30 days in pictures.

Not sure if you’ve seen the 30 days in pictures thing going around. Some of my younger FB friends are doing it, they are also photo junkies. But it’s a great idea to get conversation going, and so I’m going to do it there and here.

Enough said. Here is day one…

“A PICTURE OF YOU AND 10 FACTS”

1. I am 5' 1/2"
2. My favorite color is Purple, but pink and turquoise are up there.
3. In my art room I have at LEAST 19 pairs of scissors.
3. I have two boxers. Both brindle, Maggie turning 8 next month. Sophie is 6.
4. I have two cats. Jordan, just 8 and Chloe who is 7.

Feisty

What's new with two. xoxo...

We had a date today...

A you and me only kinda date...

Where you laughed...

And laughed some more...

You ate your favorite McD's pancakes, with apple juice...

You love to watch the people, and to see the way they decorate each season or holiday...

You have a curious way about you Weaky Man, and I love it...

The date to McD's was a treat, and T@rget afterwards was to shop for your present. I had some little things for you...

Like these fun realistic dinosaurs, they have smooshy beads inside them. You LOVE your Tonka trucks, and the blue want is a bubble wand is from Wally World.

Oh and the Chuck fire station, you love the little Tonka trucks so why not...

This was our "big" present to you. All 120 pieces of wooded train and pieces for you, and YES I know it says 3+ on the box, AND that inside it says it is specificly made for 3+ because of small parts, BUT I am in charge here, so I say it's ok...

Oh so while I was on a roll of breaking toy age limit rules, I got you the train mechanic house too...

Bagel picked this out for you, your Gramma Mc bought it for you, from her, so whatever, I think you'll get a kick out of it, it vibrates something wicked...

Your Gramma Mc also spent a bit o' $$ and got you and your sister the fancy pants Step 2 Welcome Home house for the back yard...

Since Bagel's birthday is June 2nd it's a big ol' combo gift. One would assume this was their ONLY present birthdays and Christmas combined, but I do not doubt there will be more... there always is...

Enough about presents and random birthday fun. Let's talk about you little guy...

You just started sitting on my lap, and we either go on Youtube to watch video's (you really like Baby Einstein ones) or Sproutonline.com to see your favorite friends!

We go to Starbucks, Mommies favorite place to chill with you one on one, you love to go pick out your organic mush in a capri sun like pouch (think applesauce consistancy, but he LOVES them)

We hike in the woods, and you wear my Michigan hat, and try to nap on my shoulders! (Too cute little man!)

You look like your 4 here instead of 2! So big!!

You and your sister are getting along better... sort of... well you tollerate each other, only if there are NO toys involved... or attention from parents... or grandparents... well lets just enjoy this moment here in the woods as you two share a moment...

When I was house sitting for the Queen and Carrots (Frances too) while in Florida, I was silly to let you loose and go clean the litter boxes, while I was getting assulted by a freak of a siamese cat, you were removing the rocks, dirt and leaves from Queen's plant. ALL over her dining room!! So you were covered in dirt, thank gawd I hadn't watered that plant prior to you!

So I changed your butt, or at least stripped you, and you ran off, so I let you. And you kept running around butt naked with this big wooden goose... what a silly handful of a boy I have!!

Tomorrow is just the 4 of us celebrating, then Wednesday is with Queen, Carrots, Frances, Aerial, and Gramma and Grampa Mc, maybe even Great Grampa Ed. We will be having a "Cars" Disney themed party, since you love the movie and Mater is your favorite. It's hard to pick, you love Buzz Lightyear, and Cookie Monster too just as much!

I meant for this post to be some tear jerking, emotional over load of a post. A birthday post that could move anyone to tears. I seem to just have a mismosh of this last months fun pictures, but I must say this...

Happy 2nd Birthday to my boy. Born April 25th, 2008. At 4:06 pm, 7 lbs, 10 oz, and 21 1/2 inches long. You came into this world a small mohawked little guy

You are a sweet boy, who over the last two years have grown into such an amazing little toddler. Your gibberish speaking with some english mixed in has everyone anticipating what you will say.

