My Sleep Number is 30...

Can someone Please Help Me! Glade and I have spent the last three days bed shopping and all I have to say about it is ARGGGHHHH? I have laid on so many beds and the difference between the majority of them is so hard to tell. We have tried latex, temperpedic, posturpedic, spring, rubber coil, memory foam, air chambered, you name it, we probably tried it. We really like the latex as far as comfort, but when it comes to price you lay on one bed and it feels great and is a certain price, then you lay on the bed next to it and it feels the same but it is double the price??? We don't know what is the better brands or best prices so we go into these mattress and furniture stores pretty much blind. We love the bed we have now but I can't find it in a king.All the names have changed and they continue to change from store to store. One bed has one name at one store but when you go next door, the same bed has a different name and a different price. What the heck is going on??? Does anyone have any good advice about shopping for a bed, or any good or bad experiences they would like to share? If so please help me :)

Best of Luck to the Black Friday Shoppers

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving and an even more fabulous Feast! We would like to thank our friends the Kliens for inviting us over to a delicious meal. Thank you so much that food was fantastic! Of course we ate way to much but that is what its all about right! Spending time in good company reminiscing on the things we have to be thankful for and eating, eating, eating!

Twilight Movie Night

Thank heavens for wonderful hubby's who would do anything to make their wifey's happy!

Saturday morning started off with a yummy breakfast and then we all get cleaned up and headed to the church which was offering a holiday relief baby-sitting service for the day. We took McCoy and left him with some wonderful young women and then Glade and I headed out to see the much awaited TWILIGHT! I have been looking forward to the movie, it seems like ages ago that I read the books. Anywho the movie was definitely a must see. I really enjoyed it, was unsure of some of it, and in some parts I liked my own imaginitive version better, but I don't want to say to much about it in case you haven't seen it yet in which case I just have to say, "What are you Waiting for?"

The best part of the show was however the handsome man sitting next to me. Glade and I rarely go to the theatre so it is so fun to get out with just the two of us knowing Mac Man was safe and sound. We picked him up and he couldn't stop talking about the all the fun things he did and he was so proud of the craft he made. The girls were great! I'm so glad we know such wonderful young ladies.

In his own words...

This is a post more for me so I can remember some of Macs fancy phrases but I hope you enjoy it too. Here are just some random catch phrases that Mac shoots out there often,

"Awww Fiddle Sticks" (When things don't go his way)
"Basnoodle" (He made this up and says it most when he is acting silly or when he wants to call someone a silly name he will say, "Nah nah You are A Basnoodle Head"
And my current favorite,"Lets Talk about this."

The great and bad thing about McCoy these days is that he always has an "idea" or another way to do something. He never takes a simple NO for an answer. You have to give him an explanation and even then he will usually try to come up with a way around your explanation. I hate to admit it but I spend a good portion of my day debating with a three year old!

This is usually how most conversations start..."Ok, I have an idea..."
Today while stuck in traffic on our way to a birthday party he said, "I have an idea, I wished I could carry the car and fly up up high in the sky and get past Walmart (our distance measurement, if we pass Walmart we have gone really far) and then fly to the party so we can be there already." I told him that he had a good idea and that it would be great if he could fly but he would have to be super strong to carry a car and fly to which he replied, "Then lets go home and get my Superhero Costume then."

The other day he wanted to go to Toy's R Us and it was closed so he said, "I have an idea, we can dig a whole by the door and go under the ground and up in the store and see the toys." (said the future felon.LOL)

I love that he is so "innovative" (LOL), but the best part is that he doesnt really argue or fight with us, he just knows what he wants and he will give us reasons why he wants it and how we can get it for him. It does make it hard to tell him no sometimes. Sometimes I wish he would cry and scream so then I could say "well if your gonna act like that than NO you can't have it." But when he looks at me with those big eyes and says, "Mom, can I have Geo Tracks because I got lots of green stars and no red stars on my school sheet. (They are graded on behavior everday and Green stars mean good behavior). I told him if he continues to do good at school maybe Santa will bring it to him for Christmas to which he replied, "But I don't want Santa to bring it. What if he is scarry. I have an idea, you can get it for me K cuz tracks make me happy." Whats a momma to do...

And this was just such a cute descriptive moment I had to blog it.

McCoy had a headache the other day and this is how he told me.
"Mommy my head hurts, I think I swallowed some boxers and they are boxing and pounding in my head."

The "Stink" Eye!!!

Last Sunday McCoy woke up and without even the slightest bit of concern in his voice he said, "Guys, I can't open my eye. Are you awake, can you look at my eye?" He didn't freak out or anything it was like no big deal. Of course Glade and I freaked. Our poor boys eye was all swollen up and glued shut. Well we threw him in a hot shower and let the water wash a lot of the goop away and then we washed him up. I asked him if his eye hurt or was itchy or scratchy and he said, Nope feels fine. Go figure. I took him in on Monday morning and before we even went his eye was looking better. He did however have and infection so he has been on drops all week. His other eye ended up getting infected too but we had the drops so it didn't last but a day. Glade and I were worried about Mac being contagious especially since we all sleep in the same bed, but the Doc was not worried at all. She assured us that if he wasn't "gooping" than he wasn't contagious. She even cleared him for school. We have been so lucky with McCoy. Even when he does get sick it doesn't last more than a day. He has always been a healthy guy and things just don't keep him down long. He heals quickly thank goodness and rarely ever complains. He is our little trooper. I felt so awful for him but you would never even have known something was wrong because he was still bouncing off the walls at a hundred miles an hour. LOL.

When Mommy's away...the Boys will Play!

Do you ever spend what seems to be an endless amount of time scouring, scrubbing, dusting, combing over every inch of your home to ensure it is spotless only to come home to this... ... ...




And thats just the kitchen! I was gone to Bunko for just a couple of hours. (Im so thankful Bunko was so much fun. (I needed a night out). So at least I came home in a good & forgiving mood. (wink wink)

I can't get to upset though because I have seen just how much fun McCoy and Glade have playing together! McCoy sure loves his Daddy and their one on one time is very dear to him. And mommy loves her "baby breaks" too, but tell me...is it really a break when you have twice as much work to do when you get home? Oh well!
