These are a few of my favorite things

First up: I don't have a pet, but if I did, I would hang it's leash from one of these little wall hooks from IKEA.

Aren't they funny? I bought the pink one for my sister.
I think I love it even more because everything at IKEA has a funky sweedish name.
Except for these. On the reciept, it rang up as a "hook ass". hahahahahha. Awesome.

Super Corbin.
Awesome.


Love the necklace he chose to go with his cape (which is reversible and has a pink liner and princess option on the other side. I had two daughters, first, ok?) Baby in Cape = Awesome.

Attention:

The heavens have opened.

Between the part in the skies, boxes of this goodness have been delivered to your local walmart. (yes. buy it at walmart. First, because Aaroni s the popcorn buyer and this is his item. Second, because it is cheaper at walmart than target)

Mmmm it's like someone sqeezed a fresh lime all over a bowl of buttery popcorn and sprinkled it with sea salt. Delicious. Must be eaten hot. Get two boxes, the first one won't last.

Thank you Kasey for bringing this goodness into my life. Salt & Lime Popcorn = Awesome.

It's that time of year again.
Aaron brought these lovelies home for me on Tuesday.

Tulips in winter make me very very happy.

Happy enough to hate winter a little bit less.

See the yellow flowers in the background? He bought me those three weeks ago, and they are still kickin'!

Flowers in milk bottles = Awesome.

Up next: The Snuggie.

Ok, first of all, the snuggie is NOT awesome. It's the lamest thing ever made.

Do people really not know how to read a book whilst under a blanket?

And why not just put your robe on backwards?

Those of you who own one...don't feel upset by that last statement. I know it isn't your fault. The Snuggie was most likely a gift from a loved one/terrible present buyer. I feel for you.

If the snuggie WAS purchased by you...like if you actually called the infomercial and ordered one...well...that's where the awesome part comes in.

Everytime I see a photo like this one:

I am reminded of just how cool I actually am.

I've never really considered myself to be part the "cool" crowd. I'd like to offer my gratitude to the Snuggie for un-cooling everyone else, so I can at least feel cool by default.

The frequency of how often photos similar to this one are showing up on the internet has drastically increased since Christmas 2010. As a result, I'm starting to feel so cool I might have to run for Homecoming Queen, or something.





Not that any of you Snuggie-wearers would vote for me.
Looking cool at the expense of others = awesome.



I think my absolute favorite item this week is the Z Pack.

I had the flu 2 weeks ago. Then I was well, but my kids had ear infections, so life wasn't the grandest. Now they are well, but I got a sinus infection and today, a diagnosis of Bronchitis to boot. Lovely.



I freaking hate being sick. I'm so over it. Winter lasts twice as long when you're sick. I quarantined myself for like, forever after the flu, and I still never fully got a break from dr. visits. It's worn me pretty thin.

I'm so grateful for awesome Aaron and my awesome kids (they all make the favorites list, too). I haven't been very fun the last two days, and I'm glad they're still willing to keep me.



I'm so so SOOOO grateful for modern medicine. Antibiotics are a gift from God.

Feeling better = awesome.

Finally: My Preschool.
Being a mother really is the best job ever. I love it so much.
I feel like my job as an educator is second only to motherhood.
I love these children. I love the opportunity to nurture, play, teach, and laugh. These kids are so funny. I feel very blessed to have them come to my home every week, and I take my responsibility as a teacher very seriously. It is a joy and an honor to have a small role in the lives of these small, but very important people. I hope that what they gain from their experiences at my preschool is an understanding of their own great worth and abilities. I try to make learning fun.

They are amazing people.

No, I'm not about to start singing "I believe the children are our future" or anything...

I am just very aware, and very happy that I chose to work in the right business.

Kids waiting patiently in line while Mrs. Meg dotes over their cuteness and takes their picture =Awesome.

Happy Weekend!
