I thought this was so hilarious when I saw it on instagram. It perfectly describes this holiday season for me. Although I in no way think I resembled Barbie at the beginning (and my start date was more like November 24)... but I definitely turned into Carbie by January 1. Lol!!
Like I said in the last post, I was in a serious funk after Christmas. And Phil had to work three nights in a row after everyone left, which was rough. I tried to distract myself with thinking about Downton Abbey starting in a few days and drowned my sorrows in the meantime with many British movies (and wine... **see above). Here are scenes from two of my favorites that I was able to watch only because Phil was not in the house. Lol. Sense and Sensibility (mmmm Hugh Grant)...
And then this is probably THE best scene in any romantic movie ever made ever. If you don't know this scene then you need to run out right now and rent Pride and Prejudice (the newest one). Holy Cow this scene is amazing (as is the whole movie... music, scenery, costumes, characters, everything)...
This part at the end is also very great! :) I love British movies, books, history so much. (You may be thinking... "What a weirdo... why is she taking pictures of her TV screen?" Well, I was alone and drinking wine and texting about the movie back and forth with my sister so that's why!!! Lol.)
Aaaaannnnyyyywayyyy... Back to America and reality... Here are some cuties snuggling on the couch...
And Emmett's amazing Lego creation that he made one afternoon...
He had a great explanation for everything on here...
Not great, but I'll take it! Lol.
And then... to add to the post-Christmas funk... there was "The-Game-That-Must-Not-Be-Named" on January 1st. This beer sweater was a Christmas present from my friend Aree and I texted her this pic before the game started... telling her that I was ready to watch the game with my lucky Alaska flag beer sweater on! :) Halfway through the third quarter she texted me back... "Please don't blame the beer sweater!!!!" Lol! Was that the worst game ever, or what?!? (**no comments from the Oregon peanut gallery**)
Everyone playing together nicely for a few seconds... and Davis in Uggs. :)
We went skating again and took everyone this time!
Davis loved running around everywhere and especially loved these padded poles.
And he really loved when Daddy carried him while he skated. Although he had to stop doing that because it was against the rules. :)
Trips to Home Depot...
And Target... They love to look at toys (Legos) at Target.
Boy, did Davis ever love this! Phil did this with him a few times, but then one time D just let go all of a sudden and took a tumble, so no more electric scooter rides for D for a while.
More couch snuggling. Phil got that FSU blanket in Korea and it is the warmest and snuggliest thing ever. We pulled it out when we started having fires on the porch a few months back and haven't been able to put it away!
Getting ready for our trip to Denver (posts about that coming soon!)...
And yet another Home Depot trip to get some rocks for the side of our house. Reid loves to dig over there and always gets so sandy and filthy (and we have stray cats around that I worry use that dirt as a litter box and then Reid digs in it) so we decided to fill that area in with little rocks that the boys can dig with. My sis Leslie has these at her house and the boys love them.
It's a work in progress, but you get the idea. :)
