wake me up before you go go ...

{sidenote: this chick LOVES her summer hats ... but only in the Winter! i mean, come on... who doesn't like to rock a funky summer hat on a -8 degree day!?}

good morning darling friends ....

this just in:

- the gauze is off of miss thang's hand (praise Jesus!) and was replaced with 2 sturdy bandaids.

- she refers to the umbrella on her shirt as a "Bell Ella" {cracks me UP!}

- when you ask her if she wants milk or water in her sippy cup... she taps her chin with her pointer finger (like a rockstar detective) and say's "juice!" i say "no juice right now... milk or water?" and she says "Hmmmmm... milk or water? (pause) JUICE!"

can we say persistant? yes. we. can.

can we say here's some milk? yes. we.can.

Cheers!

maggie.

good night nurse.

whew.

hello friday...

where have you been all my life!!?

we have had quite the past 24 hours here on the homestead...this mama woke up yesterday feeling nast-ay... so it was off to the dr.

cue: sinus infection and left lung bacterial infection...

What. The. Heck is that about!?

hello antibiotics, lots of water and rest!

***i am singing in church on sunday... with or without a runny nose,

continuous sneezing

and some coughing

... pretty sure there are no scouts coming from american idol...***

let's hope!:)

then it was josie's turn to have a visit with the doctor...she pinched her finger in a boat seat at gander mountain,a lot of blood and crying was involved,a frantic mommy drove like a maniac to the ER,an x-ray showed NO broken finger (whoo hooo)but they had to glue the incision - steri strip it - and wrap her entire hand in gauze.

the gauze has come off about 5 times today...

miss thang is not all about the white gauze messing with her peace!

and i'm sure she will LOVE the bread bag around her hand for bathtime!

other than these little incidents we are fine and dandy!

it is snowing, as we speak (it's about time)AND the weekend is right around the corner!

Yippy Skippy!!!

:)

~I hope you all have a marvelous day~

xoxo,

maggie.

if you're happy and you know it say hooray!

Good Morning!

Buenos Dias!

Smell the coffee... dip your head in it if you'd like...

:)

*Dora is on in the livingroom.

*My daughter is wearing a red shirt with a big pink cupcake on it and it looks SO CUTE! I had to talk her into wearing it (she would rather be a naked monkey) and pretend to eat the cupcake, tickle her, distract her... and now she has forgotten about it completely! Score 1 point for mama!

*Today, I will be purchasing fresh, fabulous TULIPS from the grocery store! I spied them yesterday and could have cried!!! They are my favorite! And when it is ZERO degrees outside... a beautious tulip boquet inside really makes me feel the LOVE!

*I came across a file of some photos from when Josie was just a wee lass... and had to share this picture with you lovies.... she had been practicing her crawling - and that's just about enough to tucker out a little chickie... so she decided right in front of the fridge was a great place for a snooze!

:)

this child has blessed my life sooooooooooo much!

here's a couple other thangs that made me

~smile~

hello CaBeLa'S.... your animals rock!

yesterday was great.

we had a little family style date to Cabela's

:)

the hubster had a gift card from Christmas that was burning a hole in his pocket,

so we loaded up into the truck... drove an hour to get there (luckily it's worth it!)

and checked out all of the animals!!!
josie was enamored of the moose and fishies

:)

hubby was enamored of the ice fishing gear...

snapped a pic on my phone...

then we headed to Benigan's for some supper....

josie was an ABSOLUTE RIOT!!!!

sipping mama's lemon water...

... then letting out a big "ahhhhhhh..."

(as in... Wow that tastes GrEaT! So refreshing!")

girlfriend never fails to crack me up!!!

(thanks for snapping some picks honey! xxoo.)

~*~*~*~*~

got some sad news this morning...

a dear family friend of ours got the sad news that her horse, Hawkeye, passed away yesterday.

he was living at a separate farm, but still hers, and i can't even fathom her sadness.

she made me a necklace last winter, that has some of Hawkeye's horse hair in it, and i am wearing it today, thinking of her... and praying that time heals her heart!!!

i hope all of you have a SpLeNdId Monday!!!

much love,

maggie

dear spring... you do realize it's January, don't you?

so, we've had unSeasonably w*a*r*m weather 'round these parts, and little miss has had the chance to enjoy her sandbox before it is covered in massive amounts of snow for the winter!

i couldn't resist snapping a few pic's of her doing her thang...

check out the owl (aka "hoo hoo" ) hat she's rockin! (thank you SaRa - you da best!)

{sidenote: i absolutely love when she "squats" and plays for long amounts of time!!! i don't know how girlfriend does it.... it makes my legs throb thinking about it! and then i feel a little elderly...}

enjoy:

happy weekend y'all.

~me.

badda bing, badda boom...

hello.
