You are so creative.  I love the canvas idea, so cute.  I think I need to come out to your house to see everything you have done since the last time I was there.  I try to picture where everything is but I think C needs to send me out there to really get the full effect.

I had a really fun weekend.  Party at the house, party at Old Chicago's, football watching from the couch all day after an AMAZING sermon at church, all in all I think it was a great weekend. It started off with a bang on Friday afternoon when C and I went to a certain store and found a recipe taped to the shelf.  OH MAN!  AMAZING.  This in a mommy only recipe, just so you know.  Quinnie always asks "is this a yucky drink" to which we respond yes or no depending on it's contents.  This is definitely "yucky" by Quinnie's standards but SOOOOO GOOOOD.  I may or may not have single handily finished off the bottle (okay slight exaggeration but I had quite a few drinks).  C put the kids to bed fairly early and then he made me up a drink, we rented a movie (I don't recall ever watching it) and  had a GOOD night just the two of us.  These little drinks had me sleeping like a baby around 10 or so (I could have sworn it was pert near 2am but I have been told I was out like a light much sooner than that).  Oh now don't start lecturing me about being a responsible drinker...blah blah blah... remember that while everyone was having fun in their early twenties I kept having babies (I know Dad I have no one to blame but myself, well and C but I digress).  So now is my time for some fun and why not.... okay you know me, this excessive partying was truly 3 drinks I'm no party animal.  All in good fun, in the privacy and protection of my little basement room :).  Every once in awhile you have to let your hair down!  So the next time you have a bunco party (without the pastor's wives :)) or a Vampire Diary viewing party, or a martini party (Mom you listening) you have to take this little number.

I will totally be keeping this little gem stocked from now on.  Well I have to go tuck the monsters in bed.  They all had a long weekend and tomorrow might be a rough morning.  I am thinking a "shot" of Mountain Dew might be needed to get these guys up and moving for school.  Lou just informed C that "he didn't like school".  I find this hard to believe since he talks non-stop about how much fun he has.  But he did tell Mom the other night that he had 7 days without school.  Not sure what that is all about, we will probably have an altercation tomorrow morning before he remembers how fun it is to leap out of a moving vehicle and run into the safety of the school.  He has such a good imagination.  Right this very minute he came and asked me for help to which he turned around and I had to pull a pillow out from under his shirt.  "What it's for protection"... oh Lou I love you.   Give Little One my love and Mr.I.  Miss you!!!!!!
