I'm thrilled to announce that we did it! We actually made it to get Hulk's hair cut before our coupon expired! This mama loves a good deal and a good deal it was. Hulk got his haircut for $4.99. Not only did he get his hair cut but he also got a cool lightening bolt shaved into the side of his hair and he got two suckers! What a steal!
I spent a good part of the day working. Had lots of Valentine Portrait Sessions today. But tomorrow we are heading to the city to see Heather and take Hulk to do something fun. Family days make me very happy! I'm sure I'll have lots of pics to share tomorrow evening or Monday.
Have a super weekend!

ADD
I've got a little adult ADD going on today. I have about a million and one thoughts in my head and can't seem to get any one thing sorted out. So frustrating! I even made a to do list and can't seem to stay focused at all. Since I love to share I'll just share some of the randomness going through my head right now.
I need to get Hulk's hair cut. I have a coupon that is only good till the 6th and I must use it. However I have a million other things to do before the 6th so that might not happen.
I wish I didn't have to get his hair cut. Maybe I could let it grow again and braid it.
I've tried growing it. I never get passed the annoyed stage. Just cut it while you have the coupon....
While I'm out that way I've got to get some different lotion for his face. His face looks like someone sandpapered it. This weather is killer for his skin.
That makes me think of what my sister says "He's a tropical people." He needs some humidity and sunshine. Maybe I should send him to Corpus to visit Granny and Papa for a week. His skin would clear up then.
That reminds me I need to get their Valentine package sent. Where is a box...
Oh crap I forgot to order Hulk's valentine's. I've got to do that!
And it goes on and on and on!
Is your head as full of crap as mine is? I wish I had a pause button...

Snow Day Success
Our snow days were quite successful. I didn't get a single bit done around the house but we stayed busy and entertained and had a lot of fun. So I'll count it as successful. Just promise not to come inspect my floors or laundry piles. YIKES!
Peanut Butter Play Dough was a huge hit with Hulk. He likes regular play dough and he likes to "make" food. So I let him help me make up a batch of the dough and then he got to play with it and eat it. Playing and eating. Two of his favorite things. I also gave him some other things like cereal, pretzels, and coconut to decorate his creations with as well as eat. Big hit!
The recipe for peanut butter play dough is pretty simple. In fact it's really simple because I didn't have all the ingredients the recipe called for and we were snowed in so I just created my own...
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup milk
Mix all the ingredients together until dough forms. You may have to add a bit more milk or powdered sugar to get the consistency right.
Have fun and eat your treats!

Snow Day
We have one heck of a storm headed our way. At least that is what the weatherman says. I'm not quite sure I believe it. For my blog readers in snowy states like Minnesota and North Dakota our big storm probably seems like a walk in the park. But Kansas doesn't react well to lots of snow. Or well anything more than 3 inches of snow.
Since we react poorly to large amounts of snow and our city doesn't seem to know how to clear roads my office is closed tomorrow and Wednesday! I'm thrilled that I don't have to get out and drive but I'm a little nervous about being stuck inside for a couple more days with just the kidlet and I.
Today I picked up a few supplies to get us through the next couple days. Some craft supplies and what not. I've got a couple games planned and hopefully I can keep him busy and away from the television as much as possible. I get so sick of the tv! Planned activities are a must!

Crafty Kid
I've got one crafty kid. Today we worked on Valentine's Cards. He thought that was cool. Anything that involves a sticker is pretty darn great in his book! So he stuck stickers on everything and colored while I cleaned the kitchen and took breaks to cut out more hearts for him. Very productive day for my little crafter. I believe half the state of Kansas will be getting a Valentine made by Hulk.
I also took pictures today. Lots of pictures. Which means that as soon as I'm done typing this post I will be editing pictures... Lots of pictures. I had several really cute kiddos today so I'm hoping I got some great shots. We will see....
Have a super weekend!

Dear Snow
Dear Snow-
I used to love you when I was a kid. But my love affair with you has ended since having a kid of my own. You always tease me and that causes me great pain. I look out the windows and you seem so gentle and beautiful. And then I put my coat on and my kids coat on and we venture out and in no time he is screaming about you freezing his face. So because I'm a nice mom I pick him up and let him bury his frozen face into my neck and I continue to head to the car. But snow you again tease me. You look so soft on the ground but no no you are not! You are really slippery and you make me fall into you in the driveway of the daycare so everyone can see me. The other parents see me about throw my frozen faced toddler into the street as my fat body flies about. Of course I land in the biggest pile of snow there is. My kid falls on top of me and I feel like a turtle stuck on my back in the middle of a blizzard. By the time I finally get myself out of the snow pile and get the kid in the car I'm covered in frozen bits of snow and ice, my coat wasn't fastened so my shirt is soaked and somehow snow has gotten into my bra. The kid is crying, my boobs are frozen and the radio says we are getting 4 more inches of you tonight. Yeah I'm officially over you. So dear snow please go away!
Thanks much!

Running Away
We are running away! Just for the weekend. But running away we are! We are off to the big city to visit with family, celebrate a birthday, and just have a good time. My phone doesn't work so well where we are going so there will be zero work involved. Just fun! We are ready. We are set. And we are gone!!!!
