In case you didn’t know, February is one of my favorite months.  It’s my birthday month and Valentine’s all rolled into one fun month.  Poor Andrew…

It’s been such a great month so far, praise the Lord!!, that I wanted to share some fun things, Blogtember Challenge-style:

Reading:  A few things!  SRT has just started their Lent study {if you’re not doing one, please jump in!!}.  I’m also still reading  For the Love {taking my sweet time on this one – really soaking it in!} and I just recently picked up A Window Opens.

Playing: I feel like this answer is always “with my kids!”, but it’s so true.  The sun is out a little longer in the evenings which has been such a huge blessing.  I feel like I’m racing to get out the office door, then out the daycare door and across town by 5:40 so we can have some really great play-time outside!

Watching:  the hallway…at night.  Reynolds has been doing this thing of sneaking out of his bed and down the hallway at night.  Y’all. I almost screamed one night when I woke up to him standing at the foot of the bed with his hand on my foot.  !!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!  Then I remembered why my mom told me that if I came into their room at night when I was little that I had to talk loudly.  I think, so she wouldn’t punch me in the face!  NOW I understand!!!

Showing: Y’all!  I have a new logo!!!! Did you see it?! :)  It was option #3 in the vote from a couple of weeks ago, and I just think it’s perfect for Camellias & Copper! {I hope you love it!} If you don’t see it, maybe refresh your browser…but please let me know if it looks wonky!!

Cooking:  I have been super slack in the cooking department recently.  It’s the easiest ball for me to drop in all the ones I’m juggling.  And I just don’t have time or energy for it.  By the time we get home, have some play time outside, I just don’t want to stand over a stove.  I’ve been making a lot of simple things, including, but not limited to, sandwiches.

Eating:  A lot of chocolate.  Thanks Valentine’s Day :)

Drinking:  More water!!!  And I introduced my friend Ann to the Starbucks Vanilla Latte in a jug, over the weekend.  My apologies to her husband, because she will now be hooked and this stuff will take over his beer fridge {not even sure he has one…but if he does…}

Calling:  The hubs.  He’s in Charleston for a conference.  I wish I could have recorded the conversation R had with him tonight.  It consisted of R telling him he ate all his supper then ate Andrew’s chocolate chip cookie…and where it went from there was hilarious.

Texting:  Hubs, brother and mom and dad.

Tweeting:  The Grammys last night.  John Legend was amazing opening for the Lionel Richie tribute and I let him know. ;)

Pinning:  I haven’t pinned much since the Valentine’s surge last month…

Going:  Past tense would be went…  We just went to Rome, GA for the weekend to see my college roommate and another sweet friend from Berry College.  Reliving a similar photo taken like this from ~17 years ago….

Loving:  Having Gigi here tonight so I’m not alone with these crazy kids!!!!!  So true.  She laughs as I type this! :)  We love you, Gigi!  {Gigi is a co-worker that lives in Charlotte and likes to stay with us when she’s in town overnight.  She must be crazy, I know!!!!! ;)}  I’m also loving my hubs and kids.  I had this fun card made for Andrew for Valentine’s Day.

Hating:  The bickering of this political season.  I  mean, just give it to me straight and stop with the bickering.  Act like adults and be REAL with us, because that’s what WE care about.

Thinking:  So much!!!  Work is a fruit-basket turnover right now.  We are promoting and moving people around and there is a LOT of thinking that goes into that.  I’m also thinking about vacation season…where to go, etc.  {Are you going anywhere fun?  If yes, please share!!}

Feeling: Exhausted!!!!  After a whirlwind trip to Rome over the weekend {5 hrs one way!} and then Charleston on Monday for the day {congrats again to my amazing hubby!!}, I am SO tired!!  But thankful to have seen great friends and to have celebrated Andrew’s accomplishment!

Hoping:  For a good night’s rest. :)

Listening:  To Gigi.  :)  She’s talking about work while I write this post {she’s getting all the behind-the-scenes fun!}.

Smelling:  Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Pinot Gris.  I’m also drinking it in the present.

Celebrating:  MY HUBBY!!!  I know some of y’all are so tired of hearing about this, but I’m so happy for him. :)

Ordering:  OOH!! I ordered this GREAT dress from Ann Taylor today and I’m so excited!!!!!!!  We have a formal-ish affair next Tuesday night so I may have made up the difference in the great price to get it by this Friday {it’s probably going to need some minor alterations!!} → Petite Lace Flare Dress ←

Thanking:  Hannah.  Hannah is our babysitter that went to Charleston with us yesterday.  She rode along with me so that I could enjoy the awards banquet without interruption.  She took our kids to a fun little cookie shop and then had a minor mishap with R and his clothes {he’s potty training} at the park.  Poor kid → her, not him.  Her mom said she was not phased by it, but I would have been distraught as a 16 year old dealing with that mess…

Considering:  Reynolds’ birthday party.  I have some ideas, but I need to consider a few things before booking the location…we’ll see what happens over the next week or so.

Starting:  I have just started writing as a contributor to the Columbia SC Moms Blog {in case you missed that super fun announcement last week!!}.

Finishing:  Laundry!!!  I’m about to finish some laundry so I can climb in my bed and go to sleep.

I think that’s about it, for tonight at least!  I hope you’re all having a great February!
