Hey it is Friday, so here is the five spot!
1. I so want these right now for my trip to Florida in a few weeks! So stinkin’ cute!
2. I get to go here on Sunday with my husband and daughter for her birthday dinner! Isabela has been dreaming of going here for years- so it is gonna be great!
3. BRAG alert: Moses is the Star Student of the Month in his classroom. This was the first month this program started in his school so I am so proud he was chosen! His teacher said this about him: “Moses has an excellent attitude and is a model student for his classmates!” Um, could I be more proud? Be still my heart.
4. I started painting my stairs a few days ago.
Since pinterest and I are now BFF’s again I am loving the inspiration I am finding! I am hoping they end up something like this:Â 
But I will do it free hand. You know, so it looks ‘rustic’ …Suggestions on words/quote I should use?
5. My darling husband came home on the evening of Valentine’s day at about 7 o’clock, a yummy bag of Chinese in hand. I had skillfully bribed the children to go to bed extra early, so they were in bed with a Nintendo DS (2), an iPod touch and an iPad. Yes. Don’t judge. I had the living room clean, Pandora on {Station: Love Songs, basically Seal and Bryon Adams}. Once settled in with plates of goodness, he asked where the flowers were. I hadn’t received any so I was like, um, what flowers? He had ordered some to be delivered during the day and was surprised that they weren’t here. It was after 7pm. So he called the florist, closed at 6. He re-checked the email, guaranteed delivery. We looked on the porch again, nothing. He decided he would call the next day and request a refund. After all, he paid extra for the V-Day delivery. We went to bed around 9:30 and still nothing.
Well the next morning as he left for work at 5:55 he walked into our room with a bouquet that was sitting on out porch. Um, the did a midnight delivery I guess? They were gorgeous, but still, that is super lame. He called them and they said they delivered them at 6pm and that they rang the door bell and then they left them at the front of the door.
Um that is a straight up lie folks! 1) They weren’t on the porch at 9:30 pm and 2) We don’t have a doorbell! Jer told him, Hey we don’t have a doorbell. The guy said, well I rang it. Jer said, We don’t even have a dummy one to press! {I cut them off and unscrewed the front and back door bells, remember when Phoenix would spend hours ringing them when he was mad?! No bell to press, I guarantee it!}. Anyways, they did not apologize, ask how to fix their error, give a refund. Nothing. So, I don’t typically tell people to never use a certain business, but anyone local DO NOT USE PAULS FLOWERS!! Like, EVER!
So there it is, my dears. What have you been up to? What is your 5-spot? Tell me in the comments!
omg liars! you deserve a refund or a bogo or something!!!
WOW! Those flower people totally suck. I wonder if they left them on a swing shifter’s door step who read the card and moved them to your step. What rude turds. I will boycott them for sure.
Way to go Moses!
I personally would call my credit card company and tell them that you did not get what you paid for, you never know, sometimes they have a buyer’s guarantee!
1. I really want an isi cream whipper now, especially since I am making desserts for Thursday.
2. Now that we know the new baby is a girl, the current debate is to have her name start with an “h”. Or not. Harper, Hope, or my mil’s fav, Harley? Or Rose (Heide’s pick), Joy (Hannah’s pick) or Grace (Ethan’s)? The list
goes on and on.
3. I gave Titus his first haircut tonight. I cut off the long curls but the back still looks curly! Each child continues to surprise us with how different they are from each other.
4. We have been trying to cut back our food budget to $100 a week. So far (three weeks) things seem to be going great. For me, it is all about planning meals out, making a list and STICKING TO THE LIST! I am a horrible impulse food buyer. It also helps to bring a calculator to the store. Yes, I have turned into that lady that adds up everything going into her cart.
5. Titus finally started walking. He’s 17.5 months. I could have added that with number 3 but my silly itouch won’t let me go back up so I can’t see anything I’ve already written, plus I can’t think of a fifth thing and this comment is way long. I guess I need more practice
Xoxo
This made my morning! Looking forward to tomorrow, friend:)
