Randomness...

First things first!
HAPPY MARCH!
As I have mentioned earlier, I am so happy March has finally arrived. Goodbye January AND February, see you next year~! I officially have spring fever and I LOVE IT! March is always a fun and busy month for us with lots of celebrating involved! Even though it's cold outside I can still tell Spring is right around the corner when I walk outside. Can't wait to dig my flippies out! It makes me happy!

In other news, I have been without a computer for a week. Our computer got a bad virus and we took it in and ended up just buying a brand spankin' new one! It rocks! Once I figure out all the bells and whistles it will rock even more! :) Love new computers!

Two weeks ago we ended up needing to buy a new freezer for the garage. We took everything out of the old one and moved it all to the inside freezer. After we bought the new one I hadn't gotten around to moving everything back out. Well, Sunday night our fridge/freezer decided to stop working. Long story short, it wasn't until Monday night that I discovered it. We ended up throwing away a few hundred dollars worth of food and paying another $270.00 to fix it. The joys of everyday life. The service guy lectured me and told me this would have been prevented had I been more responsible in my cleaning the under carriage part where the air circulates in and out. Or something like that. It needs to be done every 3 months minimum, what? Well, ok! So, from one irresponsible homeowner to another **PLEASE clean the vent thing out from under your refrigerator at least every three months, got it?** GOOD!

Carrying on! Did I mention that my baby started walking at about 10.5 months? Yup! He's into everything and I can barely.keep.up! He's a quiet tornado! But it is oh so fun and so very adorable. He even says momma! He's a huge part of our entertainment around this place. And in a few short weeks, he'll be ONE!

We've had some beautiful days lately which lands me a house/yard full of boys. We poured a full size basketball court a few years ago and it has been one of the best investments ever. I honestly love having a bunch of boys over hanging out and playing some ball. I just need some ideas on how to keep the food/snacks/drinks stocked inexpensively for their hearty appetites. I'm thinking summer might get a bit pricey. Any ideas? I do want to look into a drinking fountain for sure.

Last but not least! Bird hunting season is officially over which means I have a husband again. Which also means projects get done. I have a very long honey-to-do list. Oh boy do I! It's going to be great!~

p.s. does blogger not have spellcheck anymore?

Life is great!

Happy March! hmmmm, I honestly don't think I ever clean out the fridge vent thingy. I hate it when the neighbor kids raid the food at my house. It's really annoying to me. When they tell me they're hungry I tell them to go home and ask their parents for food! The only thing I don't mind passing out are otter pops. Oh and I think there is a spell check button by the other formatting buttons.
