My birthday is tomorrow... no big deal. Hit the big 3.0. last year so I don't feel like there is much need to really think about this day... Jonathan will be leaving for the weekend, we're not doing gifts anyways... just another day :)
But one thing I do love about birthdays is the cards in the mail. Often from friends who live out of town, parents and grandparents. The best thing about them? Often they come with money! The Grandparents, not the friends, no pressure :)
But here's my question. Most of the time I get this money and put it in the bank because it's a check. Do I end up actually spending the money on myself? Probably not... it gets lost in the shuffle.
This year I'm going to make an effort to spend my birthday money on me. It doesn't equal enough to go on a shopping spree in Chicago, but it would cover a nice pair of boots or jeans, or even a coat. Money that I shouldn't feel guilty about spending... it's for me. That's the whole intention.
Now to find the time to actually go shopping.....

Back at it or Just starting....
Ok.. here we go.
I'll start blogging. I mean really blogging. Facebook is great, Instagram is great.... but I feel like I need a place to be able to really share what's going on in our lives.
I had a friend complain to me that I post too many pictures of my daughter on Facebook. It makes her feel bad because she hasn't been able to have children of her own yet. It breaks my heart. I don't want to be insensitive...but at the same time I want to be able to share what is going on in my life and share this wonderful part of it.
And on the flip side I have friends that ask me to post more pictures because they don't think I do enough :) Here's one from our last upload... Moose is showing off her really pretty hair :)
Ok... Tomorrow's another day.... More pictures to follow.... more stories about how this little person is ruling my life and how I'll do my best to take control back! :)

Name.
So, here we go!
The reason for the name of this blog... After Jonathan and I started dating I met a guy at a friends during a pumpkin carving gathering... a bunch of us were talking and he asked why my boyfriend wasn't there... it was duck hunting season, so he was up in the UP. We all got to talking and somebody brought up my last name and his last name...This guy got so excited and left the room. Came back a little later to play some music and this is the song he played!
Pool party baby
It was a cool party
Cool pool party
La la la la
Pool party baby
It was a cool party
Cool pool party
La la la la
Popcorn, hot dog buns, and hamburger patties
All the food you need to feed the many hungry
Millions of people want in to my party
But it's invite only
And you're on the list baby
-Your pool rips!
I cleaned it yesterday
-Girls look cute!
In their swimming suits
-Holy Guacamole!
We've got chips!
So come on take a dip
'Cause my pool rips
It was a pool party for the cool kids at my school
It was a pool party for the cool kids at my school
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
Yeah yeah yeah
Pool party baby
It was a cool party
Cool pool party
La la la la
Pool party baby
The ratio of girls to guys is five to one
There hasn't been a party like this since 1981
Come to my party let the games begin
We've even got floaties if you can't swim

Yeah yeah yeah
I love you girl, you know it's true
To have a super party in my swimming pool
Jump on in and you will see
Just how fun a pool party can be
But don't eat too much before you swim
'Cause you might get a cramp under your chin
Someone's screaming, that's not cool
Who threw that Reggie Bar in the pool?
Ronnie, Sally, Bobby and Mike
It's my pool party, we'll do what we like!
It was a pool party for the cool kids at my school
It was a pool party for the cool kids at my school
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
It's so cool in my pool
There's no pool at my school
There's no school in my pool
There's no pool at my school
So it's cool at my pool
Yeah yeah yeah
He said that when his friends were getting ready to go out for the night they would play this random song.... and that I must play it at my wedding. Well, I didn't. But I always thought it was a fun song, super random, and would be a great blog name.
