Polly's ramblings

I am feeling the need to ramble. Just lots of thoughts running around in my head.

1. I love girl scout cookies. But, why? Are they really that much better than other cookies or is it just because you have to order them and wait in anticipation for their arrival?

2. Why is long hair on guys in style? When will the short haircuts come back? I hate Jake's hair.

3. I wish I could be one of those women that like to dress up and look nice every day. Why is it that all I ever want to wear is hoodies and jeans?

4. Why do I hate to exercise? Why do I have to be lazy all the time? I want to be a runner.

5. Why can't I be one of those people that can accomplish a lot in one day?

6. What is up with everyone fighting over school districts? I think that it is crazy. All of the schools in Jonesboro are great compared to the rest of the state. Am I really a bad parent because I did not choose Valley View? Are the schools raising our children or are we? I hate that we as parents start to judge more as are children get older. Deep thoughts...

7. I need more self discipline. BAD! I want to be an over achiever, why is it so hard?

8. Do I have to put something on my fireplace mantel? Can I just have a picture or a mirror?

9. How do I want to landscape the front of my house this year? Just mulch? Plant flowers or just a few hanging baskets? Probably nothing, because I am too lazy. I need to be better about that. Really.

10. Is anyone else out there completely obsessed with The Pioneer Woman? I got her cookbook for Christmas and love it. Then I found out she has a website. I have spent most of the morning reading it. That goes back to why I can't accomplish anything....

Award's Assembly. All "A's"!! Go Jake!

After months of doggie research (and I mean months!) we finally bought a puppy! Chief is a Goldendoodle and we got him in Kansas 2 days after Christmas.

He is much bigger now! He should end up being around 70 pounds. He is great and loves to chew up all of Chris' things. Chris is not a big fan of the puppy so far, but Chief is growing on him!

Giant picture update!

Here are a ton of pictures over the last few months. Hope that you enjoy them!

Chris' parents came to our house a few weeks before Christmas so we could celebrate with them. Chris decided that he wanted to try to fry his first turkey. It was really good and really funny to watch him do it!

Opening presents with Granma and Granddaddy!

Granma and Granddaddy were able to go to both of the boys Christmas parties! Jake had pj day, Christmas party and grandparents! What a fun day!

Isaac had his Christmas party and Christmas program the same day, so it was really special for Granma and Granddaddy to be at both!

Breakfast with Santa at Southwest.

Cute brothers sleeping!
