LindSeY TaggED Me foR 6 Un-SpecTaCulaR QuiRKs!

1. I absolutely have to clean up a meal as soon as we are done eating. I hate having food/dishes sitting on the table after the fact. Mckay would prefer to sit down and relax and come back to it later. If I were to try that, I am pretty sure that I would just sit there and think about all of the things that I should be putting away (not much relaxing would be going on)! It is just no fun not having a dish washer… I think the process would go much faster and all of the dishes would always be done!!

2. I have been receiving e-mails about homes for sale in the Boise area for months now. Now that our rent is going way up, I think we are getting close to taking the plunge! I could spend hours looking at homes and dreaming about what mine will look like someday. We are thinking about building a home and it could possible be done by Thanksgiving or the beginning of December…time will tell!

3. I really don’t like being alone. This last week Mckay spent 3 days and 2 nights away from us while he was on a business trip… I will confess that I missed him soooooo much. I think in our 4+ years of marriage we had only spent one night apart and that trip put us up to a total of 3 nights apart. I am such a wimp and was so glad to have him back home.

4. I dislike it when the toilet seat is left up and the shower curtain is left open. Not to point the finger at anyone :) (Hun). I follow behind and close them all…I think it makes the bathroom look a little cleaner!

5. I can tie a knot in a cherry stem inside my mouth, using my tongue. Same as unwrapping a Starburst! Maybe this is not that neat and I am sure that plenty of other people can do the same!

6. I really enjoy doing crafts to decorate my home. When I know that a craft group is coming up, or I think of a new fun project that I can do…I get really excited. I will admit that there are times that I don’t always finish all of my “projects” but it is nice to have something to do on a rainy day. I enjoy having new decorations in my house to spice things up! (Wish I would have gone into interior decorating…I might be better at home decorating!) I often see other’s ideas and want to copy!!

I did not tag anyone this time because I am pretty sure that this one has made its way around! :)

Payton's LittLE SecReT!!

A little over a week ago Mckay and I shared a special secret with Payton!! This past weekend Mckay's family was visiting and we told Payton that he could share this secret with them when they arrived. Shortly after their arrival Payton was distracted and went upstairs to show the boys (his uncles Levi and Oliver) all of his toys. When it was time for Payton to go to bed Mckay reminded him to tell everyone the "Secret", Payton was reluctant so Mckay had to spill the beans. For those of you who don't already know, or who haven't figured it out yet... the so called secret is that "There is a baby in Mommy's tummy". Yep, we a having BaBY #3 sometime around February 18th, so that makes me about 13 weeks along! Payton is really excited and loves to look at the ultrasound pictures. I think he understands more this time around...he even rubs my tummy and tells me to be careful with my baby when I am working around the house. After telling the rest of Mckay's family we found out that Payton had already shared this news with the boys when they were playing with toys upstairs. Levi and Oli told us that Payton told them earlier that "My Mommy has a baby in her tummy". Good thing we were ready for this secret to come out (note to self: don't tell your children you're expecting until you want others to know as well)! It was kind of funny that he confided in the boys when they were alone and out of sight!
