Despite my restful day yesterday I am really dragging today. I had a lot that I needed to get done, but had no motivation what-so-ever. So, I decided since I didn't feel like doing any housework, why not scrap a little? I finished up the baby calender that my mom gave me today. It turned out so cute, but of course I made a big mess! (You should see my floor...yikes!)

My dear sweet husband decided to buy me a remote start for my van as my Christmas gift, but like a typical man he waited until the last minute to get it. He went to the car shop on December 23rd about 5 at night and of course they told him there was no way they could get it put in until well after Christmas. So, he got a gift certificate so I could get it done later. Well, apparently lots of wives got remote starts because I wasn't able to get an appointment until January 21st to get it put in!! We had all those cold days and every time I would think to myself how nice a remote start would have been right about then...LOL! And of course I had to tease my hubby and remind him that the gift certificate was doing a poor job of warming up my car for me! But now it's in and I absolutely love it!! I guess since I have that now I can tolerate winter for a bit longer!
Yesterday I went in for my 3 hr glucose test...check out my other blog for more info..anyway, I had to fast for 12 hrs before the test and for 3 1/2 hours during the test. They drew my blood every hour on the hour, so needless to say I watched the clock a lot!! Surprisingly enough the time passed quickly and I survived...I didn't starve to death like I thought I might...LOL! Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for good results!!
Today, our 44th president was sworn into office. Obviously I did not take this picture, but it is something significant that has happened this year and something that will always be a part of our history. I know a lot of people are worried about this man being the leader of our country, but I feel that it is what it is. The only thing we can do now is pray that God will give him wisdom to do what is best for us and our country. And despite any ones political views it is a day to be remembered. It shows that no dream is too big and that all things are possible.
Monday the kids didn't have school. We really had a relaxing day. First we took Sam to the doctors for his check up. Then we had lunch at Mcy D's. We also made a stop at Target to check out their clearance deals. After we got home I got some scrapbooking done. I'm working on the baby calender that my mom got me for Christmas. The kids were a little tired so they decided to pop in a movie and chill out on the floor. I just thought it was so cute how they we all cuddled up together...that doesn't always happen :)
Sunday we spent the day over at my mother-in-laws house. She love having her family over on the weekends. She especially loves spending time with her grand babies. Of course, she always makes us a great meal too. This day we all thought cookies sounded good, so grandma and the girls decided to whip some up. She is so wonderful about letting the kids help and they love it. Here they are mixing the ingredients in the mixer. They each took turns scraping the bowl and turning the mixer on and off. Then they each got to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet. They are good little bakers. The cookies were delicious and it didn't take long before they were gone!
