cowboys game

kyle and i were lucky enough to score free tickets to the home opener of the dallas cowboys....his boss gave us 2 of his season tickets with a parking pass.  i seriously don't think i could have walked all the way if we didn't have such good parking.  we really got the hook-ups...close parking, suite entrance which meant no lines and second row seats.  it was so fun for us to get away and have a date.  neither one of us had been to the new stadium so that was a treat too.  here are a couple of pics from my iphone:

i'm thankful today...

this is just a quick post to say i am so very thankful for my husband...i am not writing this to be braggy because i know there are a lot of really amazing husbands out there that do soooo much for their own family but my husband gave me the best gift ever yesterday....he did ALL of the laundry! i know it's doesn't sound glamorous but it was something i was struggling with and dreading and having a hard time completing! some of it's due to my current "state" but a lot of it is just putting it off. i am soooo very thankful that he washed/ dried/ folded/ put away over 8 loads of laundry in one day. seriously...i know you moms know what a blessing it is to have all of the laundry done. i mean when is it every all done!? i just wanted to give him a shout-out and to tell you how thankful i am for him especially today!

oh and just a quick pic of the "art area" i created for the kids this weekend:

*disregard the unorganized toy shelves :)

it's a very small dent in the areas i want to finish around the house but because my sister, carrie, helped me clean up a bit and organize i was able to get this one area finished. next project: mud room bench/ hooks/ magnetic chalk board...this area is directly left of the the art area.

happy birthday kyle!

well i am behind...but better late than never! :)
