Random Musings from my Yesterday

• R slept until 7:30 yesterday morning!!!
• R has discovered how to -- and loves to -- open the glass shower door in our master bathroom. It is quite hard to shower one-handed while holding the door shut with the other hand...especially if you plan to shave your legs.
• Clean sheet night!!!
• R has a ride-on rocket toy. He rarely ever rides on it and prefers to push it around by its handlebars instead. He's gotten really fast and really dangerous with it. Yesterday, he jammed it full speed into my left ankle. Did I mention I was also cutting fruit? Yeah...that could have been disastrous. 
• While backing out of the garage yesterday, I noticed a big spider on my passenger side window. Thankfully, it was on the outside. At first, I was just going to drive off and hope he blew away. Then, I decided I didn't want another traveling companion. So, I got out of the car and smushed it with my shoe. Juicy. Ew.
•  Because of said spider, I decided to run my car through a gas station car wash yesterday. I haven't been terribly attentive to my car since R was born; poor car! So, it's been a while since we've been through a car wash, and I didn't know how R would react. He thought the initial spray was hilarious! Then, as the big -- umm...what do you call those things? As the big spinny things whacked the car, his eyes got really big. Then he cracked up. He thought the entire process was the greatest thing ever!
• R was still up for the beginning of the Miami Dolphins game. Fergie sang the national anthem (a capella, I believe). R headbanged to it! 
• I unintentionally cleaned the filter in my vacuum cleaner yesterday. Disgusting. But my vacuum sucks in a good way instead of in a bad way now.

Here's R being dangerous with his rocket toy.

Fall Unfavorites

As a follow-up to my previous post about my favorite fall things, I thought I'd be fair and post about what I don't like about fall. Here goes:

• Pumpkin spice lattes 

And, I wish I did. I'm just not into pumpkin stuff. I will certainly settle for knowing that whatever warm beverage I order, it won't make me break out into a sweat. 

I would add raking leaves to that list, but we just have a couple of really tiny trees. Jason can use the mower to take care of whatever leaves actually happen to fall in our yard.

Best. Christmas. Ever.

 It was overwhelming. But it was pretty darn perfect. 

We started our morning very peacefully, just the three of us. I'll cherish this photo forever.

And this is one of my favorite pictures. I can't look at it without laughing.

The icing on the cake was experiencing my first-ever WHITE Christmas! It was very special to be able to have my first white Christmas, my husband's first white Christmas and my son's first white Christmas all be at the same time. How exciting!

One of my favorite things

I just laughed so hard I cried. It doesn't get much better than that. This is why.
