Here are a few random pictures from the past couple of weeks. Above is Hudson with his scripture bag on his hat. I think he said he was being a unicorn?
Hudson with his underwear on the outside of his pajama pants. This kid literally lives in pajama pants all day long. I should probably make him get dressed for the day, but I live in my pajama pants pretty much all day, too, so I can't blame him for wanting to be comfy!
Hudson is quite the handyman. Here he is with his tools, tool belt and all, "fixing" the office chair. He's so helpful!
I found this cool website called Dollar Store Crafts and that's where I learned how to make this wreath. It cost me 3 dollars to make. $1 for the foam wreath, $1 for some random book to rip the pages out of, and $1 for the flowers. Pretty clever, eh?
This? Well, I just thought this was funny. Jeff was making Ramen noodles for all of us, and for some reason he thinks everyone needs theirs cooked in their own pan. He used 3 pans for 3 different servings of Ramen. {Rolling eyes and sighing just thinking about it! A little giggle, too. I love that man!}
I cut out the pictures from the Christmas photo cards we received, and decided I could use some of the scraps for gift tags next year. Some of them were just too cute to throw away! I only made these 6 (do you recognize your card?!) but I thought they'd be cute for neighbor gifts or whatever. I just backed them with some cardstock scraps. And when I'm ready to use them I'll probably just punch a hole through a corner and add some ribbon. Or not, if I'm feeling lazy.
This last picture is of Hudson sleeping on his floor. He's being going through this "I don't like my bed" phase. So for a few nights he preferred to sleep on the floor. Now he's decided he doesn't like the floor either, and is back in his bed, but it's a struggle. Every night he cries that he doesn't like his bed, but he won't say why. He says he's scared of the hall. And his toothpaste. He's had a nightlight, we leave his door open with the hall light on, we assure him he's safe...nothing works. Last night he was up until almost midnight because he was scared, but he won't tell us what of. It's so frustrating! He wants to sleep in our bed, and we've let him a few times, but I don't want him to get in that habit, so I've been pretty firm in not letting him do that anymore. Any suggestions???In other news:
*I signed Hudson up for preschool in the fall. He is growing up too fast, I am so sad.
*Jeff and I are having a "Biggest Loser" contest. Whoever loses the most from Christmas to April (tracked by the Wii) wins $50.
*I want to run a 5k this year. I am doing a "Couch to 5k" program. Hopefully this will help me win the biggest loser contest. I think I have the advantage since I have more flab to lose that Jeff.
*We've finally gone to the doctor to talk about infertility again. And now I'm an emotional, nervous, stressed basket case. Over nothing. I just get so stressed about it and I think that's why it's so hard for me to even call the doctor. Jeff thinks I'm loony, but he is good about being supportive. I just feel like my biological clock is ticking away and every fiber of my being is ready to explode I want a baby so bad. But enough about that already.
*I've recently taken an interest in couponing. Then I attended a class about it this week, and now I'm super excited and can't wait for my 4, yes 4, Sunday newspaper subscriptions to start arriving. Check out the "She Shops Smart" button in the top right corner. I'm thinking about hosting a class, so let me know if you want to come! It's awesome!

you are so Creative! I love the wreath...super cute! good luck with the biggest loser thing... and there are a ton of 5K in utah june-august...I think they are fun! Have you signed up for one?
AH!! So much to say, I hope I remember it all. Biggest loser-fun!! I just signed up to do one at my gym. I think its 8 weeks? 5K-awesome!! So funny about the 3 pans of ramen! I like your carpet--what else-no ideas on the back to bed, it will probably just happen. I can't wait to look at the coupon site. And just last week I was thinking of getting more newspaper subscriptions for more coupons! I can see why the DR thing would make you all over the place. You have the right to feel however you're feeling! Glad Jeff's a good support. :)
Ah-I knew I'd forget something. I LOVE the wreath and I really want to make it! Can't wait to look at that site too. Its hard to make a kid change when they look so cute in jammies. When preschool comes around you can worry about it then. :) I know there's still one thing I'm forgetting..oh well.
Ah Nichole You have been busy! I love the wreath and the Christmas Cards idea! I think mine was in the top left?:) Anyway, good for you with the couch to 5k and the coupon cutting. I really need to get into that, but the thoughts of all those newspapers overwhelm me. I might be interested in coming to a class though if you hosted it. Mark did a 5K diet in the fall and he could tell a major difference. I'm having a hard time getting motivated so hearing about you helps! Okay, long comment, I'll let you go:)
You overwhelm me....you are so hilarious. I have quit blogging all together but I love to read em. Hey, I am going to call you to come run...I love to run. I will have you ready for a 5k in no time! And win that $50!
haha hudson is so funny, the only way to keep close on mekhi is to have him wear his pajamas (even under his clothes) that wreath is so cute i love it! and next time your up this way come visit! and ill do the same.