I can't wait to hear your opinion, your views, and your idea's. I can't wait to spend my life getting to know you.

I once said that if I have a little girl my life would be complete. Having your sister first made me think it didn't matter if you were a boy or a girl I was just fine with either.

Had I known what a little boy does to his mother's heart, I would have wanted you even more. You make me want you to be my Momma's boy, to come to me with any and every problem. I don't so much favor you over your sister, but you two are definiatly different to me. Love is equal, but different.

I hope your birthday is great, I hope the world for you. Lots of hugs and kisses.

More then my life,

Mommy

xo...

Bagel in pictures

What's new with my Bagel? Well let me tell you...

Art room

Bagel was freaking excited about her jumbo glue stick. At this point (3 1/2 yrs) she uses scissors, glue sticks, and my paper cutter (ITS SAFE, and I am ALWAYS around for it!) she uses crayons, and colored pencils, she has lost the freedome of markers, since she ALWAYS has an urge to draw a full beard, mustache, and uno brow with the darkest or brightest color marker.

She loves to stamp, and now that she uses my Big Shot (die cut machine with Stampin' Up! and Sizzix) she loves that too! She loves her playdough, and her paints, and her sticker books too.

This is bagel with glue stick, and her purple paper making valentines for everyone. She glued on die cut hearts and butterflies she die cut out with Gigi the other day.

Bagel also likes to play in my laundry when I am folding it. So instead of getting frusterated at her playing in my clean clothes I have her search for her stuff, and go put it in the right drawer, she thinks this is a big deal. So do I.

Bagel loves Starbucks as much as I do, she and I found on by the dentist, so we go eat sugary things before we go their (she's been getting fitted for an appliace, retainer like thing, so we've gone a few times this month already!) Nothing like a sparkly donut and an organic juice drink (looks like apple sauce in a green pouch)

She also loves to cheese really big for those mommy and Bagel shots!

She wasn't mad, just very chill at the dentist, no nap and the sugar buzz had worn off. I agree with Maternal Mirth, this is one of my favorite shots of her lately. (BTW, we call her dentist, Dr. Purple, this lady has a fetish with purple like Bagel and I do. She has a HUGE purple chair, purple stools, purple walls. But even better? She has purple spit cups, purple gloves and purple bibs to drool on! AND purple heart sunglasses to borrow when you sit in her chair. She is awesome!)

Bagel was bad. Bagel yelled at me to "Shut it up" I gave her a time out. Explained it was mean to say that to mommy. She appologized then wanted to call Queen to tell her. It's like her confessional. My mom loves it, and I like that she can go to the Queen for anything like that even at such a young age.

I had to stop by my dear friend D. Mudd Pimpster's house

(BTW, this is her "THIS NKOTB CONCERT REUNION IS BETTER THEN MY WEDDING DAY"

excited face. Your welcome D Mudd.)

for some WW papers. I brought along Bagel so she could meet D. Mudd's daughter, K Bug. She is just 2, but they played nice together for a bit. I was excited to see them together, and can't wait for more play dates in the future.

Bagel also said something cute last night, she was up late folding laundry with me, and I had a pile for Weaky's room, so I asked her to quietly put it in front of his door, I will put it away in the morning. She said she would "Tick Toe" to his room. Which was her shuffling her feet down the hall. Too funny!

And if you know of the "Tinkerbell" movie well since Bagel has declared her self Tinkerbell, it only seems fit that I am

Queen Clarion. Sure I was sad to not be Tinkerbell anymore, but with my old age (HA!) and being a mom, I like the promotion. On that note she also said that the Queen is...

Fairy Mary. To cute, looks alot like my mom!!

Hope you enjoyed another one of my rambling posts, I need to keep remembering to use my fancy signature I worked so hard on in paint (not the misspelled one either) look forward to a fun post by the cats. They are tired of seeing Sophie on here all the time.

A fun day, till something died up my ass

SO I had the best time at the crop this last Saturday. My mom and I went to this cute little, impossible to find, scrapbook store. A.maz.ing. The room color, the decorations (can you say Pottery Barn Kids?) the fully stocked kitchen all for us to use! And even better we were the only ones booked for that day!

