Mommy's Night Out....
Last night was the first time that I was away from the Monkey all day and by the time I got home he was in bed.
I wasn't a overly huge fan.
Now don't get me wrong, I had a blast. But once I was on my way home... I just wanted to see, hug and kiss my little guy. And he was asleep, so I didn't want to shake the apple cart. So I just watched him sleep.
That being said, I returned home from game night rejuvinated and I know that is something that I sorely needed. A break (somewhat) from being Mommy and a chance to be a geek.

Just because....
Just because I love it so much... A picture a co-worker grabbed at the Employee BBQ in September!
Merry Grinchmas!
See... I love this time of year. The family holidays are coming fast, and I barely have time to breathe before another one is upon us. Christmas season is always super hectic for us (although I am taking steps to change that) so I demand to start the celebrating early as far as one thing is concerned...
The Grinch.
You see I am a huge fan of the cartoon about the big green menace that steals the Who's pudding and steals the roast beast. And it always saddened me that I only had 30 days to watch the hell out of it. Then I realized if I was planning for a holiday, holiday themed entertainment is appropriate.
So I created Grinchmas. Grinchmas is the first somewhat acceptable day that I can watch the Grinch. I placed it on November 1st, and Mr. was not allowed to overly complain.
So last night with childlike glee, I removed the Blu Ray from the shelf and turned to my 5 month old. "Wanna watch the Grinch?" I said excitedly.
As if he understood he started talking his baby speak. I took this as a yes. A diaper/pj change later and we were cuddled together in our rocker, and listening to the familiar chimes of the opening Welcome. From the moment the snow appeared on the screen, my Monkey was entranced. The Grinch came on and he smiled at him and then Max appeared and he was pointing at the screen and getting exited about the doggie. It was too adorable for words.
He loved it. I chalk it up to the general awesomeness, but really, it is probably the music.
My husband, who is a staunch "no Christmas until after Thanksgiving" guy, felt the same glow of happiness that I did. As we were going to bed he said, "Christmas is going to be so much more awesome now that we have the boy!" His enthusiasm made me smile.
That moment.... Me and my son in the rocker, my husband on the couch and the Grinch on tv will live in my memory as long as I live.
