a scary thing...

when you are missing a cloth diaper and you can't remember if you used it or not... after embarrassing yourself by e-mail people to see where your missing diaper is (soiled or not) you find it rolled up into a ball in the diaper holder where it belongs..... not sure if the whole situation was scary for me because my brain just couldn't think where it could be or just the thought of baby poo sitting in Kevin's aunts lovely bedroom under the bed or something!... or being stuck under a seat in the van in 90degree heat... yuck!... other than that we are LOVING cloth diapers and just installed a clothes line so we can dry them in the breeze and sun...

Rebekah's Junior Prom...



.
Sorry things are slow here but since I have been back to work it seems everything is going rather slow... Just not enough hours in the day... in a revolt against feeling like i just can't do it all I woke up on Friday after sleeping all day while my Mom and Dad watched the kids for me... I decided quickly to give into the beautiful day and head to Boston to help pretty this girls up (not that she needs it or anything)... after being stuck on the Pike at the toll in Red Sox vs. Yankees traffic I made it there just in time to play make-up artist.... oh what fun it was and the kids loved it (Daisy even got a lipstick kiss on her cheek)... throw another sister and some fish and chips and a stop at a work related BBQ Kevin had and then a quick trip home... I regretted it while garage saling at 7:30 the next morning but hey this only happens a few times right?... I wish I could find the cute picture of her getting ready for my senior prom... she was eight and had dressed up for the occasion.... my how time flies!

for the love of Pyrex...


a new Rutland yard sale find...
someday I will have a whole set...
once my Brimfield budget can handle it!

While watching Babe...

Carter: "Mama I want two dogs!"

Me: "Go call Dad and tell him." (this is always my response to the dog thing because I would get one in a heart beat but Kevin is not really a dog person and says Carter has to be 8)

Carter: "But Mama I want two dogs for the sheep."

Me: "What sheep? We don't have any sheep?"

Carter: "Well why not?"

Me: "Now you really need to call Dad!"

a little bummed....

I am slightly upset that I am going back to work the same day as Dunkins' official Iced Coffee Day (the 21st)... iced coffee is a sure sign of summer for me and going back to work just in time for summer is totally NOT cool! But just an FYI all 16oz iced coffees 50cents and 10% of the proceeds go to Homes for our Troops. Honestly I think they should go toward support groups for coffee-holics!

Easter Celebrations


we had a wonderful Easter weekend with my Grandma visiting... on Friday we colored eggs and made cutout cookies... this morning we started with the kids finding their Easter baskets... they both got rain boots that we desperately need this time of year...Daisy *HEARTS* candy....
and today we all had Easter dinner with my family... I tried to keep things simple but beautiful... it was however freezing today but thank the Lord there was the perfect amount of sunshine... it made for some wonderful pictures... we did make it outside for an Easter egg hunt... Daisy's dress was a remake of a dress I wore when I was two... it was given to me by my mom and it had a stain on the front that I couldn't get out... so I cut it apart and made a new dress using the cross-stitched birds in the new dress... I love the way it came out and I love the color because it draws out her blue eyes... we took a couple four generation pictures... I love this one! all in all we had a wonderful time and were sad to see grandma go!... At least we will see her in August just in time for home-grown corn.... yum-o!

what I have been up to...

I have been working on our new laptop and it is confusing because I am not sure where to keep my photos... so i haven't been blogging as much... so I have been a little MIA... I have also been working on my maternity leave to-do list (I go back to work in less than 3 weeks)... and distracted by this....

Before:After:
airbrushing in photoshop.... so much fun! I am taking a photo editing course through SisTV and I mostly want to work on lighting but I am learning way more than I ever thought and I have airbrushed myself to have flawless skin!... I love the process and love looking younger but don't worry I won't waste to much time on this because I am off to scrapbook for the weekend with Marissa! Yeah!
