Fuller and I have been out and about recently, mainly looking for that specific sofa that will add to our living room experience. I am exhausted and looking forward to staying in tomorrow since we are expecting some sort of “in like a lion” storm.

Can I just tell you how awesome the weather has been recently? I actually dressed Fuller in shorts yesterday and today. I wanted to wear my Chacos this morning but I am missing one of them, which means I really need to clean my bedroom.

If today hadn’t been a junk swap at Mom’s Group, Fuller and I would have walked there and back, soaking in as much sun and fresh air as possible.

Being outside has perked up all our attitudes and Fuller’s disposition lately has been kind, courteous and fun. I just hope the bad weather doesn’t affect his mood like it might mine. I plan on keeping him occupied with finger painting (he loves that) and cooking waffles. And I can’t wait for the sun to come back out. By then, I better have found my other Chaco.

Last week, I submitted a photo of myself as Auburn Elvis to Coke’s (and Qdoba’s) March Madness Ultimate Sport Fanatic Contest.

Well, This weekend, I also submitted a photo of Fuller. Well, today (and today only), Fuller was choosen as their photo of the day. I think that means he just won a $25 gift certificate to Qdoba.

War Eagle!

Oh, yeah, if you wanted, you could go into the “Go Head 2 Head” section and vote for our photos. It’s semi-random which ones show up, so you might have to click a bunch to get to either of our photos.

Has anyone ever used chalkboard paint? I am wondering if it would still work if you painted over an existing chalkboard. We have a green chalkboard that Fuller is currently using. However it doesn’t take the chalk very well and there are some stains on it (we got it at a thrift store). I was thinking about painting over it in chalkboard paint but wonder if that would help or hurt.

Thoughts? Stories?

Today is another round of Postie Carnival and the theme is Animals, hosted by Marisa of Marisa’s Dandelion Patch.

My submission is from last month, and I still wonder when Maple and Lively are going to get with the program and enjoy Fuller’s existence. Today Damon, Fuller, and Maple tried to play ball, but Maple would only play with Damon. If Damon left, Maple would follow him, and Fuller would follow begging Maple to come back.

If you head over to the Carnival you can meet lots of other bloggers who had something to say on the topic of animals. Have fun!

In case you haven’t noticed, recently we have had several pictures of Fuller doing something with his fingers. I’m not exactly sure what this is all about, but he is a tad obsessed with looking at his fingers, pointing, bending, and whatever else there is to do with them.

We have made progress on learning numbers. He can count to 10 (in a round about way), and he has started to use his fingers a little bit for that purpose, triumphantly showing me all ten of his fingers when he gets to ten.

I keep trying to show him the ASL alphabet, since he is doing really well with his letters, but he just keeps showing me his baby gang sign. It’s not like I am trying to get him to spell Phentermine or something, I just want him to know that manipulating his fingers has the ability to be more.

I was so excited to wake up this morning with the expectation that Fuller and I will head out to some furniture stores to check out their couch offerings. I thought we could go to Ashley Furniture and then the mall to let him play in the play area for a bit.

And soon after Fuller was settled with his breakfast, I remembered that Monday is Kindermusik day! Man, I am so out of it. We didn’t have it last week due to their winter break. One week off and I forget about it!

I need some budgeting software for my time management. Or at least I should remember to check my calendar on Sundays.
