Hungry boy

Loooove the very hungry caterpillar. Bubba-love does too. And the doggies outside playing in two inches of snow.

that's right. Haters complained enough, and got some stinking snow. I was rather enjoying my balmy fifty degrees, no coats, windows down and sunshine,thankyouverymuch. I was starting to think it was April. I'll just keep de-junking anyways I guess. Not that anyone can tell....

Only child

I think bubba monster likes all the attention, with not having his sister around. And getting to play with whatever toy he wants. He's been going from toy to toy, thrilled that mama lets him play and doesn't try and take anything away. And he slept in, waaaaay past his normal wake up. But I think he misses his sister. Sorry for all the one-photo posts. Promise lots of good ones are forth coming. Mi madre has my memory card. I'll snatch it next week! Someone has to pick up Claire....

Missing

this little blondie. I heard she was in texas, with an aunt, grandparents, and two puppies. Anybody seen her?

Rule breaking

I said I would never ever ever buy a pair of skinny jeans. And here I am, wearing them at 6+ months prego-licious. What was I thinking??? Oh yeah, that they fit inside my boots. Yes.

Sharing is caring.

I try realllly hard not to let the kids watch tv all day. I declared it a sick day, and decided I don't care about that- we are out of tissues, so toilet paper is being passed around. Along with some Cheetos. Bubba monster looooves them. The orange compliments the green bruise covering half his forehead, right?

btw, Dora is not my fave. Oh well.

Photo-a-day

They will probably all be terrible photos, but let's see how long this lasts, shall we? I need a 'fun' resolution. The 'improvement' ones are personal this time around... And some are post-baby, so gotta wait for a while.

The chicklets dancing and falling. Nothing like running around like a banshee in a freshly picked up and vacuumed room, right?

Today's goals- get the Christmas put away, and finish the laundry. (including putting away!) it's a no-pain-so-far day, and although there is nothing like kicking back when the stickies arrive, we have a few busy weeks ahead and I don't like to rest when I'm sick. I get better faster, I think. (I took the ACT and another standardized test for two days with a 102 degree fever. The score from that test got me into BYU, so you tell me if I should do stuff when I'm sick.) off to put kids down for naps. Best part of the day sometimes!

Princess cowgirl.

Love my princess. She got through her first full day of sunbeams, despite losing all her friends she so dearly loves. She ended up doing better than most of the kids, totally surprised, and not.

Claire and bubba got cowboy hats for Christmas, and Claire is convinced the tag says something about princesses, making them for cowboy princesses. Whatever, it's cute.

cant wait for baby e to join the rascals. She has a lot to look forward to. Just 14 weeks! That doesn't sound like much..... So excited!

New years eve?

Took me long time to realize that this morning. Today is more significant than just saturday morning. And the chicklets have no idea. We are on our third time of watching cars 2.... It's almost eleven. Awesome. Hope you are less lame than I am!

The Girls

Meet the girls. They are a pair of tri-color king Charles spaniels. And they will steal your heart in 2.9 seconds. Lucy and Lizzy came to my parents home a couple months ago. The parents are now totally empty nesters, and Mamacita needed some company. And the girls certainly fulfill that role well. They are full of snuggles, loves, and are as good as could ever be expected with my littles. Can't wait to see them again soon!

Did you know?

I absolutely hate having my picture taken. Choc chip cookies are my weakness. For not being a stellar cook/baker, I make really good creme brûlée. My parents are the best, and my dad is the easiest person to talk to. I don't like drinking water. Unless really cold, with ice, no straw. Lemon when available. Joe and I both knew baby E is a girl, and didn't tell the other that we knew til Christmas. (punk.) I can't decide how to spell baby's name. Vacuuming is my favorite chore, and I like being able to see how much junk got sucked up off the floor. (gross, I know) I love surprises, and always ruin them for myself, sometimes on purpose. I hate knowing a surprise is coming. My body is a strange thing. I have double jointed elbows, a shoulder blade and thumb. One leg is longer than the other. And short limbs. It's great.... I don't mind doing laundry. Putting it away when it's clean is a whole other story. Sorry mom. I have middle child syndrome. I don't know all my cousins. I haven't even met them all. But I do have cousins with grand kids. This was random. But I am avoiding putting away laundry, so, it was productive. Right?
