary! We have made it eight years! We are taking a long weekend in a few weeks for our anniversary so I really wasn't expecting anything AND I was sick so the day wasn't as wonderful and romantic as one might think.

So on my way home I call Jonathan and I am complaining that we should have tried to mark the day better even though I was sick. I am going on and on about the fact that its important and I feel bad that all I did was send flowers and we really should try harder to mark the day with something special even though we are going away soon. And he is letting me go on and on.

And I get home to...

 

I decided to leave it all in place so the boys could see it and they would know that Daddy does nice things for Mama. Let me tell you, they were fascinated. The Notorious MRA mad it halfway through the garage (that's where the trail started) and, with hands on hops, questioned, "Who made this mess?"

 

Chubalicious, on the other hand, came in and immediately started picking up the petals. When he got to my room (where I was standing) he said, very sweetly, "Mama. rose petals made a mess on the floor."

That's when they discovered the food on the bed and the gift.

 

And proceeded to eat half of my chocolates and tear open the gift. The gift was a gift card to a spa that I have wanted to try out and something I am so thankful for.

 

The Notorious MRA, saw the picture of the spa on the brochure that was included and declared it a magical room (yes, I hope so, buddy.) He also declared that he wants to go with me (not a snowball's chance in hell, buddy).

 

Thank you, LB for the wonderful surprise. You always seem to know just when I need it the most. I love you!

Pre-Easter Yummy Treats

Courtesy of the Sugar Shack - you know who you are ;)!

No, its not the best photo. The light was coming in the wrong way. But rest assured, these two turned into little scavaging racoons, tearing into that big box and finding ways to cut right through plastic packaging. They did enjoy the bunny ears and toys but nothing compares to sugar when you are little. And as far as Chubalicious is concerned, no one can compete with a marshmallow. Happy early Easter!

It's The Landing That Counts

I took this short video clip the other night. ASA has the funniest little run. We keep trying to capture it before it changes too much.

Everytime I watch it, though, all I can think of is this "West Wing" episode where

Toby talks about President Bartlet's favorite movie and both of them quote sections.

"By God, I'm 50, alive, and the King all at the same time," quotes Bartlet at the mention of his favorite movie.
"I turned it on." Toby tells the President, "just as they got to the scene when Richard, Geoffrey and John were locked in the dungeon and Henry was coming down to execute them. Richard tells his brothers not to cower but to take it like men and Geoffrey says, 'You fool! As if it matters how a man falls down.' And Richard says, 'When the fall's all that's left, it matters a great deal.'"
