Good Wife Tip #8

With Thanksgiving coming up this next good wife tip is a very good one, for all of us to remember. Let's see how many of us can be "Good Wives" this Thanksgiving and anticipate our spouses needs...LOL Ya right read on...HA HA!!!!



Good Wife Tip #8 - "At The Dinner Table" Anticipate your spouse's needs by refilling his plate before he asks. When it comes to your own plate, remember that less is more. Certainly, the moist layer cake with butter cream frosting you baked this morning looks appetizing, but it won't do your waistline any favors!


I know that if I slave in the kitchen baking all day, you better believe I'm going to make sure I have sliver of the things I baked! Guess it shows with my waistline...HA HA!!!

Clayton's ITAC Pancake Breakfast

So on Thursday morning Clayton's work had there annual ITAC (Information Assurance Technical Assistance Center - That is where Clayton works at by the way) pancake breakfast. Which let me tell ya Clayton was highly looking forward to! It's all he talked about for a whole day. Pancakes are his favorite breakfast food, and getting it at work was the cherry on top for him. So his co-workers took pictures of the breakfast, and of course Clayton is one of the cooks, some things just don't ever change...LOL

Good Wife Tip # 7

Good Wife Tip # 7 "Prepare For Contingencies" It's normal for nine holes of golf to turn into eighteen or for a meeting at work to run long. If you husband forgets to call and tell you when he's going to be late, don't make him feel even worse by giving him a hard time about it. After all, only an elephant never forgets!



OK, so I don't know about anyone else, but if Clayton did that he knows he WOULD be in hot water!

Good Wife Tip #6

OK, here is the next tip Good Wife Tip#6 "Greet Him With A Smile" Nothing says "Welcome Home, dear," better that an ear-to-ear expression of your love-that's right, a smile! With just one glance at your face, your husband should know that his very presence marks the pinnacle of your day. I don't know about you guys, I greet Clayton with a smile and a kiss when he comes home, but I wouldn't say it's the "very pinnacle of my day" Enjoy!!!

Trick or Treat...Halloween 2008

So we went to my parent's house for trick or treating, and we had a blast. The kids got a bag full of goodies, that they won't get to eat most of, since there not allowed to have much candy. Grandon went as a Train Conductor and Madison went as a pretty witch. Clayton went as himself, and I went as his wife...LOL Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!!

Does the sillyness ever stop???

After we did our family home evening this evening we played a game of follow the leader and then we did some toe touches, dancing, and jumping up and down. It was so much fun! Our child have this thing that they love to do, and what it is that they do is, they lay on the ground in front of us, and love it when we pretend to step on them, that gets them going, and laughing so hard it's totally cute, so we put it on video for everyone to enjoy. Clayton video taped this, so you must excuse his VERY rude behavior when the video first comes on, and you hear a very loud burp, but hey that's Clayton for ya what can I say???

Scattered Brain...

So I had a few random thoughts going through my head all at once, and I really didn't want to post three different blogs, so I combined all of my scattered brain-ness (is that even a word?) in one blog so here it goes. The first picture was taken roughly two weeks ago, when I decided to dye my hair and cut it, I dyed one shade darker then my natural hair color, and cut off 4 inches, Clayton hated it at first, but it's starting to grow on him. It's a change something different!

The next two pictures are of Madison when she woke up the other morning, her hair was so crazy we laughed really hard, and thought it to be picture worthy. As crazy as it looks, she is still "Super Cute" When I was her age my hair did the same thing, heck even now on some days when I wake up my hair looks like that!!!

And the last two pictures, Clayton took, at bath time, the kids were so excited and happy that they had bubbles in there bath tub! Bath pictures are always cute pictures, and worth sharing!!!

Good Wife Tip #5

Good Wife Tip #5 "Happy Homecoming" - When your husband walks through the front door, take his coat and guide home to his favorite easy chair. Offer him the evening newspaper, his slippers and a dry martini to take the edge off. If he appears fatigued or cranky from his traffic-laden commute, a relaxing foot rub or shoulder massage may be in order.

OK, so I don't know about anyone else, but I have hard days quite often, staying home with two little munchkins, and I don't see anyone doing any of that for me. I'll make a deal with Clayton if he does that for me 3 days out of the week then I'll do that for him 3 days out of the week...LOL

Pumpkin Craving!!!

Since Halloween is right around the corner, we had a family fun filled night, and craved our pumpkin! Grandon loved it, he had so much fun! Look how good of a job he is doing here!!!

He's working really hard on getting all the pumpkin seeds out!!!

Madison on the other hand, pretty much screamed her head off, and got really mad at me for trying to get her to stick her hand in the pumpkin. If you look real close you can see one of her many diva faces! She's like "Mom, I don't think so"

After working very hard we finished our silly pumpkin face, and this is what it looked like, we thought it turned out pretty darn cute!!!

Here is a video of Grandon gutting the pumpkin, he was such a good sport! Happy Halloween everyone stay safe and have fun trick or treating!!!
