John’s McDonald’s birthday

For John’s third birthday we decided to do a McDonald’s party. It was so nice and easy. I’m glad I didn’t have to choose between PJMasks and Paw Patrol. We just let them do everything. The goodie bags had some fun stuff in them and the playland was a hit. Who doesn’t want a happy meal when they’re young?  Only two friends RSVPed so it wasn’t too many people. But the addition of the family helped. 

Bullet Journaling: the Beginning

So I’ve been pinteresting for a while and one of the boards I have is journaling. I’ve been facinated eith journal pages for a while and come to find out they’re almost all a part of a bullet journal. So I’ve been doing some research, like I do, and have decided that for the new year this is something I want to do. 

So, while I wait for my journal to arrive,  I’ve narrowed down my focus and have been trying to figure out which layouts I want to try out. I know I change change my weekly and monthly as I go, but yearly is another thing. So what yearly layout do you like best and why?  

Also what are the extras you like up front?  I’m going to do a page to track my MS symptoms, Lady time tracker, and a bill tracker. Ither than that I’m just not sure what I need or want. Suggestions?

John gets a haircut

So John hates haircuts. I mean hates them.  Whenever we’ve taken him in he cries and screams like were hurting him. And he gnashes about scaring the girls with the clippers. I’ve only witnessed it once, the other times Popi and Chris take him. Well it was no different today. But he was in desperate need of it. His hair was in his eyes and bothering them and starting to gather the waxy discharge from his ears too (yuck!).  
He needed it. So they took him. I’m so greatful to them for it because he did the same thing this time that he always does. But at least it got done. 
The picture does not show the tears but after being home long enough to get a bath and calm down.  Hopefully it won’t be as bad next time. The only time he hasn’t done that was when he got his first haircut. The only tears then were mine. She did it all scissor cut which I think helps but the did that this time too. So I don’t know. Maybe because it was in somebody’s kitchen with a little toddler friend around that he didn’t act up. Whatever it was it was the best experience so far. Hopefully one day he will get like that again. 

New year new blog posts

It’s a new year and I’m gonna try to post on here more often. We’ve had an interesting year last year with a new house and everything that comes with that!  

Well it looks like it’s been a few years since I last posted and a lot of little things have happened in our lives. I’ll try to post date some posts so that y’all can catch up. But until then I am moving forward!
