I've intentionally not joined in the whole facebook world. I don't have time to get sucked in to more time on the computer. Well, that is until now. I've caved and joined the madness. It's fun to see all the old SB crew and the SCSU gang too.
However, I had to peel myself away from the computer as I've noticed that 1 hour and 36 minutes have miraculously disappeared from my life.

Making a List.....
I asked Colton to go through the many toy catalogs we've gotten in the mail this week and write his name by the things on his Christmas Wish List. As I was flipping through the pages tonight, I came across this and couldn't help but giggle.
Saturday.....
It's been a productive Saturday. It started at 7am when I heard Brett yelling from his crib, "Mama, eat oatmeal please."
I decided rather than starting a home improvement project like I'm one to do when Mike is deer hunting, I'd get started on my Christmas cookie baking. I made 98 Snikerdoodles, 58 Chocolate Crinkles and 50 Christmas bars. I lost motivation to make Gingersnaps and Peppermint Snowballs.....I'll get to those next weekend.
The most exciting part of my day? The furniture arrived! I ordered 2 nightstands, the head board/foot board and the dresser. Our room is pretty small so unfortunately both nightstands don't fit on the sides of the bed given our closet doors fold out to open up. So, I had to put the other nightstand on the side of the dresser, which for right now works fine as a tv stand until Mike gets it mounted on the wall.
I wrapped up the day making a few Lincoln Log houses, playing Matchbox cars and teaching Colton how to leg wrestle. Right now the boys are enjoying some popcorn and watching a movie. Me? I'm blogging and sipping on some wine. Life is good.

Cannot Wait.....
Can I just say how excited I am to FINALLY be getting our furniture delivered on Saturday?!
It will be so nice to have a dresser again! Not to mention, a bedframe so we can get the mattress off the floor!

Kids......
A couple of weeks ago, Colton started showing quite a bit of interest in the election. He spent a weekend with his grandparents and from then on knew he was voting for McCain. He wanted to know who his dad and I were voting for. He was asking all the neighborhood kids who they were going to vote for.
I asked him why he wanted to vote for McCain. His reasoning was perfect for a six year old boy....."Because he's got cain in his name, just like one of the guys from Friday Night Smackdown" (just an fyi - we DO NOT let him watch that kind of tv, but he does pick up a few things from daycare).
When he found out that his dad and I were not voting for McCain he begged and pleaded for at least one of us to. Why can't you? Pleeeeeaaaaasssseee Mom!
Anyhow, his elementary school voted yesterday. He excitedly came running down the driveway after getting off the bus to tell me that "McCain won. Well, not in real life yet, but at my school!"
He proceeded to tell me that Will, a boy on the bus, told him that if Obama wins we might as well put our guns on the front porch.
Which led me to an explanation about gun control with a six year old. Fun.
