Q&A Session #4 & a Great Sleepover

Hi, internet peep friends!  One of the things I am doing this week is spring cleaning!  I've put it off long enough and now I must embrace the dreaded task.  Scrubbing.  Polishing.  Wiping.  Dusting.  Any cleaning verb you want to add, go right ahead 'cause I'm doin' it!  I'm even washing all of our baseboards and who knows what else I'll do!  To make it less daunting, I am cleaning a room or two at a time.  The downstairs is my least favorite because there's more to clean; we live in our downstairs area.  Upstairs is fairly unused and empty, so I'm saving that area for last and getting the larger, least fun areas done first.  Today I started with our bedroom, bathroom and the guest bathroom.  I hope to finish up on Friday and after that, just like my Momma said, it's U-N-T-O-U-C-H-A-B-L-E!  At least for a few days, Matt and Molly better not shed a hair, leave a streak, or drop a crumb.  Don't worry, I'm not that anal.  Oh, but I so am!  And it will feel so good when I've accomplished this week-long task! 

So I'm taking a bit of a break from the scrubbing to answer one last Q&A question left by my dear hubby, and also to tell you a little bit about our sleepover with Harrison.  Let me just tell you, first, how much I appreciate my man and how thankful I am for him!  Some of the things that come to mind just from this past weekend are:  I love how he can't get enough time with me; I appreciate what a diligent, faithful, and good provider he is; I value his care and concern for others and giving of himself to help them; oh, how I admire his pure heart--the guy never has a mean or malicious bone in his body; and I am thankful for his sense of humor and his desire to support and encourage me in my dreams.  I would marry the guy again and again!

Yes, yes, enough mushy stuff, but sometimes you just gotta know that I love him and why!  Matt wrote, "Meg, if you could learn one new thing instantly by simply snapping your fingers, what would it be? It could be anything from scuba diving to a new language (I had no idea translating would have been one of your dream jobs!) to how to tie a cherry stem with your tongue. The catch is that it can only be one thing."

Only one thing!?  He obviously knows me really well to have to put that requirement in the question!  Normally, I would choose something on the serious side of my left brain, but I'm gonna go for the right side this time.  And of course, there are a number of things that come to mind, but since my husband limited me to just one, I will have to go with ballroom dancing (all kinds of ballroom dancing).  The jive, jitterbug, waltz, tango, rumba, etc...all the dances they do on Dancing with the Stars.  How awesome would it be if I could just learn it instantly!?  Matt and I took swing lessons when we were dating and only remember a few basic moves, but it was so much fun.  He gets a really silly look on his face when we dance, and I have to look straight ahead at his chest because it hurts my neck to contstantly look up at him, so I'd either have to wear high heels, or I'd have to snap my fingers to do something about my height and his goofy look, too.  <grin>  I love him so!

In answer to Matt's second question:  Is there a time limit to posting questions that you have to answer on your blog? Or can we keep posting questions months from now and you'd still have to answer them? :)
Q&A session is now closed for this go around, but we'll do this again some time!

Now onto the slumber party with mister Harrison.  This little boy has had my heart since he was in his momma's tummy.  I actually got to hold him in the hospital for the first time when he was just about 12 hours old!  He's grown up so much since then. 

Our time this weekend was amazing...he was amazing, and so much fun!  At 2 years old at his first sleepover, he actually made it through the whole night!  He was such a good, sweet little boy!  We set him up on an air mattress next to our bed and right next to Molly.  We originally were going to camp out, but a severe thunderstorm came rolling through so we changed our plans.  We went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner, the park twice (once Friday night and once Saturday morning), and made pancakes Saturday morning, too.  It takes him a couple of minutes to get used to Molly but by the end of our time together, he was crawling all over her, throwing her balls, and talking up a storm about her.  Wanting us all to be together, whomever wasn't in the room, he'd ask, "Where's Matt?", or "Where's Molly?" and then go find that missing person or loved furry creature.  One of the funniest things was when Matt blew his nose Harrison said, "Matt's loud!" with a big grin on his face.  I'm giving you just a brief overview, and to be honest, it just doesn't even come close to how special it was for us.  I laid in bed, waking up throughout the night excitedly anticipating what he would be like when he woke up, and replaying each moment we'd had so far.  Sometimes I would even lean over the side of the bed to gaze upon my dear little friend sleeping soundly.  When he woke up, Miss Molly came on the bed with him and he just giggled away as she rolled around.  I'm not going to share everything because I'm keeping it near and dear to my heart, but it was just so fun!  And he's a joy!  I can't wait for our next slumber party!
