Oh lets see....

I've added pictures!!!

It's a beautiful day in Iowa. Almost 55 outside and the snow is melting oh so FAST!! To bad it looks like we're in for another active weather pattern. The first snow/rain is for Friday although that's forecasted to go more south of us. The next one, Monday evening/Tuesday. That one they are still watching. Man I'm SO ready to bid farewell to ol' man winter and HELLOOOO spring.

Waiting for C'man to wake up so we can go outside. I went and woke him up but he just grabbed his cozy blanket and rolled over. He is SO not a morning person and once he falls asleep for his nap, he's hard to wake up. Did I mention that he has his binky back too?? About 2 months ago we flushed one down the toilet. I told him if I find a binky downstairs it's going down the toilet. Well you know what happened. He tried to reach in and grab it after HE flushed it but the whirl was to fast and down it went. He cried and cried and actually I almost could have too. He loves his binkies. He's so cute with it too. So a couple weeks ago I NEEDED him to take a nap and I felt the only way i was going to accomplish that was to give him another one of his favorite binkies. He had 2 after the one we flushed but one i snipped the end of, 'it boke' he kept saying, and the other was no better then the snipped one. He wasn't going to sleep well at night either. I figured the heck with it. We were gone that weekend for my SIL's baby shower and being away from home, not to mention the ride HOME on AWFUL roads, I have him a binky. You should have seen his reaction when I pulled out 'the pink binky'. It's more like magenta, but none the less he calls it his pink binky. He was ELATED!

So now the arrangement is that it HAS to stay in his bed. He knows I'm not messing around any more since we flushed one down. He doesn't walk around all day with it, only at night. We figure that when it's time for Addie to bid farewell then he will too. BUT he also knows that he can't go to school if he still has a binky and you know what.....he could have a lot worse. He could still be on a bottle, suck his thumb, not be anywhere near being potty trained, so i just say the heck with it let him have the binky. If it makes my life easier and he goes to bed 100% better, then screw it. Speaking of going to bed, the other thing that helped was I plugged in a nightlight that only goes on if it's dark. He loves that, I love it even more.

At any rate, i have pictures i need to post of us giving the cows hay. On Sunday we all four rode in the tractor to feed the cows. It was fun. Do I have any readers out there that aren't the least bit familiar with 'farm life' (feeding the cows hay, tractors, etc) I'm curious. Don't want to share anything if it's of no interest to anyone.

Furthermore....I need more comments:) BFF-E thanks a million but where's everyone else?? Oh and tell me your remedies again for off setting a headache the day after some drinking. I'm refraining from calling it a hangover b/c i don't think that's really possible after only 3-5 mixed drinks. Is it?? our community center has our St Patricks Day Dinner and Dance Saturday Night. I'm so excited. Lots of DH's classmates and their wives are coming and we have ourselves a babysitter that we won't have to rush home by 930-10.

Thanks everyone!! do drop me a note, or 2, or 3, or 4.....
