I've been making these snack monsters for Hailee and she loves them. It's pretty self explanatory. I use Granny Smith apples. I saw this in a magazine.

What do you underwear say about you?

I got this from http://www.thepeanuttgallery.blogspot.com/ aka Dainty Diva. This is what mine said. Obviously I'm not wearing any underwear. But it was wrong about it being a jungle down there. I'm very well groomed if I do say so myself:0) What does yours say about you?

What Your Underwear Says About You

You're a total rebel who doesn't conform to any rules. P.S. - It's a jungle down there! You're also way too lazy to do your laundry more than a few times a year.

The Underwear Oracle

Mommy Brain

You know you have mommy brain when you hear your husband say something in the kitchen and you say "what honey?" and he starts cracking up because he didn't say anything he just farted really loud. This has happened on a few occasions. Why am I talking to my husbands gas?

Weddings

We went to a beautiful wedding today. The church was absolutely gorgeous. It was the Our Lady Chapel Of The Angels. The whole church was white marble, huge columns, stained glass & angel statues . It was pretty much all white. So heavenly and pure:0) The preist was young and kept everyones attention. The dresses were awesome and you could just feel the love oozing from the church. If churches ooz that is. The reception that followed was beautiful. We took Gianna and not Hailee. Gianna might be a little too much to handle if your over 23. She's such a ham but very wiggily. Of course she didn't feel like being held for 1 1/2 hours at the church and the other four at the reception. She just wants to be running around but is still at the stage where she won't stop at the top of steps if we didn't stop her she'd walk down them as if they weren't there resulting in a head injury fo sho. Nuts were on my mind today for some reason. I had a spoonful of peanut butter for breakfast then after I showered this morning I grabbed Aaron for a quickie before he showered. Then before we left I said I'm going to grab a sack full of nuts for the road. Literally I grabbed some nuts and put them in a baggie for the drive. Then after I finished my nuts in the car I told aaron I was going to put the rest of Gianna's food in "this salty nut sack. What was on our dinner salad at the wedding? Why nuts of course. Then I had to explain to the person sitting next to us what I just explained to Y'all. I'm sick of talking about them now. Hailee's grandma Diane washed every dirty piece of clothing in our house and folded them while we were gone. Hallelujah! I don't think it's ever been done before! Now I'm starting with a clean slate! Remind me to keep up. I'm off to bed. Oh and I just realized I said the words "heavenly, pure, God & nut sack" all in the same post. Who would have thought?:0)

The bomb diggety

This stuff http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P37170&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3866is awesome it leaves your skin so smooth and smells good enough to eat . It would make a great Christmas gift!

Confiscated

Aaron took the beloved Power Book G4 to work. I think it's for good:0( He did however bring me home a different computer and new desk to sit at while I do my thang. It was really sweet of him. I went out to see the movie"Just Like Heaven" with my friend Amy and when I came in he was putting this desk together for me. He's so sweet sometimes. Anyway I havent been able to check it as often. The other was just so convenient. Oh well. Tonight Aaron and I get to go out for a little while by ourselves. I really want to see the movie "Flight Plan" Or we could go get a drink somewhere.

I've been doing Haloween crafts with Hailee lately. I love fall it's my favorite time of year. It reminds me of playing outside when I was a kid. Now when I'm outside I have a kid on my hip and one by the hand. Maybe one in the oven soon? Who knows. If it happens it happens. We're leaving it up to the big man upstairs. I would like to wait until our anniversary's over. We want to go to New York City and get our freak on. I took the kids to the park today and when we came back Hailee was standing in the house holding this little pony. She had a weirde look on her face and she said "this stinks now" I said "why does it stink Hailee" and she said because I had it in my pants while I was at the park" I said "in your underwear", "yes" she replied. I told her to try her pocket next time:0) What a goof. Anyway I have a screamin babe to feed. Until Next time.

BORING

Not much happening in my neck of the woods. Trying to find Gwen Stefani & Black Eyed Pea tickets for my friends B-day. They all seem to be sold out or in the $100-$600 range. Dropped a pizza stone on my big toe the other day. that felt damn good. Trying to organize our basement. Go through old toys to give to Good Will . Too many things to get done and not enough time in the day. Let alone enough time to do housework, sort through old clothes, spend quality time with hubby, spend quality one on one time with Hailee, spend time with myself, Does anyone have it all together? If you do don't hesitate to let me know how you do it. Whats your system? I can't keep up and stay sane too. Oh and also fufill the urge to be off taking water samples from some body of water in South America or Africa while my husband and child are waiting for me back at the hut in the village. Maybe we should do missionary work or something. Anyway is anyone organized?

I'm finally posting these because we left right after her B-day. I made her a little carrot cake with cream cheese icing. We had to stop her at some point. She wouldn't have stopped on her own.

We let the kids run through the irrigation system in the field to cool off. They looked like they had mud boxes on their feet when they came back. They kept whining that their feet were too heavy to carry.

It was so nice to go outside in the morning or anytime actually and look at this view. There was always a nice breeze blowing. No high heat index of 115 degree's like in Maryland!

We went Four Wheeling and man was that fun. The picture doesn't do the hill in the background justice. It went straight up. I was scared shitless the first time up. Once you hit the top, miles of sand and trails that take you to the beach. Breathtaking! The hill was like the hill they were riding in "Napolean Dynamite" I kid you not! I think it was that hill actually.

Finally I got the camera cord so I could post my pictures. I ended up getting sick after Aaron. So here's the picture of my meeting with the lovely Mrs. Flinger! I had so much fun in the little time we spent together and felt like I was seeing an old friend:0) If I moved out there we'd have a blast! Lb was even cuter in person and so were you Leslie!

Sick House

Hubby's been puking all day:0( He's got what Gianna had! Pray it doesn't go any further than him.

POOR Gianna!

My baby puked on the flight 3 times. Then at the airport in Ohio. Then when we landed in B-More, when we got home and in the morning! It breaks my heart to see her helpless little face in mid dry heave:0( Luckily she seems better now. She loves to eat and to offer her mere teaspoons of water every so often was a sin. She screamed. Later today I offered her crackers and she kept going back into the kitchen where they were, pointed up and said"THAT! THAT!" A billion times. Crying, begging for another club cracker. The only thing that really relaxed her was the "Baby Monet" Einstein video we just got her. I swear we played it 20 times today plus the bonus material. Hailee loved the Einstein videos. She has most of them but on VHS. Shen knew what a Octagon was at 18 months. She new her colors too and ABC's. I swear it was those damn videos! And a lot of TLC of course:0) Enough bragging for now. I was going to post pics of our wonderful trip but hubby left the camera cord at the office. I'll do it tommorow. Hailee's first day of pre k! She's so excited, her friend Aidan is in her class. Wish us luck that baby's not hurling on the way to school!

QUESTION?

Has anyone ever missed their flight? Because we did! I guess we thought we could arrive at the gate right at the time of departure. The plane was still connected to the walkway. But they apparently gave our tickets away 10 min before departure. We had checked our bags an hour before departure time! So they are on their merry way back to Baltimore right now! Oh well, God allowed it to happen for a reason. We have one more day to spend with our family and this beautiful weather. DARN:0) Can't wait to get home to post pics of our trip and the wonderful meeting with Mrs. Flinger. She's awesome! Boy is that LB a cutie in person! I got to hold her too! Too bad we don't live closer. I felt like I've known her forever and we would have a blast together. One more reason to move out here!

Two Children

You know you have more than one child when?-You let your one year old play with small polly pocket parts for a week straight.(Binky in of course, I'm not that bad guys) We need to get some baby toys up in this MO FO. Why don't you all add one:0)
