Friend Makin' Monday!

I haven't participated in a FMM in awhile but since today's questions are all about SPRING, I thought I would play along!

1. Favorite things about Spring: flowers, cherry blossom trees, sunshine filled days after the long long rainy winter, Easter, being able to leave the house without bundling up myself and my toddler....

2. What I'm doing for Spring Break: um...I am a grown up with no school aged children. Spring break is irrelevant to me except that my brother is staying with us for the week! He is getting married in May and I am savoring this special time in his life with him. Plus, him and my husband are best buds so it's like Brett gets to have a friend over and spend the night, hee hee. :)

3. Favorite Spring flower: I love tulips!!

4. Do you have a garden? I wish. :( I attempted to garden last year but it was a mega FAIL. Maybe someday....

5. If so, what do you grow? I did attempt to grow some tomatoes. I don't want to talk about it though....too traumatizing. *sniff sniff*

6. Do you do Spring cleaning? Yes! I love opening the windows and letting the fresh air in! It's hard to stay indoors during the nice weather though. We desperately need to clean out our guest room, especially since it is going to house the newlyweds for a couple months after their wedding! I'm really looking forward to free babysitting spending some quality time with them!!

7. What is your weather *really* like right now? It's actually pretty Spring-y! Right now the sun is shining and it's a cool 51 but feels nice in the sunshine.

8. Snapped any weather related photos lately? Here is a pic of Emersyn at the zoo last week!

9. What's your favorite thing to do on a sunny afternoon? Go on a walk, go to the zoo, go to the park! Any of those work! :)

10. Favorite TV show right now? Biggest Loser for sure! :) I also love Thursday night shows....Community, Parks & Rec, Office and 30 Rock. Hilarious.

Friend Makin' Monday- Thanksgiving Edition

1. Turkey or Ham? Turkey....but ONLY with cranberry sauce!! Can't eat turkey without it!!

2. Favorite side dish: would have to be a toss up between stuffing, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes. Geez....carbs are the enemy!

3. Favorite dessert: good old fashioned pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream!!

4. Black Friday: Are you going or not? Not. If there is some killer deal that I just can't live without, maybe, but Brett has to work that day and I am not sure that I am brave enough to go into the crowds with my baby girl by myself!

5. If so, what's on the top of your list? I do need a new crockpot...mine is in rough shape. Also need a new set of tupperware. So if they are practically giving away these items somewhere, I might venture out. :)

6. Going out of town or staying close to home? Staying close to home!

7. Hosting or helping? Helping...although I offered to host!

8. Name one family tradition at Thanksgiving: whenever we have it with my family, we always do communion which I think is really special.

9. What do you do after dinner? Clean up and hang out. I am bringing a book this year! Ems can have fun playing with her cousins, Daddy can watch football, and Mommy can READ!!

10. What are you most thankful for this year? TOO MANY THINGS TO LIST!!! I am most thankful for my family.
