Wake Up

Is this a sign of what's to come? 

The other night I was awoken by my baby boys...that is to say my dogs, Lex and Louie. 
I'd like to put a little bit of emphasis on the "I" in that sentence as I was the only one that woke up. 

Lex comes up to my side of the bed and starts barking.  It's 3am.  Lex will also start licking you as well, to get you to wake up.  I get up at 4:45 Lex, just let me sleep.  Don't you think their bladders could wait an hour?!?  No...apparently they needed to go out RIGHT THEN.  Or, they'd been barking for a while and finally got me to wake up.   

Mike didn't even budge.  Or if he did, he plays a good sleeper. 

Does this mean that when we start a family that he won't budge for the babies?  Or is there something different about an annoying dog bark than a baby cry?  Any tips for how to get him to get up in the middle of the night instead of me?!?  I see this not going well...

New Month, New Job

Well, Mike started his new job on Monday.  I think he loves it.  He goes into work around 10.  That's the perfect job for him. 

I'm hoping he starts to go in earlier, but we will see.  Sleeping in is something he's good at.  ;) 

I wish I could sleep in.  I get up at the butt crack of dawn to go to work.  But I get Fridays off. 

I'm very proud of Mike though.  He was at his last job for almost 6 years.  He worked really hard for that company.  I know he'll work really hard at his new job too.  He's just a hard worker. 

Now, if we could both just work really hard at the gym, we'd be set!  ;)

Funnies From The Card Aisle

Mike and I were in the card aisle a little while ago and came across this card. Do you think it's awful that i think it's funny? Everything on it moves...
It's like GWB Dancing. LOVE IT!!!

Ol' Dubya's Here...
Priceless. 

Needless to say, we did not buy it as many people would not have found it as funny as we did. 

I do love the new animated cards though...

Spooky Decor

Here we are.  It's October and Halloween is just around the corner. 

I've already introduced you to Mike's Monster Box.  It doesn't go out until the last minute...incase of rain which I think would be its demise. 

But here is what our house looks like.  We are not quite finished decorating, but we beat out the rest of the neighbors by a long shot! 

The guy scares me everytime I look out the window or walk out the front door.

Donuts

I leave for work around 5:30am. 
Mike is always still sleeping when I go. 
I try to give him a kiss when I leave and tell him I love him.
Some days I forget.
However, yesterday when I remembered, Mike said to me:

I love you too.  And you can have the rest of the donuts.

I want to let you know, we had no donuts in the house...have not had donuts in FOREVER...were not talking about donuts the night before or anything!  Not sure where this came from.

He was completely asleep.

Then as I'm walking out the door, he says to me:
What did I just say?

I responded:
And I can have the rest of the donuts. 

Mike:
WHAT?!?  I must have been asleep.

It was random to say the least. 

Monster Box

So Halloween is kind of a big thing at our house. 

If Mike could make a haunted house, he totally would.  I think he's jealous of someone that I work with who does this very thing EVERY year in their garage... 

Anyways, here is one of the items that mike made.  Yes, that's right.  He made it. 


Please notice the Bandido's shirt!  Priceless!

It's called the Monster Box.  I can't believe he made it, but he did.  It is motion activated so when someone walks by it, music turns on, lights flash, and the lid moves up and down. 

He's very proud. 
I think it's fun too.
Visit tomorrow to see what we did with that head he is holding...
