So I’ve not been spending a lot of time thinking about posting or wanting to post. I’ve actually been spending a lot time at Love’s, Mandy’s, Tam’s, and Michelle’s and it’s been pretty fun. You should really check them out.

Tomorrow (friday) we are going to look at a Cockapoopoo at a breeders house about 45 minutes outside of Minot. Kind of excited, but nervous about getting a dog. It’s been awhile since we’ve had a dog, but we know we really want one too. Jake said tonight “do we REALLY want to do this?” and I said “well do you think you will ever NOT want a dog or stop talking about wanting a dog?” And that wasn’t specific to him, that’s both of us I was talking about. It’s a big undertaking, but we’ve missed having a dog.

Tammy and Mandy have done a HILARIOUS video for Blogging Etiquette that you should check out if you haven’t already. Seriously funny. You can see it HERE or HERE.

Jake goes back to work, official work, on Monday. I guess that is when “real life” will begin. Meaning, he won’t be home to hang out during the day. *sigh* Oh well, it had to end sometime right??

I have been having the WORST dreams lately. Absolutely awful dreams. The kind where you wake up sick to your stomach and MAD and sad and almost crying. I hate those kind of dreams. They ruin my whole day. Like this morning, I woke up COMPLETELY thinking my dream last night was real, and I was so upset and it made me grumpy for my whole day. It’s emotionally draining when you have such awful dreams like that. This happens every once in awhile where I dream like this for a period of time. I don’t know why, but I would like it to stop.

Owen has become an even BIGGER night owl than before, if that’s possible. The kid is sucking the life out of me. Also, he is more clingy than ever before and I can’t figure out why. I’m hoping he’ll grow out of it b/c it’s getting old really fast. I can’t even walk up the stairs w/o him freaking out.

OH! Speaking of stairs, he KNOWS when the gate has been left unlatched and he boogies to those stairs so fast! He can make it up them so fast too. He gets to the landing before the next set of stairs and I catch him and he gets all giggly and smiles and claps his hands while he bounces up and down. He loves it. Little stink. Soooo, now I’ve started letting him climb the stairs as long as I am right behind it. He thinks it’s so fun.

The boys and I went to the library twice this week. Once with all five of us, the second time just me and the older two. They LOVE IT. They have never been to a library before and they are just SO EXCITED about it. And it has really affected them when it comes to reading too. Now Dylan is practically BEGGING us to read to him. I love it. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this summer, as it is only a 15 minute walk at most.

We found a park that is only three blocks from our house. I am so excited about that b/c I won’t need the truck during the day like I had thought I would. We can just walk to that park when Jake is at work instead of the one that is almost 2 miles away. So with that and the library being so close we should be able to keep busy during the day while Jake is at work.

I’ve gotten some decorating done around here. Not a lot, but some. Everything is unpacked besides TONS of boxes of books. I am waiting to get some bookshelves for all of them before I unpack them. I have so many books it’s ridiculous, more than I thought I had. I don’t want them laying all over here like they were at our house before.

I’m back to cooking too so that is good. The boys keep asking for Meat Muffins. HAHA! They love those things! The other day when I made them I didn’t use my muffin tin, I just balled them up and made meat balls out of them. I like that better b/c it made more that way and the boys loved the balls. haha!

Okay, that’s enough random for now. Besides, O is up…..again….. *sigh*
