We’ve been watching a lot of the Wiggles lately.  I guess he is gone now (we’re watching old videos), but Greg, the Yellow Wiggle, is a cutie.  I know they target these shows for kids, but I also know they know us moms are watching too. 

I uploaded a picture from a trip we took to Hawaii a few years back.  It’s a picture at sunset overlooking Pearl Harbor.  If you look closely, you can see the USS Arizona Memorial.  This was the view off my brother’s lanai.  Lucky guy!

My husband is taking a few days off of work, so we decided it was a good time to tile our master bath.  If you’ve ever done any remodeling, you know it pretty much sucks while it is happening.  You know it will be worth it in the end, but having the house out of sorts is rough.

There literally is a toilet in my bedroom.  We’re doing our best to keep the kids out of our room for the time being, but as a kid you have to really be thinking “wtf?”

Note: Because of the tiling, I’m also sharing a bathroom with my 2 kids.  So, tonight when I went to shower, I had to remove the 40 piece Sea Life set including the submarine and shark cage from the bath tub before I could use it.  Ahhh, good times. 

I’m using some of the most beautiful Christmas cards that I received last year as gift tags on this year’s presents!  I’m using some pretty scalloped scissors and a hole punch, a little ribbon and voila!

This is such a sweet commercial.  Sleeping babies are like heaven.  Enjoy.

I don’t think they should play music in the stores while we’re Christmas shopping!  Ok, maybe that’s extreme, but at least they should consider a nice “Away in a Manger” or a “Silent Night.”  Instead, they blast “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”  When I’m pushing a stroller with one hand and trying to carry my merchandise while holding hands with a 4 year old (all the while trying not to knock over the displays), I hear that song and I think they’re mocking me!

A few years back, there was a great show on TV called, “The Mole.”  One of my favorite episodes involved one of the players being “tortured” by having to listen to “Tiny Bubbles” over and over throughout the night (and he couldn’t fall asleep).  The other day I was listening to Christmas music and realized that any song by Gloria Estefan could be my torture song.  I think she’s a great lady, but I really can’t listen to her voice.

What’s your torture song?

(sorry for the Days background:)

I was shopping tonight and was close to buying one of those dough ornaments that you can personalize.  It was 4 snowmen (2 parents and 2 kids).  It was about to go into my cart so I could take it home and write our names on it and hang it on my tree when I suddenly noticed a tiny little snowperson peeking around the back of one of the bigger snowmen!  I thought “Oh no!”  I don’t want any surprise snowbabies in my life!” 

Can you name the movies that these images are from (some are tough!):
