Five on Friday: The Liam Edition

1. Liam is really becoming assertive in his old age. Last week he rubbed his belly and said, "I am pungry for pizza." He demanded pizza for almost an hour, until he finally gave up and ate his chicken and broccoli. When it was finally time for our "cheat day," he was "pungry for cheeseburgers." Hello, Shake Shack!

2. When I ask Liam what he wants to do every day, he responds in one of three ways: 
     
      1) Go to beach.
      2) Go to hotel.
      3) Fly on the airplane.

I suppose we're to blame for these high standards of his. Ummm, buddy, I meant like color, build towers, make something with play-doh. Speaking of play-doh... 

3. Turns out my husband has some mad play-doh skills. The carrot cake and very detailed pumpkin on the left? Those are his. And that sad looking "pizza" on the right? That's mine. Meh. 

4. Liam finally found a spot for his juice, so now he rides around all day, trying not to let his cup fall over. I swear...just when I think this child can't get any cuter!

5. Me: Honey, what do you want to do for our anniversary?
    
    Husband (looking at Liam): I don't know. Liam, what do you want to do?
    
    We really need a babysitter. 


Happy Friday, friends!

Five on Friday: Vitamins, Facebook, and Other Random Musings

I've been workin' on something about Liam for the Spina Bifida Association website, so I haven't had time to get a regular post done. But I happened to come across this cool blog hop -- Five on Friday -- recently, and since I can't resist a good list, I figured I'd join in on the fun. So without further ado, here are my five musings of the week:

1. I'm still trying to figure out if these words, uttered by my husband in regards to my recent weight loss, qualify as a compliment: "I felt like I was cheating on my wife for a minute." Ummm... thank you???

2. Does anyone else ever worry that they'll overdose on their (very delicious) gummy vitamins? No? Okay, me neither.

3. The other day I was really irritable. Like, really irritable. Instead of losing my cool (which isn't really my style, but I felt like, at any moment, I could start screaming or crying and never, ever stop), I simply told my husband how I was feeling. His response: "Do you need anything? Want me to go to the store and get you something?" Hmmm. Actually, some chocolate would be great. Chocolate makes everything better. Sometimes you just have to ask for what you need.

4. You might have a problem with a certain social networking site if... Your husband happens to walk behind you (and your laptop) and says: "Of course you're on Facebook. And of course you're on Facebook looking at cats." You might really, really have a problem if your three year old son's new line of questioning includes: "On Skype all day long, Mommy?" And by Skype he means computer. And by computer, I mean Facebook. I might need a 12 step program.

5. Less than two months 'til we head back to the States for a month-long visit, and I can't wait! I spent part of yesterday getting all of our hotels booked. Needless to say, it was a rather expensive day, especially given the fact that my dear husband is a hotel whore. I mean that in the nicest possible way. Don't get me wrong -- I like a nice hotel room, but I have no problem staying at a Hampton Inn, if it's clean, with relatively new bedding, especially if it saves me some cash. My husband will not.

Well, that was fun. And easy. Happy Friday, friends!