So mom and I, head out early, I am a cropper from start of time to end, and then some. The crop started at 9 am and was scheduled till midnight. We stopped at Starbucks right around the corner, for a yummy breakfast and my free Mocha Peppermint Twist (Red) promo they have going on.

We cropped and shopped all morning, then off to TGI Friday for a great lunch. When we returned to the crop, our one girlfriend, Patti was there. The crop room manager showed up, and the party was getting funner! (yes that is a word I use often, way better then "more fun") Piper showed up later then she wanted, and Aerial came by too.

We all worked on projects, ate pizzas, drank wine (free, yes free when you crop!!) Then with little or no begging they let us all go into the warehouse where they store everything. Oh I forgot to mention, that this place is an online store, and the crop room was just opened to the public in October of 2008. So this warehouse is huge, all stocked with all the newest and trendiest scrapbooking supplies! Oh the ooohs, and aaahhhs, from everyone! It was great!!

This store ships as far as Australia! But we have it right here! (well about an hour away) but still! The prices are great, and they are possibly still running a sale on some Cricut cartridges for only $29.99!!!!

Anywho, so we all had a great time, Aerial left first, then Pipe and my mom left. Patti and I stayed till about 12:30, right as I was getting ready to take out my last load of stuff, I farted. Not the whole noisy fart. But the worst ones of all for me. The SBD. Now I have a cold and I can not breathe through my nose, so when I smelt it, I feared for everyones lives, well at least there nose hairs from being singed off.

So I announce that I farted and that I am sorry. If they never want me back again (after much praise on how fun and entertaining we all were) I would completely understand. Well of coarse they said it's no big deal, everyone farts. I then said, you must not smell it yet.

Oh when it hit them... they asked me if I shit myself? Or what died up my ass? (after 15 hours of quality time, you get pretty comfortable with people) I told them it stank. It made the younger girl gag.

I am so sorry to the nice ladies at Custom Crops. You were awesome, and nice, and your store was pretty, I am again sorry for dropping a fart bomb in your expensively decorated crop room. (that was no fart cloud. That was a bomb)

Outside of that our day was awesome. Oh and no I was not mortified, it takes WAY more then that to embarrass me. Maybe shitting myself would do it... be sure to check out Custom Crops and tell them I sent you.

Love a letter T

So here are the rules of the game. You take a letter of the alphabet, and list 10 of your favorite things (or things you love, right Becky?) but the twist is using the one letter of the alphabet! Hooray for fun. So here it goes, I have no patience to wait for a letter from someone so I will pick my own... I will pick a number and go with the coordinating letter... the number is 19... I got "S"...

1. Summer= I love hot weather, not spring, not fall, but hot.






2. Silly times= Yep, shocker I know. I love to be silly.





3. Sound= Well since music doesn't start with S, we will go with Sound. Check out the music playing here, for just a small dose of what I love to listen to.




4. Snow= Yes I do love snow. Ever since I went to Phoenix in December, and it was hot, and weird. I have a secret love for snow, only because everyone I know hates it. And it's not just because I don't drive in it often. I still don't mind. I think it's pretty, and fun, and makes me happy. But liking snow here is compared to living here and liking the Green Bay Packers. You just keep it to yourself.





5. S.N.A.I.L.= it's an adhesive that Stampin' Up! sells, I love it!!






6. Stampin' Up!= Hello! Can you say the best rubber stamping and scrapbooking company?!






7. Starbucks= Yes, I drink Starbucks, love it. Love there stuff... more to come on this in another post.







8. Spark.com= Well this is supposed to be an amazing and helpful site for me to lose weight. And I am sure if I would stick to it I would love it. I mean it's free, and they custom your diet, and work out plan and everything... if I would just stick to it...





9. Spaghetti!= not the food silly. My Spaghetti!






10. Scrapbooking= I like to escape into the love for preserving my family memories. Love it!

Now you can play, pick your own letter and play along. I will do this again someday, and just pick another letter! Enjoy!
