Miscellaneous

The weather has been perfectly miserable here so far this week, and there's a chance of snow on Friday!  Sunday, it's finally supposed to be in the mid-50's, but of course, it's also supposed to rain all day.  Come on warm weather!  We're ready to be outside!


About a month ago, we had the boys' pictures taken.  I really wanted to get them done for Charlie's 1 year birthday, and with a Groupon deal, I was able to get Abe's taken too for the same fee.  I was really happy with how they turned out!  I had wanted more traditional portraits for the frames we already had, and these captured them both really well at their ages.  Abe, always a ham for pictures, full of energy, and Charlie, this face is SO him right now!  It's kind of a mix of inquisitiveness and "did I get caught?"!  Unfortunately, due to copyright, I can't put them on my sidebar, but I wanted to at least share them!

Last week, I won a free pizza!  Woohoo!  Ryan and I both get Papa John's texts (about once a week, showcasing a particular special) which also enters you in a random free pizza drawing.  I've won twice now!  Pretty fun!  We decided to get it on Friday, so I headed out around 5 PM to pick it up.  It was quite delicious, and we really enjoyed it!

The next morning, I headed out to the garage to go to the grocery store.  When I opened the garage door, I was startled when I saw that our car wasn't there.  Abe became more frantic than I, quite worked up and wondering why in the world I opened the garage door if our car wasn't inside.  I realized then that I had parked on the street after picking up the pizza, because our landlord was washing his car, and I didn't want to make him move.  And of course, I forgot to move it back into the garage later that evening.

Seems like not such a big deal, except for the fact that there isn't any street parking allowed between 4 AM and 6 AM.  I was so frustrated, because our "free" pizza had now cost us $28.50 in the form of a parking ticket! On the bright side, they don't ever tow, only ticket, so at least the car was still there! 


Last night we had some homemade chocolate pudding for a treat.  Charlie really seemed to enjoy himself!

Charlie has been extremely cranky lately due to 4 new teeth coming in.  I had to laugh, because the other night he had on these PJ's, and I happened to catch a half-smile.  Notice, his jammies say "Who You Callin' Crabby"!  It made me think about the exact same situation happening with Abe a few years ago, wearing the same PJ's, sick and quite cranky,  but smiling for the camera.  They're just a month apart here!  I love how they can share some of their clothes--for some reason it's just so precious to me!

And that's all for now..  Thanks for reading!
