Presidents Day

I have to share my experience from class today:

I read a book about going to visit the president. I showed and discussed a poster about the White House. We then discussed what the President does and what the children would do if they were President. I explained that we would be writing to the prompt: If I were President I would.... As I was dismissing them to go to their chairs and begin writing a boy raised his hand and said, "Mrs. Rader, what are the girls going to write about?"

Happy Love Day

So I am stealing from the cartoon Love Is. Here we go...

Love is:
- sugars from a 21 month old
- my husband listening with interest as I talk about 5 year olds
- falling asleep at 8:00 on the couch and being okay with it
- feeling little kicks and jabs in my ribs throughout the day
- giving Valentine's gifts early because we just can't wait to share what we got eachother (I got jammies for the hospital and a bluetooth ear thingy and Tony got a police scanner b/c we live near the station and he's always dying to know what's going on)

New Job, New Couch....

So quit a few interesting things have happened at the Rader household in the past few weeks. Tony got a new job!!!! Goodbye Vistawall, hello City of Dallas. We are very excited that he will be able to scale back from 60 hour work weeks to 40 hours. He'll actually get to wear nice clothes and not mess them up, and best of all there are endless job opportunities within the city.

In celebration we went out and picked out a new love seat and couch for our living room. It's only been 3 years since Hailey chewed holes into the top of our sofa so I guess you could say it was time. They will be here in 2 weeks. We can finally have more than 2 people over comfortably, yea!!!

Next on the list: a few cows (as investment/hobbie for my Hubbie)

I promise some pictures soon.
