A little bit of bliss

Oh well hello there. I hope I find you in good measure. I am in fact in a mighty good mood. Might be because yesterday my sick hubby (he's got a cold) took on the lil' kiwi and allowed me to sleep in for the first time since...well I don't know when, well before Christmas that's for sure. Anyways, it was blissful. Then to top it off he took him out with him to do errands while leaving me at home so I could clean up. I was able to do my entire to do list in one full sweep (pardon the pun). I didn't have to take multiple breaks as you do when you have a wee one after your attention or feverishly destroying everything you've just cleaned. It was amazing. However, after about 2 hours of them being gone I started to really miss them! I called to catch up and see where they were at. I couldn't help it! When they got home I quickly changed Kiwi and fed him and then we were off, out for dinner at Swiss Chalet we went! (We had a coupon). It was a lovely evening out and B's mom joined us. We showed off Kiwi's first tooth that just started to sprout that morning. 

Today we have had a very lazy day. I woke up with kiwi at 6:50am. This kid is cute but I'm still not a morning person. I allowed him to play around me while I lied down on the floor. He's so funny. His favourite game right now is peekaboo with everything. He took a wicker basket and put it on his head and then peaked at me from underneath. He's got such a personality and loves people. He loves to make people smile and doesn't play strange with anyone (so far). He's walking along everything and has gotten really fast at pulling himself up. I love how he uses the handles on the drawers in the kitchen as a ladder. He's just started climbing onto things (which makes my heart skip a beat - ok that's my heart murmur but it does make me hold my breath!) He is sporting his first noticeable bruise on his forehead from a small fall :( Makes me sad but I know it's going to be the first of many. He has no fear. He is also starting to stand without holding on to anything. It's just a matter of time before this little guy starts walking.

He likes to cuddle with everything, including the hardwood floor

Did you have a great Valentine's day?  Unfortunately B was sick with a mighty cold on the actual day but that didn't get us down.  We celebrated with a romantic burger and blizzards from DQ. They were super yummy and I had made B a candy bouquet that I had seen on Pinterest. It was a quiet day overall but it was nice.

 I'm excited about a piece of furniture we're going to invest in. A china cabinet. I need something to put my fancier dishes in to make some room in the cupboards for the more practical every day stuff, especially since lil kiwi's dishes will be moving in. I am not sure how to fix it up or if I will. I kind of want to try something as a project and I guess if I really screw it up I could always call my amazingly talented sister-in-law. She's got some mad skills! But before I go that route I think I want to try it. I am hoping that it will jump start me into doing some house decorating. I have yet to do any window treatments and get a game plan on how to organize the playroom. I need some inspiration and I have to be honest, I'm a little overwhelmed as it's not really my thing. Decorate a cupcake, sure no problem. Decorate a room?! Yikes! I guess cause a cupcake/cake is such a small surface and if you don't like it you just eat it scrape off the icing and start again. Where as a room just seems more permanent and a financial investment. Curtains aren't cheap, and what if you don't like the way your vision comes together? Oh my, can you feel my anxiety building? I think I need a cupcake!
