That and this

Hum...January.  I'd ask where it went, but lets be honest, January is the most boring month of the year so who's asking that?  After the new year's eve bash (see previous post) nothing happens in January except for a house with a stir crazy mom, kids that cry because their Christmas toys are becoming a thing of the past, and my overly cluttered Christmas cottage home gets stripped of its festivities leaving my small home to suddenly feel....empty.  So I patiently wait for February cause its my favorite month....but in the mean time....
                                  enjoy some of the randomness that does occur in our home.

I just have to post this picture, cause it will embarrass Cordelle and I think its so cute!  He was filming one day at work and they took some still shots and I liked this one the best.  My blue eyed man!! 

Jaq is still, well a struggle at times, and bed time is one of those time.  But after fighting with her to go to sleep and then finding the end result as this....it totally made it worth it.  Hey, what ever's comfortable sweetie.
Are we at Disneyland or something, you might ask?  NO.  We were passing through Gunnison Utah when we saw this gem at the Ford Dealership.  Are you kidding me?  Its a real truck someone turned into Mater!  We had to get out and take a picture with it. Did we take time to let Seth put on shoes? No again. With coolness like this, there is no time for trivial things like shoes (that, and we couldnt find them in the wonderland which is the car floor.... and it was cold). But Jimbo- who knew your hometown could be so cool?

Saw these sweet things on Pinterest and let me just say, they look way better in this picture than they did in real life.  They were a mess.  And they took FOREVER.  Oh minions! Goes to show you what can happen when you try to copy someone else's really cool idea.  Also helps to have icing equipment, the corner of a ziplock bag really does not make very straight lines.  Ahh well, it was for a scout auction so hopefully they got at least a nickel off of some of these guys!

This is down in the spare bedroom and I am actually working out on our elliptical cause we are space savers and double our spare bedroom as a workout room slash additional storage room slash staged nap room (did I really just write out the words "slash" instead of using the symbol / ?. So yes, this is totally staged and Jaq is NOT asleep.  But she put so much work into getting all her blankets, pillows, dolls and the camera and then begged me to take a picture of her because it was "cute" that I couldn't resist.  It is cute. And had she really been asleep so that I could have really enjoyed the peace and quiet my workout at home NEVER is, then it would have been even more cute.
