What we've been doing

finding big rocks

discovering our shadow

I found this idea on pinterest. Use Modpodge to cover a flowerpot with fabric. Its pretty much awesome.

p.s. I got the beeeest bag ever for my new diaper bag! It was one of those things I had to let the hubby buy because I couldn't let go of my debit card...but totally worth it! I'll take pictures soon!!

I'm tired

tonight des' dinner started with a chocolate filled oreo. Luckily, he decided he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, cucumbers and ranch, and watermelon throughout the meal. So it ended up alright. But I sort of laughed because he was the one making the meal choices tonight. (I did veto the request for ice cream. Felt pretty good about that.)

I have a month and a half left in my pregnancy. crazy, eh? Tomorrow I see the dr. again for another check up. Last time the wee-one was measuring "a bit small" so we'll see if we caught up.  And we may have settled on a name. A new name. One to be disclosed when we write it officially on the birth certificate. I don't want to jinx it.

Other than that, we're just hanging out. Sewing a bunch of ties (almost done! woo!) and recovering from serious dental work (still not complete. that would be kolt. poor guy) that will take at least two more trips. brush your teeth kids. brush em good.

And because we have a swell camera, here are a few pics I snapped today:

des removing the sand from his sand box. because, you know, its way more fun on the ground.

something to brighten your day

a typical des spotting. undies and a bucket for a hat. and his "mcQueen shoes"

camping

finally got the pics together. It was the first and the last time we camped this year. ah, memories.

what a boy does. dirt and cars. amen.

fishing

in the morning

We heart chicks

of the chicken variety, of course.


8 new ladies (we hope) to add to our hen house. We had to plan for winter deaths and chicken wars so we over bought a little. We lost three of our layers to racoons last week so our egg production has been greatly reduced. Too bad it will take until spring for these gals to start pulling their own weight.

two year olds can be pretty cute

Yesterday Des came in from outside, wanting to show me his plants:

today

Today I made my first two-week appointment at the dr's office! woo!!

I also realized I still have camping photos to edit/post. But I have a ton of ties to make so that will have to wait.

And I got an ad in my Google reader. suuuuuuuper annoying. Almost want to unsubscribe to the blog that promotes such blasphemy. I just might.

Lastly, today we'll go see Harry Potter in 3D. because we're like that. The hubs wanted to go at 10:30 and I almost died right there. that's my bedtime, folks. So we convinced the baby sitters they wanted to watch our rambunctious two-year-old and will head to an earlier time.  I'm totally excited!
