angie and i had a wonderful time yesterday. we went to finish our christmas shopping and just had a date. we went to dinner and did our business at toys r us, the mall, and got groceries at walmart. we had a blast. nothing spectacular happened - we were just totally enjoying each other and being together. i love it when we have days like that. oh wait - an afterthought - something spectacular did happen - i got new shoes compliments of my girl! :)
when we got home i wrapped all the boys toys up and they are ready for santa to put them under the tree. angie is such a sucker. we had a very specific list to get at toys r us and we sooooo did not stick to our list. i've come to the conclusion it's a lost cause to not totally spoil them. angie totally defeats my purpose. she can't pass up anything she's in love with getting them. her self control is pitiful when it comes to her boys! :) but - in reality - that's why i love her!
next weekend is baby landon's baby shower (and his mama too!). i am so excited. the decorations are in a frog theme and not overly "baby". we wanted to do something out of the ordinary that wasn't the run of the mill baby shower. i made the centerpieces out of cattails and we used green and brown to decorate.
as of 9:00 on wednesday night i will be DONE with this semester. i am so glad. i feel so out of touch with everything because i am either at work or at school. i haven't seen my baby girl lilly in probably a month and that's just shameful. how am i supposed to be her favorite aunt when she never sees me? :) i'm going to do better as soon as school is out.
so most of you who know jaxson and his little outgoing personality know he says some really hilarious stuff. so i have a quote. at 4:00 am a few nights ago he came to get in bed with us and he had some sleepy stuff in his eyes and he said, "mommy i think i have crumbs from my cheerios in my eyes." i thought it was hilarious. :)
until next time... keep warm.

happy birthday to my blog.
so i'm tired of myspace but want to keep up with everyone so i thought i would try a blog. i'm addicted to reading my friend emily's blog and looking at pictures of her beautiful new baby girl. so i'm going to give it a try.
school sucks. i am so tired. i am in a seriously awful funk this semester. i am working 10 hour days at a new job that i am still learning and then that is mixed with school (and some incredibly boring professors) and two active little ones = bitchy meg! :) i feel sorry for my family sometimes.
we had an awesome trip to north carolina to visit the Kinney's and the Eddy's/Faison's. the weather was beautiful - 60's one day. the boys loved being able to tag along with alyssa. she was great with them. at times jaxson can be a bit overwhelming but she was a champ. they love her. it was a pretty uneventful trip up and back; however, normal kids sleep on roadtrips, right? ours do not! we figured this out in the summer coming home from the beach when they did not close their eyes for 12 hours. this trip was no different. for 8 hours we sang christmas carols and told jokes and laughed and drove mommy and gigi nuts!! :) we did some shopping while we were there (got some killer deals on a few christmas gifts at macy's!), ate lots of turkey, and celebrated a dinner out for val's national board certification. it was a great time.
today - i got to meet up with my brother and sister-in-law after her doctor's appointment and had breakfast and then finished up the shopping for their baby shower. i got to see the newest pictures of my baby boy landon that is on the way. i can't wait. only a few more months.
christmas is quickly approaching. santa is pretty much done shopping for logan and jaxson at our house. angie and i are having a date night on saturday to finish up. we got somewhat creative this year with gifts for others which i am really excited about. :)
i am "technically" supposed to be writing a research paper on civil rights but... i'm blogging instead. so back to it. i'll try to post often. who knows... :)
