Five Question Friday! 4/12/13

You'll hafta forgive me for not getting the sneak peek up in time...I've been working my fool head off with our friends to get ready for our wood floor installation today!! My back hurts, my arms hurt, my knuckles are all skinned up...I don't think I've worked this hard in a LONG time!



So, so, SO grateful for the amazing amounts of help we're getting from our friends, thanks L and D!!!

Anyway, I actually remembered to take before photos of this room redo...so stay tuned for the big reveal!

I'm going to go ahead and post this as soon as I'm done with it, since I didn't get the sneak peek up. Fer dumb.

5. Does your significant other snore? Do YOU snore?

1. Where do you hide things from your kids at?

Typically somewhere in a closet. Christmas presents get hidden all over the place, wherever we can find extra room!

I think I need to find a special place for a stash of chocolate for myself...that sounds like a fabulous idea to me.

Suggestions for hiding places?

2. What is your favorite rainy day activity for bored toddlers?

Oh boy. Let's see...a game of memory? Or, WAIT...reading books. Love snuggling up with a pile of good books, but that doesn't always last as long as I'd like...

Hmmm...one recent "discovery" of mine is watercolors...the kiddos love them, they aren't horribly messy (I'm looking at YOU PlayDoh) and the kids get to exercise their inner artiste!

But then I never know what to DO with all of their masterpieces...

3. Are you a punctual person or are you always running a few minutes (or more!) late??

Unfortunately, the latter. Many minutes late and YES I hate it, but we just can never seem to get our act together and get somewhere on time.

We've been trying to get better at it...and, on the flip side, it's turned our teenager into an anal retentive "on time" person.

See? We did something right in our parenting! ;)

4. When eating out, do you prefer off the beaten path "Mom and Pop" cafes or tried and true national food chains?

We are totally a divided house on this one...hubs prefers the mom and pop's...they kind skeeve me out a bit, you know? Like, I dunno if Cousin Jimmy, who suffers from a terrible habit of not washing his hands after he goes to the bathroom, is the cook.

And that's hard for me to swallow.

Literally.

Plus, I just like the comfort of knowing a restaurant has been deemed good enough that it's seen success across the nation. There's comfort in that, you know? 

5. Does your significant other snore? Do YOU snore?

Oh, gracious. Does. He. Ever.

I should enter him in a snoring contest.

No, scratch that, I should totally enter him a sleep study and find out how many times he quits breathing every night. I listen, and it doesn't sound like he quits breathing, but WOW IS HIS SNORING LOUD!!!

Funny story, with my last pregnancy, I had a horrible cold, as I was dozing off, my hubby awoke me with his snoring, so I put my frozen feet on him (like usual) to get him to roll over. He rolls over, grumbles a bit, then I start to doze off again and am, once again, awoken by his snoring.

But something is different and I realize OH MAH GAW, that hideous noise was coming from ME! From me?! UGH, yes, from me.

It was awful. I kept that discovery to myself for awhile before I shared it.

Thank goodness that was the one and only time I have ever snored thankyouverymuch. Ahem.

Off to bed I go (I'm typing this at 12:30 AM!!)...big day tomorrow!
