Its the Small things that make me happy these days...

Nothing majorly exciting is happening in the Cassotto household these days, so I thought I'd share a few of the simple things that are making me super happy lately:  


Am I the only one slightly OBSESSED with all things Shutterfly?

 I got a HUGE Shutterfly book in the mail today!  WOO-HOO! I got 50% off a 12x12 book and I wanted to catch up so I did months 4-6 in one giant book.  It turned out way cuter in real person that I thought it would as I was making it!  I also got a gazillion prints made (got 50 free so then I ended up buying another 50 or so) to give to family members and put into frames.  At one point, my total was just $6 shy of getting free shipping, so I decided I better just go ahead and SPEND that $6 so I ordered really cute return address labels with Red's face on them, super adorable, if I do so say so myself!

 Chocolate Chip Cookies.  For those of you who know the Rasmussons, you know my mom made DELICIOUS Chocolate Chip Cookies (CCC's for short) EVERY Sunday of my life growing up. It was a great tradition. When I was pregnant, I got really addicted to the pre-made dough from Nestle TollHouse.  ShopRite started carrying the FAMILY-size tubs and it was all down-hill from there.  hehe.  But lately, I've been going back to my baking Rasmusson roots and working on perfecting my home-made recipe and I have to say, Nesltle's has nothing on me now!  YUM.  There ain't NOTHING a homemade CCC can't fix!

Home-made Mac N Cheese.  Nuf Said.

Red in his Walker.  This kid can't get enough of the walker - he LOOOVES it!  I'm contemplating putting away the GYNORMOUS and oh-so-tacky Exersaucer because he just loves the walker so much more now....but of course the second I put the Exersaucer away, I'll regret it and end up lugging it all back upstairs and assembling it again....hmm....p.s. you can't really tell but those shoes Red has on in this pictures are totally adorable, little baby shoes are the cutest!  Thank you cousin April for giving us the walker!!!


And last but not least, I'm super excited that tomorrow we'll get Big Love season 4 in the mail.  We were WAITLISTED (ghasp) for it when it first became available on Netflix a few weeks ago and now its MY TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm just sad its only 3 discs.  


And for real, my LAST thing to tell you I'm so excited about is GLEE.  I never watched it until recently.  I started Season 1 from Netflix while I was waiting for Big Love to become available.   Is it pathetic that I cried during the season 1 finale when Quinn had her baby and they all told Mr.Shoester how Glee changed their lives??!!  I mean, seriously, I cried on 3 separate occasions during the viewing of the Season 1 finale.  And what's even more amazing is that I can now take Season 2 off my queue because the CANTON LIBRARY NOW CARRIES GLEEEEEE!  And they're holding Season 2 for me right now.  Going to pick it up tonight.  OMGoodness.....this post makes me sound like a fat mom who sits around watching movies and eating cookies and macaroni and cheese....


AND I LOVE THAT!
