Post 242: Playing Hookie

Over the weekend the boys and I played hookie from everything-- church, dinners, social outings, bills, showers--everything. So we could work on the floors I have been complaining about for months.

By noon The Babe was turning into a crank so we decided to pack up and head to the park for lunch and some much needed time on the swings...all work and no play...well, you know.
The Babe was a bit skeptical at first. He had been strapped down all day (highchair, jumper, exersaucer, repeat) and he was ready to feel the wind in his...hair?
Mr. Mom.We had a lovely little lunch in the park. Then it was on to the swings! The Babe was not so sure about it...

Once he got going he was a giggle machine. He LOVED it. He has been on the swings a million times but is so surprised with the outcome EVERY. TIME.We swung, blew bubbles (which he is completely not interested in yet), and swung some more until it was obviously nap time . I'm not sure who had more fun, The Babe or me and The Husband! I am glad we have a good excuse to act silly in the park and not seem quite so crazy..

(my head doesn't look that huge in real life....really)

Post 221: Wedding Weekend

Eeee! Is this not the cutest? We have a week of weddings, friends and families coming up. We will be out as soon as I can stuff this ungodly amount of baby junk, clothes and a dog in our little rental car. I may need to pull out some Mary Poppins tricks to make this work. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Post 185: Hot Air Balloons!

This weekend the husband and I accompanied some friends to watch hot air balloons! The balloons were so big and beautiful!At night they were so beautiful! We got to see a bunch of them glow and it was quite a sight.
I only wish I were smart enough to charge the camera before we went! Maybe next time.

Post 181: Happy 4th of July Weekend!!

Happy 4th of July to all my fellow American bloggers! I hope you all have a lovely weekend full of festivities. This will be my first Independence Day celebrated away from family. I have decided I am too pregnant for the 8 hour drive. Sooo I will be celebrating by painting my master bedroom and straightening the house for the arrival of Luke and the in-laws.

Post 162: Happy Weekend!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! This is my last weekend in the old house, it is so exciting but a bit sad at the same time. I am really happy to start a new chapter at a new place, but this, being my first home will be missed.

I hope you all get plenty of sunshine and signs of springtime this weekend! Do you have any big plans? Besides packing and fixing a few last things I hope to go see Alice in Wonderland!

I am not a big Tim Burton fan nor am I in love with Johnny Depp but as a child I was HUGELY obsessed with Harry Harris' 1985 made for TV movie of Alice In Wonderland.

I am honestly expecting to be somewhat let down since I am sure Tim Burton's version will not include a hookah smoking tap dancing caterpillar played by Sammy Davis Jr. sigh.

Post 151: Happy Valentine's Day Weekend

This old valentine card makes me giggle. :)

Post 123: HAPPY FRIDAY!

This afternoon I will be getting the news about our offer on the Dream Home! Eeeeeeee! I am so excited just to know what our next move is wether they accept our offer or not....If it is a 'yes' I have a TON of work ahead of me since we will have to get this house sold!

Oh, Also check out this lovely little Italian blog, Officine Creative! I dont know Italian but it is completely adorable annnd she posted a picture of my Etsy packaging . I am on the bottom left :D
I hope all of you have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

Post 118: Is it seriously Friday?

This week went by entirely too fast. Every thing is soooo busy, I am not nearly as far as I hoped to be by the weekend.... and I am entirely too exhausted.
This looks like it would make for the perfect weekend, full of sunshine, sleep, and maybe a good book.
But this looks more like reality....

Buuut someones got to do it. At least I will get to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment once I am finished!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Post 111: Happy Weekend!

These ladybugs have taken over my house! When the sun comes out I feel like I live in a cloud of ladybugs. Which isn't nearly as fantastic as it sounds. While they are pretty, ladybugs are still bugs. hehe.

I caught this little pretty little lady crawling around outside. :)

Anybody have any great weekend plans? The man thinks he has found his dream home so we might entertain that idea by spending saturday at the bank....it really is an unbeliveable home, but I am hesitant.

Post 102: Happy Weekend!

Does anyone have any good weekend plans?

I am a HUGE klutz and burnt a good couple inches of my hair messing with the heat unit last night. Don't ask me how I managed to do it. (I'm such a nerd)....soooo I will be getting the haircut that I have been putting off for the past 15 months....yes I said fifteen....

Adam has complained that it is too long anyway. He met me with short hair, and this is the first time in ages it has been long...sooo I am considering short once again...but I feel so much more girlie with long hair! (I love girlie :D) Ooooooh the decision is so hard!

Post 91: An Apple A Day Keeps the Dr. Away!

Today was an absolutely fantastic Sunday. My husband and I joined a few friends for my first visit to Tanners Orchard in Central Illinois. Aaaand the weather was perfect. There were pumpkins, silly goats, a corn maze, and of course PLENTY of apples!

I honestly cannot say that I enjoyed the corn maze much...I have a fear of getting lost and this seemed to play into my fear...walking in circles and everything looking the same.... buuut

I seemed to manage well enough to make it through half of the maze...as a group effort of course...

After filling up on yummy Apple Pie Twisters and enjoying the lovely market we called it a day at Tanners ...I wish I had more pictures to share! Maybe next time! ;)

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

This image cracks me up....Clown graffiti....genius! (found here)

Tomorrow morning I drop Mr. Gus off at the kennel (I am hoping this goes well). It makes me kind of sad and I am a bit hesitant but it is at the vet and I hear it is supposed to be good so I have my fingers crossed. Then, Adam and I are off to St. Louis where I will be spending my 25th birthday at Six Flags! A bit nerdy but what can I say? I am still a kid as far as I am concerned....hehe....

Post 43: Good Morning Folks!!

It is only 8:30am (when i started typing this) annnnnd I have already been so productive!

"productive" may be a relative term considering by this time I am lucky If I have even brushed my teeth yet....

So I started out with my breakfast of champions (thanks Adam) serenaded by lovely Paul Simon...

Then I finished up sewing up my lil' giveaway....

and I already got the cam out so "Hop on the bus Gus" and I had our "photo opportunity"...

surprisingly I got a free nasal cleanse compliments of Gus!

And I am preparing myself for the up and coming weekend. Due to my husbands love of all things redneck I will be attending my second tractor pull in Henry, IL. I am hesitant about these things but I bet I will come back with wonderful stories and interesting pictures assuming I do not partake in one too many PBRs...wish me luck! lol

Oh and the reason I am here in the first place...Once I get all my pics edited into a pretty little image I will be posting my giveaway!!!
