Cats and Boiled Eggs...

No, not the two combined. Today (Sunday) Halle got up from nap and as usual I said "what would you like for snacks?" Now, the usual reply is, cookies, or gummies, or bananas... you know the regular snacks. Today it was "I want eggs Puhlease"!! Adament that she wanted to have an egg for snack. So- I went downstairs and got her a boiled egg for snack. She decided (after about 3/4's of the way through the egg) that she wanted to "snookie" (snuggle) the cat, and "big kittie wants egg puhlease" telling me that the cat wanted some of her egg too. So of course before I could stop her she snookied the cat and gave the cat part of her egg. And yes, the cat actually ate some of the egg...weird I know! So these pics are some of Halle's grin after sharing her egg, and the cat what she looked like after a snookie. Cute right? Other than that we are doing great, Dustin has one more final paper due Tuesday for his PhD class-we are super excited for him to be done. Halle and I are heading to the Indy Zoo tomorrow to (hopefully) let Dustin finish his paper. I think Dustin and I agreed that a laptop might be something to acquire soon...especially with little dude on the way that way Dustin can get more work done away from home. We are excited for Utah...two weeks from today we will be living there!! YEAH!

I love my...

Swiffer Wet Jet!! I don't know if this is totally common knowledge but these things ROCK! We were in the market for a new mop, so I thought we would check it out and see how it works. I shopped around to see the cheapest place to buy one (walmart for all those that want to know) and it came out around $13!! You get a mop, liquid stuff, mop pads...and of course instructions. So at 10:30 last night I decided to see how it worked. I loved it!! I finished mopping and had to show Dustin just how dirty our floor was...which was incredible. Now just so you do know I am a clean person, and we do mop our floor at least once a week if not moreos -to see this much dirt it was incredible!! I loved my swiffer... the fact that you didn't have to go back and forth to the kitchen sink...and you just push a button and the liquid stuff comes out!! I LOVE IT!! So...to say the least- everyone needs one. You can get one for wood floors, tile...basically anything you have it will work!!!

Ready for Summer

As you can see we are definitely ready for summer. I found these super cute sunglasses at a thrift store... for free...I won with that one. Anyway- we had a great anniversary last night- we decided after lots of pondering that we didn't want to go to a super expensive restaurant because we have never found one that totally is worth the amount of money that is spent. So we decided upon a restaurant that isn't a norm (well no restaurant is) but we knew that it would be safe...Olive Garden. It was great! Then, we decided we would spend the night shopping since Dustin's birthday was last week and he still had some money...like I said earlier it is so much easier to shop without helping hands too. We got to the mall and then Dustin surprised me and said that he didn't want to leave until I left with something pretty...a dress, shoes.. whatever I wanted. What a sweetheart!! So, Dustin spent part of his birthday money on me- on a new pair of shoes!! I must add that they are very pretty shoes too.. hahaha. He is a one in a million kind of guy!
Halle and I are getting prepped for our flight to Salt Lake in just a few weeks.. I have been looking around for some new Sesame Street DVD's for the journey- hopefully I will find some soon!! Speaking of which..our little chatter box showed us something else fun today... out of no where it was a "mommy...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8" followed by a "ah ah ah" (The Count from Sesame Street), so yes Sesame street is very educational.. is it sad that Sesame Street taught our daughter how to count?? In some aspects yes, but in others I don't think so. She only watches tv, which is Sesame Street, maybe 4 mornings a week...obviously it matters what shows you pick to show your child... luckily I picked a good one!!
Other than that things are going great... hopefully everyone is doing great!!

Happy Anniversary

Yeah for us...it is our anniversary today!! Not like 3 is a huge number, but it is a lot of fun to celebrate! Dustin has been working on finals all day but tonight we plan on going out on the town!! Haha, we got a babysitter from 6-10 tonight and Dustin has a restaurant picked out then...yep, I think we are going to do some shopping. It is just so much easier to shop when you don't have a little girl helping with every single item!! Anyway- only 77 more anniversaries to go... (I told Dustin that I am living to 100) then, we can leave this earth together. THAT IS how it is going to happen..haha - love to all!!

Horseback Riding

One of the students that Dustin advices owns a horse and is on the equestrian team here at IU and graciously let Halle come out and see her horse! There were a ton of horses out there and Halle was having the time of her life. She got to feed the horse peppermints and ride on it. After we were done feeding the horse Halle kept saying "more m&ms please", speaking for the horse...saying the horse wanted more! Super cute and super fun!!

Coloring with Chalk

After the cold front this was the first warm day we have had for a while! So, Halle and I decided that it was a chalk day. She loved coloring with chalk- so by the time it was done we had chalk everywhere!! We are excited for the warm weather to be coming...hopefully it stays for a while this time!!

Birthday boy pics!

Here are some pics of Birthday boy enjoying his breakfast and presents. And yes...the mouthwash was a present...and yes, that is weird but I thought it was a great idea!! (It came with bleaching trays etc...)
