First 5 Thoughts

My mind has been bogged down with all sorts of half-posts lately.  Like the first sentence of a post and then nothing more.  So here is my mind-cleansing post that will hopefully lead to happier more productive posting in the near future.

1.  I love my little Nashy-Baby.  I don't think I love him any more than my other kids, that is pretty much forbidden right?  But he is a baby and he is superly-duperly cute and cuddly.  Loving him is just so easy.

2.  I am ready for the holidays.  Not like ready-ready.  Just ready for it all to get going.  Tonight I was actually wishing it was tomorrow night because I am ready to cook/bake.  I'm making 3 pies.  All new recipes.  I hadn't realized that until I just typed it, I hope at least one of them turns out.  (super high expectations for myself, huh?)

3.  I have become addicted to pintrest.  Is anyone else having the same issue?  I love it.  I mostly just look at stuff and hope that I will one day try/attempt one or more of my "pinned" ideas.  I have tried a few recipes and I made this for my sister-in-law for her birthday (I'm like 90% sure she doesn't read this, if she does, well Happy Birthday Carmen!!) 

and I put together little Turkey Tom here for McKay's class "Friendship Feast".  He was definitely cuter on pinterest but still a hit with the 2nd graders.

4.  I have been battling whether or not to blog about "x" and for a while I thought I had jinxed "x" because I hadn't mentioned it yet but now "x" is doing a lot better and so now of course I'm worried that if I do blog about it then I will jinx it.  So I won't.  That's all I'll say about that.

5.  Now I feel guilty for saying how much I love Nash without saying anything about the other four.  I am such a woman/mom.  Well I love them all.  They are all adorable and sweet (most of the time.)  Any advice on a 7year old growing up too fast, a 6 year old who can go from happy to complete melt-down in 2.8 seconds anytime after 7 pm and a 3 year old who cries about everything, would be greatly appreciated.  Did I mention how much I love each one of them?  I do.  And I love being their mom.
