entry #92

1. i love how my daughter thinks that in the song by
black eyed peas, 'boom boom, pow' that they say
'i gotta kitty cat' instead of 'i've gotta get that'

2. getting all the loads of clothes that i washed
from our trip put away thanks to my kids
and hubby.

3. getting dishes done first thing in the morning.
helps me get going.

4. putting the baby bassinet in our room from being
downstairs in the way. it makes me get even more
excited about our little one.

5. finally getting to the library to get some novels
for myself.

entry #91

1. homemade hot cocoa on rainy days with marshmallows.

2. fresh notepads that are just waiting for things to be
written. maybe i'll come up with something awesome
to fill the pages with. like the good ole' days when i
had my full functioning brain.

3. eating a bunch of junk and watching movies with my hubby.

4. singing white christmas with my daughter all day yesterday.

5. my daughter being my photographer.
22 weeks tomorrow. i like to start counting
down now. sounds so much better. 18 weeks
to go!

entry #90

i just realized that i should be at least half way to 365 by now
and i'm going to try and make up for it.

1. being almost done with knitting my first blanket. it's for our
new baby. i can't wait to wrap our little one in it and cuddle.

2. i love how goofy my kids are. there is really never a dull
moment. example: on our trip my sis and her hubby taught
my kids how to feed the seagulls! with their lunch.... olivia
of course got the concept and continued to eat her sandwich
and only picked off the crust to throw. liam, however, didn't
understand and thinks that he can just pick off pieces of his
food wherever he his and start throwing it. in the car. in the house.
thanks guys! just wait till your baby is here. i'll be sure and teach
it some things.... ;)

3. my daughter draining my husband's battery on his
phone because she was playing sims3. she kept yelling,
'people are giving me money! and then i can buy things!
i bought a radio and put it on my counter and then i turned
it on and then turned it off!' she refuses to acknowledge that
her sim is actually going to work. she's a born gamer just
like her mommy and daddy.

4. cantelope and cherries

5. how much i miss my hubby now that
he's back to work after vacation time.
i don't think many wives could say that.

back from camping... (entry #89)

and going to try and re-cap the fun that we did have

to make me feel better...

1. the beach was lovely.
we got to spend a whole day there
on our second day. it was extremely busy
though. i saw a lot of skin i didn't want to see.
and we all got burned pretty bad. my hubby's
forehead is bubbly. so cute!

2. my little girl climbed all the way up this
sand dune and back with little help from
her uncle. i was so proud of her!

3. my son overcoming his fear of the sand
and thoroughly enjoying it!

4. spending time with these two cuties

5. all of us rocking out on our way home


i thoroughly enjoy camping. so i thought.
i very much dislike mosquitoes, rain while
camping, sleeping in a tent with sand, and driving
around for 2.5 hours to try and find something
to do when i didn't feel well from the sun i
got the day before. oh and pregnancy horomones
cause it makes me not a happy camper.

lets just say..... i was a happy camper when we left!
